Armenia
Situated between Europe and Asia in the Caucasus Mountains, landlocked Armenia is known for its ancient culture, including many Christian pilgrimage sites. (Its cultural heritage dates back three millennia and it became the first official Christian nation in 301 AD.) Medieval monasteries, mountain hiking, Armenian cuisine and cafes, and the lively capital city of Yerevan – which sits in the shadow of Mt. Ararat across the Turkish border – are among the highlights of this historic country.

Georgia and Armenia Uncovered
Yes. For those who collect countries and those interested in the History and culture. Do need to be in good shape, for doing a lot of climbing on most all of the daily excursions.

GlobalJourneys Company Reviews

GlobalJourneys
Best Travel Agency By Far!!
We have used Global Journeys a few times since 2013 to book our tours, accommodation, and flights; each and every time the level of service has been marvellous. The team at Global Journeys are very knowledgeable, reliable and customer focused. Global Journeys offer very competitive pricing rates. In view of the welcome return to a new normal after a few years in the doldrums for the travel industry due to COVID-19 there is rightfully/thankfully a surge back to booking holidays and tours again. We would highly encourage folks looking to book holidays/tours to at least consider contacting Global Journeys (https://www.globaljourneys.com). They help take the hassle and stress out of planning for your memory making journeys. Life is short, travel as often as you can. Afterall, travel is one of the best forms of education and self-discovery!

Best of the Caucasus

Travel The Unknown
We had a fantastic time
We had a fantastic time on our Best of the Caucasus tour. We loved eating with the families in Georgia and visiting the Molovan family in Armenia, definitely highlights of the trip. Our Georgian guide in particular was the best you could possibly have, giving a true insight into the country. He should be recommended for an award!
