    Strongly recommend this tour as it was well organised and I really liked the fact that we did not have to move Hotels every day My main suggestion is that the tour should be a bit longer and include more places in Georgia like Batumi Kutaisi etc as these are lovely areas Also more time in Azerbaijan as again visiting Candy Mtn and Sheki are worthwhile this would make it beyond excellent our guide Georgi was very good local guides Anna in Armenia and Natali in Georgia were very good local guide in Azerbaijan was average and hard to understand Warning avoid travelling in July it was so hot and the mini buses a/c not always working well there needs to be a bit more transparency re local payment 200Euro as it is not fully explained how it works etc
