Yerevan Tours in Summer

This was a great “taster” insight into two countries that I hadn’t really considered visiting before and the tour gave me just enough to have a great time whilst leaving so much more for a return visit.

It was very good and I wouldn't have left any of it out...but really needed two or three more days to explore the big cities better and get a break from sitting on the bus.

Being across two countries, we had two leaders for our tour. Both were excellent, albeit in different ways. Both exhibited a fund of knowledge about their respective nations and both added greatly to the enjoyment of our travels.

The guides were great The team were a good mix and really loved this travel team Unique and different destinations Accommodation was very good overall Loved the 1st place we stayed in geoorgia but not enough time there to enjoy all facilities

This was another thoroughly enjoyable Explore trip to a fascinating part of the world in terms of its rich history and present-day geopolitical relevance. The group we were travelling with bonded very quickly and were great company throughout the trip. Both tour leaders, Armene (Armenia) and Alex (Georgia) were excellent, communicated their knowledge and love of their respective countries with infectious enthusiasm and were genuinely lovely people. Both drivers also did a great job on sometimes less than perfect roads. There were multiple highlights but worth special mention would be both capital cities, Yerevan and Tblisi, the basalt rock formations along the Garni River Gorge, the spine-tingling medieval choral music at Geghard Monastery, a performance of La Traviata at Yerevan Opera House that wildly exceeded expectations, the amazing 12th-C cave settlement remains at Vardzia, hiking in the spectacular Kazbegi Mountains, plus all the amazing regional food and drink we sampled throughout the trip. Georgia's reputation as a bit of a foodie heaven is entirely justified. I would not hesitate to recommend this trip!

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.
