I loved every minute of my time in these incredible countries. The history, the scenery, food and wine was amazing. The Explore tour leaders in both Armenia (Roza) and Georgia (Alex) were superb, so knowledgeable and passionate about their countries and ensured everything worked smoothly. I loved the mix of historical sites, foodie experiences and walking tours, whether in towns or in the countryside. The itinerary is busy, as the trip notes said, so well prepared and really felt it was great value for money. I would highly recommend this trip to others and clients (I am a travel agent). Could easily go back to Georgia just for the food !

The tour was a beautiful pilgrimage to different monasteries, very high intensity, we enjoyed Armenian, music, culture and food. Visit to see of Holy Etchmiadzin and Holy Badarak was exceptional. Lake Sevan, views of Majestic mouth Ararat will never be forgotten. Delicious dinners, hands on cooking classes in Georgia and Armenia, made it a great tour of both learning and connection. Most evenings concluded with traditional song or dance and the group seemed to love that. Visit to the vineyards and wine tasting in Georgia was also special. It was a wonderful opportunity to visit and see contrasts in the culture.

Alex the tour leader and country guide for Georgia is excellent and shares his wide knowledge of the Caucasus region in an easily understandable manner. Whilst both the country guides for Azerbaijan and Armenia also very good. The overall itinerary is very varied and covers lots' of different aspects of all three countries. I particularly enjoyed the hike up to the Gergeti Trinity Church with all the snow capped high peaks of the Caucasus mountains all around. The trip is fairly fast paced and covers a lot of ground, so you need to understand that it's a great introduction or taster trip to these three fascinating countries and if you want a more in depth experience then you'd need to go back and spend more time there.
