A fantastic journey to Georgia and Armenia to discover
Caucasian lands, people, nature, history and culture! I thank a lot my manager Mary who made it comfortable, safe and easy. Mary is a helpful, friendly, warm-hearted person who communicates professionally and does her best to feel her tourists a real hospitality of the Georgian and Armenian people. I appreciate a lot as well our guides and drivers - Temo, Sophie and Valery in Georgia and Raffi and Vagram in Armenia - they were intelligent, joyful, experienced and kind to all members of our group and we spent unforgettable moments together. We visited lots of interesting historical and cultural places in different regions of the countries, enjoyed breathtaking views of Caucasian nature, got acquainted with people and their customs and traditions, tasted best wine and delicious food and even danced national dances))
iI really enjoyed my journey and international company and would recommend this tour to anyone

Sati, we just got back home tired after the long flights and layovers. But it was worth after having this amazing time in your region. None of my friends have traveled to the Caucasus but all of them are already very interested in visiting the 3 countries after I showed our pictures and shared some experience. Thanks for the perfect organisation of the trip. We liked our guides, the drivers were also good and careful on roads, which made us feel comfortable and safe. We had a long drive from Georgia to Armenia but it was tolerable as we had stops at great sites, the Haghartin monastery complex, Dilijan and lake Sevan, the latter I rank one of my top favorite sites in the Caucasus. Though it was good that we avoided the long drive from Baku to Tbilisi because the land border was closed. I liked the flight transfer option more. So I would say it was even better the land border did not open. You may offer this option to the other groups as well later who do not like long drives. We bought lots of gifts for our friends and family members including the Armenian brandy Ararat, you know, they want to order more now. Wish you all the best Sati and Arara team. My friends will contact you directly for their Caucasus trip in 2023.

I did a last minute booking for the Azerbaijan Georgia and Armenia group trip. But you guys wete truly flexible and managed to make all my arrangements properly. Thanks for arranging the flight from Baku to Tbilisi as the land border remained closed by our tour dates. The flight and transfers were very well organized and our drivers and guides met us on time. Raffi in Armenia and Tazo in Georgia were excellent guides, very knowledgeable and good at their job. They answered all my questions and recommended very good restaurants for lunch and dinner. Overall I had a fantastic trip. Thank you Tatev for all your hard work.

We booked a trip to the Caucasus with Arara 3 years ago and finally could do it this year. I would say this trip was worth waiting for so long. We had fantastic time in all the three countries. Initially when we were finally ready to travel this year, I came across the news that the land border between Azerbaijan and Georgia was closed by which I got upset assuming I won't be able to travel again. But Sati offered using the flight option instead, which took only an hour. She arranged everything for us and took greay care of us.The trip was arranged exactly the way we planned initially and we visited all the sites in the itinerary. Sati was very responsive to all our questions and needs. Want to thank you again for the amazing journey we have been looking forward to so long. The countries and especially Armenia are truly hidden gem and definitely worth visiting not even once. The guides in all the countries were very friendly, caring and knowledgeable.

Thank you for the perfect organisation of the Caucasus trip, Maria! We enjoyed the tour very much. The transfer from Baku to Tbilisi by flight was a wonderful option and very comfortable. Our group thought that it's even a more preferable option than traveling by land. So you can use it when the land border is open. Our guides were magnificent, all very passionate about their country. Our drivers were professional and we felt safe. The only thing that needs improvement - roads, in some regions they were quite bumpy. Unfortunately we did not have much time to explore Yerevan more after the tour as our flight out was leaving very early, but we loved this city. Definitely going to be back some day with more friends.

Very satisfied with Arara. My Armenia adventure included hikes through beautiful landscapes, monasteries, fortresses, villages, mountains and waterfalls. The tour offered a great view of many different regions while enabling our group to experience delicious foods and great hospitality. Our guide, Vardan, was not only knowledgeable, but a fun companion who made sure that we had everything we needed while providing great insights into the culture and places that we explored. Thanks Arara for a great experience!

Hi Maria, yes thank you, this really is an amazing place with incredible history and kindness in people, absolutely loved it; not the cable car though so I gave that one a miss! I’ll definitely get all my friends, work colleagues to come!

We had a group tour to the Caucasus in 21 days 2 months ago. The trip went really well. Everything was organized on a high level. Of course there were some disappointments, for example the bad weather in Azerbaijan, as it was raining, but we fully enjoyed that part as well.
We liked our guide in Georgia, though he was a young man, but he had a big amount of knowledge about his country. I liked our hotel in Tbilisi , which was booked on our tour manager’s recommendation. We stayed in the Tiflis hotel. The staff welcomed us so warmly.
Actually the road from Georgia and Armenia was a little bit tiring, but luckily we had knowledgeable guides so that they made our long road interesting. En route we explored Haghartsin, Goshavank , Old complex in dilijan. Lake Sevan is insanely beautiful in the morning, when everyone is sleeping and it’s so calm and peaceful.
My sister liked the Etchmiadzin cathedral. We learnt that it has been under construction for several years, but we still could feel the energy. It was magnificent.
I do really recommend traveling to the Caucasus especially with this tour, as it’s an ideal duration to cover the three countries.
