Off the beaten trek wonders
I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. My first tour with Expat. Our Guide, Diarmaid, was very nice and patient. I am a plus size lady and this slowed me down a bit. Lots of walking and loads of steps. Lots of religious buildings but all different and exciting to explore. I enjoyed the different cultures and their food. Particularly enjoyed mixing with the locals over lunch or dinner. Was lucky to join a very nice group.

Amazing tour with Expat Explore that exceeded expectations!
Highlights; - Our guide Diarmaid was excellent making the tour both entertaining and smooth through seamlessly managing such a diverse group and the logistics across 3 different countries. - Great value for money with a very comprehensive itinerary ensuring great variety of attractions and an immersion into the countries culture + history. - We found the trip well paced because we stayed in most hotels more than one night so we didn't have to pack every morning. A few hotels were a real treat, especially the first Hotel in Georgia (golf resort) and the Marriot in Armenia. - The included lunches and dinners were really great as it made the tour far more sociable providing good opportunity to interact with the rest of the group as removing some of the admin of sourcing your own meal options. - Think there is room for more variety in Armenia. We visited many churches/monasteries and believe that it would be better to visit a select top three to visit and instead arrive in Yerevan a day
