1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
The most memorable parts of the vacation were the food, the lead guide who always went that extra mile and the people I met along the way, learning about the countries was phenomenal.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Travel light. Put a head torch in your daily back pack in Armenia as some of the sites were very dark.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes. Tourism seemed to put back into the economy more than it took out. However this is a lot to do with the size of the tour group.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
An amazing, fabulous adventure that made me appreciate how little I knew about the region and its people, country, culture and food.Helga Burry review 19 May 2025

Make sure you have a raincoat or umbrella. Also you need clothes for changeable weather - hot, warm, cold.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
I thought having lunch with a local families was an excellent part of the trip.However, I think during this vacation, there was far too much food. Lunch should be simple. I found 2 main meals a day far too much.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
I had a wonderful time. Traveling with only 7 others was fantastic!! The tour leaders were excellent. Gabi was such a special guide. We all appreciated her so much. She was the best tour leader I have ever had.Linda Bates review 21 May 2024

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
We started walking through the fortified town of Sighnaghi in Georgia and were sidetracked by the sound of music coming from the main square. It turned out that it was a national vacation, and a series of youth groups in splendid costumes were doing traditional dances on a stage in the square, cheered on by friends waving the national flag from the balcony of the city hall and about 1000 relatives with cell phone cameras. We didn't see much else of Sighnaghi, but we didn't mind!2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
It's an action-packed 2 weeks, but you'll see everything from grim Soviet-era relics to incredibly beautiful ancient monasteries on remote mountaintops. Be flexible, wear good walking shoes, and come prepared for all sorts of weather.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
All of the above, but especially the first: We patronized local guesthouses, restaurants, and other businesses, and I found it far more authentic than going from one lookalike hotel to another. One environmental impact I wish we could have reduced was the use of bottled water, but in that part of the world it's an unfortunate necessity.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
I felt that the vacation was well organized, our trip leader (Dario) was a kind person as well as an expert, and all in all I had a great time. This was my second trip with our vacation provider, and I just booked a third for next year!Holiday Reviews
