Traveler’s Feedback

Hi Ani, the flight is great and we are at home. The trip was awesome. Attractions were great, and the weather was nice. n. I will recommend your company to my friends and colleagues, and I already did! Also special thanks to our awesome guide, Anna.  She was very friendly and I enjoyed her stories and knowledge I got from her.

I joined the Highlights of Armenia and Georgia tour and had an amazing experience from start to finish. I was traveling solo but felt completely comfortable, as everything was well organized by Arara and Hasmik. Our Georgian guide was very. I especially enjoyed the local food and wine, the tasting at Khareba winery was a highlight! I would definitely recommend Arara to anyone looking to explore Armenia and Georgia in a thoughtful and memorable way.

Dear Haku,

This was a very special tour. I’ve done many group trips before, but this one felt more personal and unique. The guides were excellent, always ready to help, and told us interesting stories about each place. Raffi in Armenia and Iann in Georgia are special. We visited monasteries, mountains, small towns, and met local families. I loved tasting homemade food and learning about traditions. Some roads are dumpy and it's a heavy way, but the drivers are so professional. I came back home with great memories and new friends.

Thank you for such a wonderful time,

Hi Hasmik,

I didn’t know much about Armenia and Georgia before this trip, but now I can truly say I’ve fallen in love with both countries! The tour was an amazing mix of culture, history, nature, and local experiences. We visited so many beautiful places, some were well-known landmarks, while others not very.

One of the highlights for me was the wine tasting in the Khareba winery, the atmosphere inside the wine tunnel was unique, and the wines were fantastic. I also really enjoyed all the traditional food we tried along the way, everything was fresh and full of flavor. Each day on the tour was different and exciting. We moved between lively cities and peaceful villages. Thank you for organizing such a wonderful and memorable trip! Without your passion and fast replies, the tour will never be so successful. Thanks.

This tour was amazing! It’s more than a classic trip, we saw famous sights and also many hidden places. The nature was beautiful, the food and wine were so tasty, and the staff were very kind. A great way to discover Armenia and Georgia.

We are finally back home after the long flights. I am glad to choose Arara for organizing our tour. We have really incredible memories. The trip was really great and we all enjoyed the discovery of Armenia and Georgia due to our tour coordinator and guides.

Hello Hayku,

I hope all is well with you. The trip to the 5 Stans was really great! As it was my second booking with Arara after the Caucasus trip I had no doubt you will take care of us and arrange a wonderful experience.

I am really grateful for your efforts. The trip met our expectations and we are super happy we visited this part of the world. I wish we could spend more time in Khiva, it was a very lovely town.

The dinner at Darvaza crater and the sunset were fantastic, we loved this part of the tour.

Theresa and I loved Samarkand. The guides were all good, though I would highlight Serdar in Turkmenistan and Maria in Kyrgyzstan. They were super caring and knowledgeable. Our fellow travelers were all great, we spent a fantastic time with them. I like that your groups are small, it makes us feel comfortable and makes the communication between the participants and guides easy.

Thank you again for the wonderful trip.

Best wishes to you and Arara

Hi Hayku,

Just wanted to say thanks for an amazing trip! Every detail was thought through — from the airport pickups to the packed lunches on long drive days. The hotels you chose for us were great.

The trip was intense but balanced, and I loved the mix of cultural immersion and nature.

As we are physically fit, the trip perfectly matched our age.

Looking forward to joining one of your Caucasus tours next year :)

Kind regards,
Susan Oliver

Dear Inga and Arara Team,

We’re back from our 19-day adventure and already missing it! The variety of experiences – from city tours in Tashkent and Ashgabat to the natural beauty of Issyk Kul and Darvaza – was exactly what we were looking for.

We did not experience any inconvenience through the tour, it was well planned and the guides were brilliant! There was a small issue with our hotel room in Samarkand (it wasn’t ready when we arrived), but our coordinator Ani sorted it out within 15 minutes and even arranged complimentary tea for us while we waited. The local guide Bobur in Bukhara was especially fantastic – he brought history to life.

Thanks for making our trip smooth and memorable!

All the best,
Jan and Marlies

Hi Florena,

Just wanted to send a big thank you for this fantastic tour through Central Asia. Everything was so well-organized — the hotels, transportation, and especially the local guides.
Special thanks to Murat in Kyrgyzstan and Zarina in Uzbekistan – they were both super knowledgeable and fun to be around. We had a little hiccup at the Kyrgyzstan-Kazakhstan border (a delay due to traffic), but your team handled it quickly, and our driver made sure we stayed on schedule without feeling rushed.

Tajikistan and the Seven Lakes were a personal favorite — just stunning. I’ll be recommending this tour to my fellow travelers for sure. Thanks again!

Warm wishes,
Hannah P.

Hi there,

Just a quick note to say thank you! This was my first time in Central Asia, and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction. Traveling through Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan was in my bucket list long time ago. The cultural heritage, food, and people were unforgettable. I’ll definitely recommend your tours to my friends.

Best,
Elena D.

Dear Ani,

Thank you for checking in with me. I am safely back to London. I enjoyed the 5 Stans tour very much. The itinerary was perfectly paced, even though some roads in Turkmenistan were quite bumpy, I still enjoyed the sites and views. The accommodations exceeded my expectations, I did not feel they were 3* hotel, more looked like a 4*. Some really were, so thank you for booking those hotels for us. I especially enjoyed our time in Kyrgyzstan and the natural landscapes there. I will be in touch for my adventure already to the Caucasus region and maybe Mongolia with you next year!

Kind regards,
Thomas Joyce
