Customer reviews & ratings
Probably similar to most group traveling experiences, some fellow travelers were great and some were challenging. The guides were generally excellent. Vard (Armenia) was lovely, with alot of knowledge of her home country and very patient with the many questions asked of her (by some of the challenging travelers). The trip provided an opportunity to see some interesting sights, but maybe a few less time on busses/vans may have been ideal. There was a bit more time spent in the bus than I would have preferred. Also, feel like the first day could have been executed better. Our guide/CEO had some type of emergency and moved the time of the welcome meeting up to a time before many people even checked into the hotel. If anything, should have scheduled a time for the group to meet on their own, etc.
