It was a fantastic travel: the leader (Marichka) was very experienced, the itinerary was perfect, the activities well-balanced, and the group superb! As well, I really appreciated the “Premium” category…😊
Manon - Montreal, PQ
The Caucuses trip was a fabulous journey of discovery to an area we knew very little about. Frank and I gained insight to their history, culture and current conflicts. Also, we thoroughly enjoyed the food and wine.
The trip was well organized and our tour leader Manya and local guides were excellent. All the accommodation was good, but the travelling van in Armenia was a little uncomfortable due to no leg room.
Overall it was a fantastic trip to a less visited part of the world.
