These three small countries are not small to be visited. They are great and amazing, rich with historical sites and picturesque panoramas. With Shabby as our tour leaders our journey became full with joy and memorable. Thank you Shabby, thank you tour operator.
You get what you pay for and ExPat does a nice job in packing in lots. The group was large, but certainly congenial and fun; Shabby, our guide was wonderful with a great sense of humor and a joy to be with. The local guides were extremely informed and helpful, particularly Lena in Georgia. The bus in Azerbaijan had trouble with AC and it was HOT. The Armenian bus was tops in comfort and AC; all drivers were amazing. Georgia was a challenging drive, but the driver handled the difficulties with great skills. Occasionally the timing was uncomfortable...i.e. lunch at about 4pm, but given the distances and things to see, perhaps it was impossible to arrange a meal differently. The home hosted meals were very interesting. I felt that the trip was a wonderful overview of the countries. There was certainly a huge amount of food. The hotels were clean and comfortable. In general, I like smaller group travel, but I would certainly consider ExPat again.
Two very beautiful countries A wonderful and very interesting trip to see two very beautiful countries. Both Georgia and Armenia have long fascinating histories and have built their monasteries and churches in spectacular locations.
