  My wife and I had an incredible ten-day trip to Armenia, with the help of Mariam from The Caucasus Tours. Our guide gave us an authentic, non-touristy, flexible, safe, fun, and educational visit around Armenia. We visited Yerevan, Armenia's small towns, its amazing historical churches, its spas, and its incredible landscapes. Nour (the guide) was extremely knowledgeable about all things Armenia and he was able to offer us a unique look at his beloved country and its diverse history. The guide was so personable, had excellent command of English, and was more than willing to answer any and all questions as we traveled along. Our nightly accommodations and the restaurants were also fantastic. We are already planning another trip to Armenia and want to go with him again.

  Our recent and first trip to Armenia was absolute perfection! We all agree that it was amazing, and the best trip each of us has ever experienced. The hotel arranged for us was perfect. It was clean, comfortable and welcoming. The rooftop restaurant gave us a great start to each day. Not only was the food delicious, but the view of Ararat was spectacular. We also very much enjoyed the musicians both in the mornings and evenings. The hospitality of the staff was so special. The proximity to Republic Square and other areas of Yerevan that we explored was very convenient. We also think that the location was helpful with pickup and drop off. The day excursions were each so amazing and well planned. We couldn't possibly have had the same amazing experience without the Caucasus Tour. They made wonderful suggestions to adjust their typical "Classic Tour" to personalize our length of stay and interests. We appreciated the fact that our guide made adjustments to the schedule to accommodate the best experience for each location, due to weather and other factors. Of course, all of the meaningful and beautiful regions, monuments, monasteries and attractions were significant for us, but the amazing visits with such special and welcoming people that we would never have had the privilege to find and experience on our own were the most valuable part of our trip. Travel to all of the regions was very comfortable for us. The car was the perfect size for our group. Each of the meals we experienced during our guided tours were unforgettable! The variety and quality were outstanding, and we were never hungry!! Perhaps the best part of our trip was having such a great person as our guide that we all consider to be a dear friend. His knowledge and ability to explain the history and importance of the areas of the planned tour was both astonishing and very entertaining. Beyond that, we felt that he effortlessly came to know and understand each of us, and would naturally adjust the conversation to answer questions and provide insight that was personalized for us. We cannot imagine a more perfect guide for us. He not only took care of everything for us and guided us through such an amazing experience while we were with him, but his recommendations and insight that he offered us during our time together allowed us to make the most of our free time in Yerevan.

  My wife and I dealt directly with Caucasus Tours. From the start they catered to every request and need we had. The tour itself was better than expected and our tour guide would have to be the best we have ever had on any trip. The local knowledge and expertise demenstrated by Cascasus tours in providing a tour that suited us and providing a tour guide that continually made the trip one to remember can not be put in words. This was an experience like no other we had before and we highly recommend Caucaus tours to anyone going to the region. This was the best part of our whole trip and without doubt one of the best tours we have had. Thank you to everyone involved. S & G from Australia

  My wife and I spent 11 days on a private tour of Armenia with Mariam and our driver Karo. We enjoy private tours because it allows us the ability to customize our trips, change on the fly, if need be, and ride in comfortable vehicles. From the get-go when I contacted Mariam, the communication was excellent and timely despite a 9-hour time difference. We enjoy history, cultural experiences, and the natural beauty a place has to offer. We worked together on an itinerary and trip during late April/early May before the weather turned exceedingly hot. The whole experience exceeded our expectations. We felt like premium clients and were treated extraordinarily well by Mariam. Besides having a great personality that is fun and caring, Mariam is a walking knowledge vault not only providing history but sharing cultural incites of Armenia. She is also an avid hiker guide and wine guide, so we got the complete package and then some. We wanted to meet other Armenians during our travels, and she did not disappoint. Her connections are vast, and we met so many delightful people, ate wonderful foods, drank excellent wine, learned so much about Armenia, and did a bit of getting close to nature. We can’t say enough except that she created a memory that will stay with us forever. Be aware that her services are in demand so plan accordingly. There is only one of Mariam and we were thrilled that she was our private guide who we can now call our friend. If you are planning a trip to Armenia, you should definitely contact her.
