do you have any tours in October? Starting around 4th of October?

Unfortunately, we do not run this group tour in October. Would you be interested in May departure?

what does independent travel mean do we have guides all the way?

Yes, this is a guided tour. Could you please let know in which context you have found independent travel description?

What does "serious" mean?

The level is moderate/average. There are five hikes, the longest of which is 16 km (5-6 hours). It will be a small group tour. The departure is guaranteed.

Is it possible to have tour dates for 2025?

We added three departures at 2025: 16 May, 8 August, 5 September. Could you please tell me which departure you would prefer?

What happens if I sign up for the tour and the number of sign-ups do not meet your minimum?

As of now, this tour is not guaranteed, 2 more travellers should sign up and the departure will be guaranteed. We will close this departure at the end of the month if we do not have enough travelers.

For the three countries, what and how to get visas for AUSTRALIAN and VIETNAMESE?

When you say "and be able to carry their own luggage for up to 1 km across borders." So we must have backpacks, not suitcases?

Everything was beautifully organized with excellent, comfortable hotels, all including breakfast; a number of lunches and a few special dinners too, a range of cultural, historical, geological and archeological places to visit and the occasional day off to relax and do things on our own. We really appreciated that! Excellent and varied local food. The itinerary was well thought out. Although we could have stayed longer and seen more, this 2 week tour hit the highlights.Show more

I would warmly recommend the Caucases and specifically Advantour as a company to take you on an exploration of the area. I would also ask them if they're actually open to learn about cultures and history, or pursuing check marks on their list of countries. It's a fascinating area worthy of all our attention. For my husband and myself, Advantour was an excellent option, as they combined beautiful sites with learning about history and current events, with excellent food and mostly excellent hotels and a visible passion for sharing the area with the visitors.Show more
