Traveler’s Feedback

This trip exceeded my expectations – amazing landscapes, nature, ancient monasteries and fortresses, the 3 countries must be in every traveler’s top list. Thanks Zara for everything. The only thing I would have changed is the overnight in the guesthouse in Roshka, I would have loved a camp overnight on this day too, let that be with less amenities.

The planning of the tour was perfect, which is crucial when travelling to a new and unfamiliar place. This tour allowed me to focus on enjoying the sights and experiences without worrying about logistics. I read some news that it wasn’t safe in the region, what I saw is I could enjoy late night strolls around the cities, towns and villages.Caucasus is one of the safest spots I have ever been to with the most kind-hearted and hospitable people.

Dear Tatev, Hope all well for you. All good for us thank you. I wanted to write a message to you. The trip was really great and we all enjoyed the discovery of Armenia. We spent a fabulous week and thank you for the preparation. All visite were fabulous and it was very intéressant to see the different regions. Our guide Armine was really good and she always helped us for the translations with people. It was really nice to have her as a guide all along the week. The driver Karen was also really nice and very good driver. Everything was perfect and will recommand Arara Tour to my friends. I really hope you will have more French people visiting Armenia. In regards to hotels it was very good. We prefered the Cascade Hotel rather than the Central Inn as it looks more sovietic. The restaurants and lunches were all excellent and people very nice. We really liked their hospitality. Yerevan Tavern and Mayrig restaurant were really nice. We have also discovered Zeituna, we had diner outside and it was very nice and good food. We are now back to France will a lot of good memories. Thank you again for having organised this tour for us. Will post a comment soon on your website. Wishing you all the best for the future. Kind regards, Alexandra

Review on Tripadvisor

Thank you for the tour organization; it was a success. We are not perfectly experienced hikers, but this was an amazing experience to find the hidden gems of these 2 wonderful countries. However beautifu Tbilisi and Erevan are, we particularly enjoyed our walk in the nature. Our tour itinerary was very well-planned with just a few overnights in the capitals, and mainly in regions. We had knowledgeable guides who knew the trails very well, we really felt safe. We also enjoyed our walk with the mountain guide Irakli to the Abudeluri lake (I am still having hard times to spell or pronounce the sites names). Definitely going to return sometime later with other interested friends to hike in Svaneti as well.

Thanks to Arara for this marvelous experience and for offering the best itinerary possible, it perfectly met our expectations. I enjoyed every aspect of the program, modern buildings in Baku, the mix of modern and old in Georgia and ancient Armenia. In the beginning we wanted to avoid many monasteries, but once there, we could feel the whole spirituality of the 1st Christian nation. This was truly unexpected.

 Thank you Arev for the tour you arranged for us! We had a fantastic experience. I enjoyed nature and food very much. Our guide Ara made us fall in love with the place. He made such interesting remarks on culture and even some local weird traditions, which was truly appreciated. I will send him my greetings too. The masterclasses were interesting, and I learned so much about the history I was never aware of. Overall, big thanks, and best wishes to you.

Already back home, my kudos to the company for the amazing program, the small yet spiritually stimulating Armenia was an interesting experience. I enjoyed the time spent walking around the meadows and the old monastery complexes, and also big thanks to the guide for the illuminating history discourses.

Overall, Caucasus was nice. I liked the hotels you chose for me. I had some wifi troubles, but it was fixed later. It may be problematic to travel on your own, since most of the locals in regions don’t speak English. Thanks to our guide we could do the shopping in the regions. Food in Georgia was simply delicious, though heavy, not for the ones who try to keep in shape, haha. The guides were highly professional indeed.

Dear Arara, I just want to say a big thank you for your effort in making the trip for my family. We enjoyed it so much. The hotel was lovely, and comfortable. We really enjoyed the view of the city from the balcony. The trip to Dilijan was a treat for me, the nature was wonderful there. Thanks a lot, and I hope we can visit again in the future. My family and friends are already curious.

A big thanks to the company and especially our guide for making the tour so enjoyable. Armenia was a hidden gem for me, I loved the cuisine. The region was full of colors and hospitable people. Much thanks to the guide for helping us with everything. Cheers.

Thanks Arev, our flight back home was good though tiring with the 9 hrs layover. 

The tour in general was fantastic. I had a nice time in the Caucasus and was very much impressed by the modernized city centers, small towns and the authenticity in the villages we visited. We had a blast on our welcome dinner, bestest wine and food in the region. Our drivers were highly professional, guides were knowledgeable and took good care of us. Special thanks to our guide Ani in Armenia for making our journey simply memorable. Best wishes.
