Overall I can only give my highest marks for a super tour. Administration great, guides in Armenia and Azerbaijan were great, but Ana in Georgia could still work a little bit on her overall knowledgecof the country.
If I may, I would suggest something about the lunches: I know that the guides would like the tourists to experience the local foods, but with the translation of the menues, etc, it took everytime more than an hour in our already packed day. Do not get me wrong: we loved every detail they showed us, but we could perhaps saved time by getting a take away somewhere??? This is just a suggestion... everything was so well thought through and planned.

An experience i have waited for in great anticipation! Arara Tours make me live my dream... Armenia with Raffi....such a wonderfull experience to see Armenia through his eyes! Georgia with Ana...an exiting time with a young and exciting guide with great insight! Azerbaijan...could not have asked more than for somebody as thoughtful and efficient as Inna!!
My tour to the Caucasus, organised by Tatev and her team, was a dream come true!!!
Thank you all for making every moment count ....with every team in every country doing their best for us!
I will spread the word to my friends, and tour buddies in South Africa....
God's richest blessings on everybody that fulfilled my dream tour!!
Thanks again

The trip was fabulous overall with only a few issues:
1. Our Guide in Georgia (Anna) had fair English but did not understand questions asked of her since her answers did not always seem appropriate. Additionally she offered almost no history or background information as we traveled. Her time management was also lacking, as we arrived at destinations increasingly behind schedule. All of this made our trip to Georgia quite frustrating.
2. Having our travel companions in four hotels in Yerevan caused our pick up time and drop off to exceed an hour each morning and again each afternoon wasting considerable time, as we were the first picked up and the last dropped off each day.
On the other hand our guides in Armenia (Raffi) and Azerbaijan (Ena) were superb, excellent English, time management, knowledge of the area and its history, and leadership. We have been on many similar trips and these two were among the best any where!! The three drivers were also very skilled and kind. The hotels were very nice also.

We are back in the USA as of yesterday. Thank you for the good care that you have taken to stay in touch with us from the very beginning of our tour inquiries. I truly appreciate your extra efforts to purchase the tickets for the overnight train from Baku to Tbilisi. That worked great and we actually slept very well as we traveled
We are still “on the road” with a visit to our son and his family before flying home on Wednesday. All in all, our experience was very good. Our group of 12 from four different continents was joyful!!!! All three countries we visited are are rich in culture and history. WE LEARNED SO VERY MUCH!!!!
Again, THANK YOU!!!!! For taking good care of us.

The tour was well planned and organized and the itinerary covered a variety of interesting sites that provided a good introduction to a fascinating part of the world. The hotels were good, and the breakfast buffets from very good to excellent. I highly recommend this tour and this agency.

Our story wth Arara tours is a good one from start to finish. Sati being our charming tour manager . All transactions went smoothly. Our fellow travellers were great we made lots of new friends. Our tour guides amazing. The sites of Armenia Georgia and Azerbaijan stupendous. fresh delious food and wine . We saw alot in 12days and the pace was hard going at times. the guides lead us well up steps down mountains into wine cellars out of monasteries churches and museums . Advised us on how to respect the culture where to eat, change money , and where the toilets were. Very important. To one and all involved in making our holiday very special thanks from your Irish friends .

Thank you and your team for making our trip easy and enjoyable. All the three countries are wonderful and unique. The people were very nice and helpful. Our special thanks to the guide and driver team in each country; Taleigh and Samaya in Azerbaijan,
Sophia and George in Georgia and Armen and Chinar in Armenia. Especially Sophia and George, both were very sensitive to our needs and interests and felt like traveling with friends.
I thank you for your effort and being prompt to my questions, concerns and very professional. Appreciate it very much.
Hope to come back again, there is lot more to do and see.

I cannot say enough good things about Arara Tour. My daughter and I went on the Uncover Armenia tour and it exceeded expectations. Our tour guide, Avet, was knowledgeable and very accommodating. He was the best. Rima, the tour manager always answered my questions timely and fully. The accommodations, the food, and the tour itself was wonderful. Drivers to and from the airport were courteous and timely.
I highly recommend Arara Tour for its professionalism and tour organization.
