Well organized trip with upmarket hotel stays for the most part and new Mercedes vans for transport ( a previous criticism ). Excellent guide . A lot of church visits which may be a bit much for some, but they are in stunning locations. Cave monastries most interesting parts of trip. The 3 capital cities are much nicer than expected and worth the trip just to see. Stalin museum guide was surprisingly objective.

Embarking on a kaleidoscopic odyssey through Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Armenia unveiled a symphony of cultural marvels, delectable cuisines, and wines aged in history. Amidst breathtaking landscapes, the journey unfolded, weaving geopolitics into a spellbinding narrative of discovery led by our remarkable guide Yulia and gregarious driver Giorgi.

I was very interested to visit this region. The trip gave me deep insight into it. Now I am more passionate than ever.

Well designed trip that gives a good understanding of and introduction to these three fascinating countries. Great accommodation, some in wonderful heritage properties, and excellent and varied food, particularly Katchapuri (cheesy bread). Highlight was a visit to an IDP camp in Georgia.

An incredible and interesting part of the world to experience, with the rich distinct history, wonderful and welcoming people, incredible landscape, and great food….and wine! Our leader, Manya, was exceptional and very professional. Highly recommend this trip!

The Intrepid premium tour was so easy! The hotels were top notch, gratuities were covered, and the schedule was relaxed. The food alone was worth the trip and so many meals were included. Our guide Anton made it especially entertaining and kept everyone on schedule. I suggest when you book this tour go in early October and ask for Anton as your guide.

Great trip to visit the Caucuses, full of surprises and a lovely part of the world, friendly people and great history to learn about

The trip to Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia that I just completed in October 2023 was fabulous! The history, food and wine make these countries a delight to experience. But what made the trip truly memorable was the unique experiences we had making cloisonné jewelry in Georgia at an IDP town, learning to make stain glass windows in Azerbaijan and the many family lunches where we got learn from a local about their lives. Pavel, our guide was excellent, knowledgeable and patient with all our requests. I would highly recommend this Intrepid Premium trip.

It’s a wonderful trip through all three countries with well balanced activities and pace, great comfortable accommodation and transport and best of all, our excellent leader! I’ve learned so much about the region and our leader and local guides were able to give us great insights and help with lots of interesting and interactive experiences with the locals too. Love it!

These countries are very diverse, culturally, with a stunning landscape and amazing food. The premium tour included bunch of great local delicacies involved with local customs that widens ones perspective to the world.

First trip experience for me with Intrepid would recommend it as the groups are small and personal. Give it a try

Good itinerary, outstanding Tour Leader. Stingy on hotels and meals, especially for a Premium tour.

If anyone is considering taking a trip to this part of the world I throughly recommend this small group Intrepid tour. Fantastic tour leader and knowledgeable guides with an understanding of the different cultures in these different countries. We finished with a lot better understanding of all countries visited.

Tour was amazing. Yes, there were some long days but no more than was expected having read the itinerary. We had a lot of ground to cover and a lot to see. Food was fantastic, especially in Georgia. A great opportunity to learn more about this part of the world. Our tour leader, Manya, was amazing and rates with the best tour leaders we have ever had.

A beautiful and interesting part of the world. The itinerary had a good balance of activities, and long vs short travel days. The food and wine was a highlight! Exceptional tour leader facilitated it all beautifully and it was lovely not having to worry about tipping. Overall great value given all the inclusions.

A well designed and varied tour through three countries sharing similar pasts but with separate rich and varied history and heritage. The tour was very well designed with a varied array of sights and experiences in the itinerary and ample time for the individual traveller to make their own exploration.

I found this trip to be one of the best. Very informative with a very full itinerary that covered the three countries in depth in the 15days . So much to see and so much for me to learn about these three remarkably interesting countries

Thoroughly enjoyed a fabulous trip to the less-touristed, politically-complex Caucasus region. Can’t say enough wonderful things about this region - from its kind and generous people, to its breathtaking natural beauty, delicious food and wine, stunning architecture and rich history - what an experience! Our trip leader, Iuliia Khalezova, was incredible and provided a thoughtfully-curated, safe, secure, and seamlessly-organized trip for us. Our Georgian driver, Giorgy, was a delight. Can’t wait to travel again with Iuliia and Intrepid soon :) Book this trip of a lifetime - you won’t regret it!

The Caucuses were a bit of a hidden gem for me. Fantastic landscapes, food and culture to learn about. Best of all no massive crowds of people. Georgia was my favorite, I would highly recommend putting it on your bucket list.

A wonderful trip to 3 undervisited countries, each with very distinct cultures. We had a great group and our guide Ksenia made the trip run very smoothly.

The three capitals - Baku, Tbilisi and Yerevan are worth the trip. Very cosmopolitan and European, but with their own vipe and very different from each other. The food is amazing also.
