Hello Ani, I'm thrilled to let you know that we thoroughly enjoyed our tour. The sights were incredible, filled with rich history, culture, and breathtaking scenery. The guide and driver were some of the most caring people I’ve met during my travels. Despite some bumpy roads, the driver handled everything professionally, always keeping us safe and comfortable. Our guide was adorable and went above and beyond to ensure we experienced everything to the fullest. The meals were delicious, offering a true taste of traditional cuisine. Thank you for making our travel days so special!

Dear Hayku, my husband and I had an amazing 14 days in Mongolia, where we got to experience real traditions. We learned how to ride horses, which was fun and exciting. We also learned how to milk cows, giving us a fun experience and better understanding of the local way of life. Sleeping in a ger camp was unforgettable, it was so special to sleep in a traditional tent under the stars. This trip gave us a true taste of Mongolian culture, and we loved every moment.

My brother and I spent incredible 2 weeks in Mongolia. The culture, food, and scenery were all amazing, making it a truly memorable trip. We enjoyed exploring the unique landscapes and experiencing the local traditions. It was a fantastic adventure, and we would highly recommend visiting Mongolia with Arara to anyone looking for a special travel experience.

Our experience with Arara Travel in Mongolia was so fantastic that we decided to extend our journey to the Caucasus. At first, we were worried that 13 days might feel too long, especially with overnight stays in camps, but it was perfect. The guide was exceptional, and I want to sincerely thank our tour manager, Florena, for organizing everything so perfectly. It was an unforgettable adventure, and I highly recommend it!

We just returned from our tour, and it was undoubtedly one of my all-time favorite trips. From the start, Ani was extremely supportive and patient. She truly cares about her clients. The tour guide and driver we had were fantastic, ensuring we did exactly what we wanted at every stage. The highlight for me was definitely the ger camp and seeing the wild horses.

Hi Ani, we are finally back home tired after the long layover flights, but we are still full of lovely memories from our 5 Stans trip with you. You did a great job in arranging a lifetime experience for us. The Stans were truly a hidden gem for us, never expecting they have so much to offer. The people were very welcoming and kind, the food was delicious, the hotels you booked for us were comfortable and well-located. The guides were all nice and experienced. I will highlight Murad in Uzbekistan and Serder in Turkmenistan.
A few days were longer and we had to spend much time on the bus to reach some of the sights. The drivers were very professional and careful.

Many thanks Hayku for arranging our Cnetral Asia 5 Stans trip. The trip was exceptionally well-planned and executed, making it a truly memorable experience. The itinerary offered not only highlighted sights but also deeper insights into local life and traditions. We enjoyed an unforgettable sunset in Darvaza crater. Our guides were knowledgeable and engaging, sharing fascinating stories and historical facts that brought the places we visited to life. Serder in Turkmenistan was one of the best guides we had ever had. We will definitely use your company again and recommend to our friends.

The tour was thoughtfully planned, offering a wonderful mix of visits to architectural wonders, exploration of the Silk Road’s history, and the stunning natural beauty of Central Asia’s five diverse countries. The tour was well-organized, with a professional manager, Hasmik, who ensured every detail was covered well in advance. I also want to highlight the exceptional work of the guides and drivers, who ensured our trip was smooth and enjoyable. Although some of the roads were quite rough and bumpy especially the one to Darvaza gas crater in Turkmenistan, we are still extremely grateful for booking this trip. All the sites we visited were spectacular. Thank you again.

I was a bit doubtful at first because I had never heard of the Arara tour, but their reviews are good and I would like to visit 5 stars. I'm so glad I booked it! The itinerary was well-planned, offering a mix of culture and beautiful landscapes. Florena was helpful from the start, and always quick to answer my questions. Our guide was fantastic. She is organized, informative, and speaks great English. We traveled by comfortable buses, local planes, and trains, all of which were of high quality. Our group of 12 was made up of travelers from around the world, which was a lot of fun. The locals were very friendly, and the hotels were great. I highly recommend Araratour to anyone planning to visit Central Asia.

Hi Hayku, we are back home in Canada now. What a wonderful trip we had! The 5 Stans were amazing. The food was delicious, and the people were so hospitable.
We did face a small issue during our stay in Turkmenistan where our planned visit to a particular site was unexpectedly closed for maintenance. However, our tour manager, Hayku, quickly rearranged our schedule to include an alternative site, ensuring we still got to experience the best of Turkmenistan. This adjustment meant that our trip remained smooth and enjoyable without missing out on any key experiences. Please send our warmest greetings to Nazima, our guide in Tajikistan. She was excellent, sharing so much about the local culture. Thank you, Arara Travel, for such an unforgettable experience.

Our experience with Arara Travel in the Caucasus was so great that we decided to extend our journey to the 5 'Stans. Initially, we were concerned that 19 days might be too long for a trip, especially considering our age, but the timeline was perfect. We chose 4-star hotels, which were not only comfortable but also conveniently located in city centers. The drivers were professional, navigating some challenging roads with ease and avoiding heavy traffic, which greatly added to our comfort. Guides were particularly impressive, especially in Uzbekistan. Some roads I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to our tour manager, Hasmik, for organizing this trip so well. It was an unforgettable experience, and I highly recommend it!

You have been a great help throughout the whole trip ensuring we were comfortable and satisfied.
The itinerary was perfect. We will certainly recommend your company to our friends and family.
