    Overall nice but tour Mgr was bit lacking in giving details about day to day events. He was hesitant and depended on tour guides about the schedule.

    Excellent trip with a wonderful fun group. Great tour leader Gorgi. Good local guides and our driver from Armenia, Arun is a total gem. Would be good if the city tour in Baku be done at night during summer in future as it offers a different perspective and better for the group.

    Nice itinerary with some opportunities for individual exploring. I'd recommend to stay a day early in Yerevan and later in Baku to really explore those cities. Penguin before, and the guide during were excellent. Very knowledgeable guides in all countries, and they were very nice. Maybe a bit too longwinded at times that cut short available time for photos or exploring sites at various places. Hotels were excellent.

    It was a great tour. Armenia and Georgia are hidden gems. Dramatic history, magnificent religious monuments, rich culture, amazing nature, nice food and... great wine. It is so diverse and there are so many sites of interest that time is not enough. Your eyes and heart open there.

What truly set this tour apart were the guide's expertise and adaptability, enriching our journey with unexpected delights and personalized touches.
