I recently participated in the Gastronomic – Gourmet Tour to Armenia and Georgia, and it exceeded my expectations in so many ways. This tour is a perfect blend of cultural immersion and culinary exploration, giving you a taste of both countries' rich histories through their vibrant food scenes. What could have been better is if we had a free day in each country for independent and leisurely exploration.
Thank you.

Just back from an incredible 17-day tour of Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan with Arara, and my husband and I couldn’t be happier. Our guides and drivers across the three countries were absolutely outstanding, knowledgeable, attentive, and always prioritizing our preferences. They adapted the tour seamlessly to our evolving needs, making the journey truly personalized. Hasmik, our tour manager, was exceptional in coordinating the entire trip. Her prompt and friendly responses to our questions and her ability to accommodate our special requests made the planning process smooth and enjoyable. This was our first visit to the South Caucasus, and while 17 days gave us a fantastic overview, it's clear that these remarkable countries deserve even more time to explore. We’ll definitely be returning for a deeper dive into the rich history and stunning landscapes. Thank you, Arara, and especially Hasmik, for an unforgettable experience!"

The tour was a great adventure with plenty of spectacular sites like the historic monasteries and the vibrant city of Baku. The hiking trails were challenging but rewarding. We faced a hiccup with transportation between destinations, which caused a delay and a bit of frustration. However, our tour manager was exceptional in handling the situation. She managed to rearrange our schedule and kept us informed throughout, turning a potential disaster into a minor inconvenience. Her professionalism and problem-solving skills were top-notch. Despite this hiccup, the overall experience was incredible, and I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore the South Caucasus.

Amazing trip overall, but it was quite intense with many long days. The South Caucasus region is breathtakingly beautiful, with highlights like the Goshavank monastery and Abudelauri Lakes being particularly memorable. Baku's old city and seaside boulevard offered a fantastic contrast to the mountain scenery. However, we had an issue with our accommodations on the first few nights; the rooms weren't as expected and we faced some booking confusion. Thankfully, Hayku, our tour manager, was incredible. She quickly resolved the issue, ensuring we were comfortable and satisfied. Her dedication and personal touch truly made the trip enjoyable. Thanks to her, we ended up having a wonderful experience. Would definitely recommend this tour for the stunning landscapes and rich cultural experiences.

I just returned from the “Exquisite Caucasus” trip and it was exceptional! The tour provided a perfect blend of Armenia’s ancient churches, Georgia’s beautiful vineyards, and Azerbaijan’s unique landscapes. Ani, our tour manager, was fantastic and every detail was handled seamlessly. Highlights for me were the world’s longest cable car ride and the mystical mud volcanoes. The local guides, especially Ani, were friendly and informative. This trip offered an unforgettable experience in a fascinating region. I would absolutely recommend it!

Our 16-day “Exquisite Caucasus” tour was a memorable adventure for our family of four. From Yerevan to Baku, every moment was thoughtfully planned by Arara Tours and our wonderful travel manager, Sati. Armenia’s ancient wonders, such as the Khor Virap monastery and the stunning views from Noravank, were awe-inspiring. Our guide, Narek, was passionate and made the ancient history come alive. Georgia’s diverse landscapes were equally impressive. The charming wine town of Sighnaghi and the scenic drive through Gudauri to Trinity Church were highlights. We also enjoyed exploring the caves and ancient monasteries in the region. Tbilisi, with its vibrant culture and beautiful architecture, was a personal favorite. In Azerbaijan, the mix of historical and modern sights was fascinating. We were amazed by the Gobustan petroglyphs. Every aspect of the trip was handled with care, from our comfortable accommodations to the friendly guides. Sati’s attention to detail and her willingness to accommodate our requests made the experience seamless and enjoyable. This tour was an extraordinary journey through the Caucasus, offering a perfect blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. It was an enriching experience for our family, and we couldn’t have asked for a better travel adventure!

I came back from the tour and the tour was great. My 8-day trip with Uncover Armenia was a remarkable experience. The tour included a perfect mix of historical sites. Taking the longest cable car ride to Tatev Monastery was a personal highlight. The tour was well-organized, and our guide Rafi was very knowledgeable. However, I felt that the itinerary could have allowed for a bit more free time in Yerevan. Nevertheless, the tour manager Hasmik was attentive and open to feedback, which made the experience feel personalized. I’d recommend this tour for those looking to immerse themselves in Armenia’s rich history and stunning landscapes.

Uncover Armenia’s tour was an incredible journey through a country full of history and beauty. The visit to the 9th-century monasteries Sevanavank and Hayravank provided deep insights into Armenia’s past. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly, and the tour manager was particularly helpful in accommodating our specific needs. Vardan and Tazo are very knowledgeable and kindfull. The only downside was that some of the days were quite packed, which made the trip feel a bit rushed at times. Despite this, the overall experience was fantastic, and I would certainly recommend this tour for anyone interested in exploring Armenia’s rich culture and stunning scenery.

Our trip to Armenia was mostly wonderful. The tour covered all the major highlights. However, we encountered a minor issue when the air conditioner had problems in the hotel room. Thankfully, our tour manager Hayku was incredibly efficient and resolved the problem quickly. This kind of service really stood out and made our experience smooth despite the hiccup. Overall, the tour was well-organized, and the scenic views were stunning. I would definitely recommend this tour for its overall quality and the professionalism of the tour team.
