Crossing the Caucasus: An Adventure from Yerevan to Tbilisi

Excellent tour. Although I have not seen all of Armenia (of course) the tour appears to include some of the most beautiful and interesting places in the country. Arto was a great guide, knowing how much information to offer and when to offer it. He was also very flexible, allowing me to alter the tour a bit to see an additional site and to also skip others. Communication was also good. I highly recommend this tour, especially for those who want to also see Tbilisi after traveling through Armenia.

Fantastic tour! Arto was a great guide--he was incredibly knowledgeable, never rushed us, and added additional stops to ensure we were seeing as much as possible in a day. I highly recommend this trip.

This was a very good (although exhausting) one way tour from Tbilisi to Yerevan. Arto and his driver Aro were highly professional throughout and gave us a good introduction to Armenia. I would recommend starting this tour as early in the day as possible, since the border crossing between Georgia and Armenia can be quite time-consuming.

We enjoyed our day with Arto! He was very knowledgeable about the area of Armenia that we visited and his English was great. He had lots of insights regarding the past and current history and culture of Armenia. I would highly recommend visiting the areas we visited and highly recommend Arto as your tour guide!

This was a drive from Yerevan to Tbilisi with some stops was in between. Arto led us on this trip, and he was super pleasant, super flexible and very knowledgeable. We did some off-the-fly customization just before we left from Yerevan, because we already had covered Sevan Lake and Garni the previous day. Instead, Arto showed us around Dilijan, a quaint little town. The Haghpat and Sanahin monastery were worth a visit and Arto threw in a MIG (as in the Russian warplane) museum and Akhthala as a bonus. We felt at home and comfortable, with Arto (as well as with Arro who was very good at the wheel). The lunch was also relaxed sitting directly across one of the monasteries.. The van was comfy & carried our four suitcases++ with ease. Definitely worth if Yerevan to Tbilisi (or even reverse) is on your plan. More fun than flying, The border crossing was also extremely quick & seamless.

Great day with Arto. He is very knowledgeable about Armenia and it's history. He is very friendly and really worked hard to make our day special. The monastaries were beautiful and Northern Armenia has spectacular scenery.
