Traveler’s Feedback

Hello Tatev, the tour was astonishing. I can definitely say that Armenia is the most underrated country I have ever been to. I have traveled a lot in Western Europe and once when I was in Paris, I met an Armenian woman. It was my first encounter with an Armenian. She was proudly telling me how beautiful and special her country is. She inspired me to go and visit your ancient but yet magical country. Our tour went smoothly from start to finish. Quite strange but I have to say I’m mostly impressed by people, so friendly and hospitable. I enjoyed meeting the locals in the villages, cooking food with them, this made our tour experience more enjoyable.

Hope to be back soon.

Thank you Sati for this trip. On my flight back to Canada, I was thinking how little we know about other parts of the world. This trip was really eye opening, we saw so much and we learned so much about countries we only heard about. Even though I saw some videos about Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan on a TV channel, I really did not know what to expect. They are not very common travel destinations, but that’s what makes them worth visiting. The tour was organized very well and the guides were good. Also, we had a free day in Yerevan and I really wanted to attend a cultural event. Our tour manager Hasmik recommended a beautiful ballet performance in the Opera and Ballet Theatre, and we really enjoyed it. Once again, thank you for this unforgettable trip.

Sincerely,

I was truly concerned about booking this trip last minute, about a week prior to the departure date and I am absolutely impressed how fast the communication went with your company. My tour manager Ruslan also helped me with the airfare booking.  I am so happy I was able to go on this trip and enjoyed it to the fullest. The guides and the drivers were top notch and the monuments we saw were so beautiful, some of them were recognized as a world heritage by UNESCO. Our guide in Azerbaijan was good, though sometimes it was a bit hard to understand her due to her English accent, but we weren’t bothered by that as she spared no effort to answer our same questions multiple times. Sophie, our guide in Georgia, was knowledgeable and caring, we learned a lot about the country and history.

Though we spent a great time in Azerbaijan and Georgia, we have the most special and lovely memories from Armenia tour guided by Raffi, I dare to say one of the best guides we ever had.

Special highlight of the tour was the ride by the longest cable car in the world to Tatev monastery in the south of Armenia. The group members on our tour were all great, we enjoyed spending time together after the day tours.

I really appreciate your work, thanks a lot for this amazing experience.

Best wishes to Arara tours.

We booked a trip to Armenia and Georgia.

Everything went off very well in Armenia especially. The package, the hotels and the guide was excellent (Hasmik)

Georgia we had a great time no doubt, but the hotel did not have enough facilities and guide was not good  as well.

Hi there Tatev, I am sad to be back home. It goes without  saying that this Georgia and Armenia tour package was unforgettable. Arara tours was very professional, they were accommodating and responsive to my requests. The hotels were centrally located and had good service. I absolutely loved the food in both countries. I can not wait to go back and visit other parts of both Armenia and Georgia. If you are interested in ancient history and unique cultures, I would definitely recommend booking this tour.

Sincerely,

We returned home safe and sound. The trip was wonderful. The old churches and monasteries were mesmerizing. My wife and I traveled a lot throughout our life but I can assure you that this trip was one of the best trips that we ever had. The hospitality of the locals, the delicious food and the beautiful nature are some of the things that we will not forget for a long time. Highly recommend your company.

Best Regards,

I am delighted to write this review because I can not keep my emotions to myself. I have never traveled outside of North America and I am so happy I did. It was quite an experience. My family was a bit concerned about my tour to a region that far, but with Arara tours I had a peace of mind the whole time. I must say, as someone who loves to take photos, I have taken so many of them during my trip. The hotels were really good and in the city centers, I especially enjoyed the view from Brim hotel. The tour guides were really knowledgeable and good at their work, especially in Georgia and Armenia, and they kindly answered all my questions. They were proud to show their countries and were very enthusiastic while telling the history. Thank you Hasmik for the great recommendations for restaurants and for joining me for dinner. 

Sincerely,

Hello Emma,  Our flights went very well and we returned very tired. The trip was quite special. We have traveled a lot,  but I don’t think I have ever taken so many photos. So many interesting things we saw and places we visited: Ancient monasteries and relics and manuscripts!   

The days were long but worth every minute. 

The Hotel Sandali was very nice, especially the roof terrace. And our guide in Armenia was terrific. Altogether a great trip. 

I am wishing for peace for Armenia now,

Hello Sati, I loved the tour of Azerbaijan Georgia and Armenia. My favourite country is Armenia. I loved the mountains and countryside. Guide Raffi was full of fun and very knowledgeable. The Armenian people are kind, honest and gentle souls. I bought some beautiful silver jewelry for presents for my family.

So really no big criticism at all. But I will say that I did not like the 3 star hotel in Tel Avi. It was too far away from town, restaurants etc. 

A picnic lunch in the countryside would be nice. I would have liked a stop at one of the small town World War 2 memorials to pay tribute to our allies in WW2.

Once again Sati, thank you so much for organizing a wonderful holiday for me.

With love

Good morning Emma, Just to say I had a wonderful time, thank you for all your work, you are a credit to Araratours, Regards 

Hi Ruslan, I am finally home and I have to say even though it was a tiring tour, it was a very comprehensive one. Within just 30 days, we saw so much and I was impressed by the beauty of all three countries. Special thanks to our tour guide in Armenia who arranged an extra visit for us to the Symphony of Stones in Garni Gorge even though it was not included in the tour.

Best Regards,
