This tour provided a good overview of the Caucasus region. David was very professional and responded very promptly to requests/questions. Aram, guide from Armenia, was very knowledgeable and hospitable. Together with the driver, they made the visit to Armenia memorable. Nika, guide from Georgia, was very helpful and he would go out of his way to ensure that the visit went smoothly. Overall, a great visit. Thank you very much, tour operator!
This was the tour operator's first time doing this tour on a commercial basis; so I'll say that. We saw a lot in 12 days, but they could have trimmed a few things down. I felt rushed because of this. The tour wasn't well organized. The starting and ending hotels were changed multiple times for example. The tour guides gave us indirect answers to questions regarding the itinerary. It might be a cultural thing, but this seemed the most prevalent in Armenia. Our bus drivers were sketchy too. I was honestly scared when one almost backed off a cliff.
Fascinating area of the world I would warmly recommend the Caucasus as a trip for people interested in history, culture, beauty and food. We were especially impressed with Georgia, its natural sites, hospitality and culture. Tbilisi was charming, the visit to the wine resort was the cherry on the cake and the trip to the Kazbegi mountain, where we lucked out on an amazing sunny day, was exhilarating. We also tremendously enjoyed Baku, mostly as a centre for modern architecture, which was one of our main interests. Food was wonderful throughout and we were offered even more dinners and lunches than initially included in the itinerary. Our guides were very knowledgeable and personable.
