Traveler’s Feedback

Hi Sati,

There has been a change in my plans. I am going to fly back to New York when I get to Yerevan. By the way, the tour has been excellent, and the guides have been wonderful. I plan to recommend Arara to my friends. I will also leave Arara an excellent review.

Thank you,

Jeff Anderson

Morning Florena,

Thank you! The tour was amazing, we really enjoyed getting to see different parts of the country and the guest houses were amazing. One of the highlights were the breakfasts, the food and the hosts were so friendly and welcoming. Tigran was an amazing guide, he was really knowledgeable and knew so much about the places that we were going. His restaurant recommendations were amazing. We appreciate all the help you guys provided in getting us around and giving us the best experience!

Hi Ani

The last part of my trip in Armenia was my favourite partly due to the excellence of our guide but also because of the varied scenery and also the fascination of the history. I really enjoyed the opera and the puppet show as well as a church service and a second visit to the Natural History Museum and I think guides should point such Things, out. It would have been nice in Baku and Tbilisi to have had at least an afternoon off I thought the days were a bit full of seeing another monastery, church or mosque. I did a 15 day tour of the the three Baltic republics with G adventures which I thought had a less frenetic pace which l Iiked, the Arava lunch was great and a typical regional meal for the group together would have been good. Personally I thought our three star accommodation was good it would have been better for all the guests to be in the same class. All the guides were good except the first guide was a bit underprepared. Overall the trip was excellent . I don’t see a need for a guide in a museum or art gallery in Yerevan as the signage s excellent and I would prefer to see these on my own with more lack of guide time but this may just be me. My favourite day was my last day. The tour of the carpet museum was great however.

Thanks Ian Arthur

We are two single females in their 60s, who recently travelled through Georgia and Armenia with Arara Tours in April 2025 and took their nine-day Classic Cultural Private Tour. Our experience was outstanding from start to finish and every day we were overwhelmed by so much we had seen and explored. Florena, our dedicated tour manager, was incredibly reliable and maintained excellent communication throughout. She was quick to respond to any questions before and during the trip and regularly checked in to ensure everything was going smoothly. Both of our guides-Temo in Georgia and Vardan in Armenia-were exceptional. Their deep knowledge, warm personalities, and genuine passion for their countries truly brought the history and culture to life. The hotels chosen were very well located and of a high standard. Both offered generous buffet breakfasts, and the hotel in Yerevan even had a spa, which was a lovely bonus! Plus the staff were exceptionally friendly and willing to meet any of our specific needs. When bad weather made it impossible to visit Kazbegi in Georgia, which was on our itinerary, a great alternative plan was quickly arranged, which we really appreciated. All vehicles used were comfortable, the drivers were careful and punctual, and all logistics including the cross-border handover and airport transfers-were handled seamlessly. Both Georgia and Armenia are fascinating countries, and the rich history, stunning sights, and cultural insights we experienced have left us with lasting memories. Arara Tours truly went above and beyond, and this trip surpassed all our expectations. We highly recommended Arara Tours for anyone looking to explore the Caucasus with expert guidance and personalized care.

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.

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!

This trip was one of the most exciting experiences I had so far! Georgia and Armenia are beautiful countries with amazing people. Arara Tour Operator provided great service, and everything was well organized. The local people in both countries were very kind and welcoming.I hope to visit Georgia and Armenia again in future. Thank you for a wonderful trip.

The 31 Days Silk Road and Caucasus tour was an absolutely incredible journey, long enough to immerse yourself in stunning landscapes of these regions. Over the course of a month, we traveled through multiple countries, experiencing a variety of terrains, from the vast deserts of Central Asia to the majestic mountains of the Caucasus. 

The hotels selected for the tour were thoughtfully chosen. Each accommodation was comfortable, clean, and ideally located to give us easy access to the highlights of each city.

Although we did face a few minor issues our tour manager and the team were quick to address the situation and fix the issues properly. Their quick response showed their commitment to making our experience as smooth as possible.

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.
