Day Trips

Nune excellently arranged our multi days hiking tour in Geghama mountains (east of Yeravan, including Mt. Azhdahak, 3,597m), afterwards our very nice accommodation at Lake Sevan and all the related... read more travelling. Nune welcomed us already at the Yerevan airport with a charming gift and was always available for our questions and needs during our two weeks trip through Armenia . Our mountain guide Tigran, the cook Norik and driver Aram were not only reliable and professional guides but also interesting conversational partners. We will definitely come back. Cascade Travel is highly recommended.

Amazing Armenia and Georgia tour - highly recommended! - We had a wonderful tour to Armenia and Georgia with Cascade. Nune was communicative and helpful throughout, came to welcome us when we arrived and gave us fantastic tips about... read more what to do, where to eat and drink etc. in our spare time in Yerevan. We were lucky that it was just us two on the tour which made it a great value private tour. Everything ran on time and so smoothly, and we were looked after completely from the moment we arrived.

Both of our local guides showed real care for us and drove us confidently in comfortable cars through difficult roads! I normally get car sick but didn’t with either of them.

In Armenia, our guide Arman went above and beyond in terms of the information and knowledge he shared with us. Had we gone to these sites alone we wouldn’t have realised the intricate details and meaning behind Armenia’s fantastic history. He shared lots of information about Armenia’s culture, and explained the nuances and subtext really well - something you couldn’t easily get from a book.

In Georgia, Salome made sure we had a good time and showed us where we could get the best of each food dish. She even booked our evening dinners for us after we selected places from her recommendations!

The accommodation was clean, very comfortable and within easy walking distance of lots of amenities. The tour doesn’t include much time seeing the cities, so it’s worth being prepared (or planning extra time) to support these.

We fell in love with both of these countries and highly recommend doing the tour with Cascade!

Our trip to Armenia was a lifetime trip. First of all, I want to mention Cascade Travel communication, which is just great. Nune addresses every single question and answers in... read more every detail. We have read about what is “Armenian hospitality” but never could expect, that in the villages people can just invite us to their houses, and allow us to pick up fresh fruits from the trees. We felt so welcomed and safe here. Armenia really amazed us with its rich culture and architecture. Garni impressed us with unique pagan architecture, while Tatev amazed us with its gorgeous views overlooking the canyon. If you visit Tatev, the ride-on cable car is a must. If you come to Armenia, do yourself a favor and taste Armenian wine. We also had fun activities like cheese tasting on a small family cheese farm and a food masterclass. Overall this trip was worth every penny!

Thanks guys! - I am pleasantly surprised with Armenia and Georgia and the overall organization of the tour. I joined Armenia Georgia 13 day June tour as a solo traveler. These small countries... read more have actually so much to offer starting from rich history and ending with beautiful nature. We started the tour from the capital Yerevan. This city is so cozy and alive at the same time and the prices here are affordable. We also enjoyed our small walk through the neighborhood of Kond, which is the oldest preserved part of Yerevan. Then we moved to the regions where we got to see some mind-blowing views. Every ride to a destination was like a separate experience. The views of mountainous landscapes managed to amaze us all the time. Be prepared to see lots of churches and monasteries. Tatev Monastery is amazing, it is located on the edge of the canyon and the view is insane. The tour continued to Georgia. We started from Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia. Here we also visited the old part of the city. Narrow streets, and small cafes, just as we like. We got lucky with the weather and got to see Mount Kazbek, which is just stunning. And also cannot forget about the Prometheus Cave which is truly out of this world. The stalactites hanging all over the cave - unbelievable. Definitely one of the most beautiful caves I ever visited. And I have to mention our tour guides two different Davits in Armenia and Georgia who did a great job and made this trip an amazing experience for us. "Solo traveler"

A great tour of Armenia with family! - I recently visited Armenia and Georgia with my family. We had a great time during this short 8-day trip, which is definitely too little for Armenia and Georgia and we... read more will plan another longer trip. I’d like to point out the food in both countries and the service level in restaurants. We saw Garni, Geghard, Yerevan, Lake Sevan Dilijan in Armenia and Tbilisi, Kazbegi (this is the highlight), Mtskheta, and Georgia’s wine region Kakheti. We are pleased with the drivers and guides, border passing was without problems. Overall organization was perfect, I recommend this company.

Armenia Cultural trip - Our recent trip to Armenia was an incredible cultural experience. We visited a lot of historical sites such as Garni, Geghard, Tatev, and other beautiful ancient churches and monasteries. It... read more was very interesting to visit each of them. The highlight of our trip were fun activities such as wine and cheese tasting. We really enjoyed these experiences as everything was delicious and we really felt the warm hospitality of Armenian people. Along the whole journey we enjoyed breathtaking views of mountainous landscapes and valleys. Our tour guide Tigran provided insights into Armenia's rich history. Overall the trip was really well organized and I would definitely recommend Cascade Travel, they’re quick in responses, with very clear communication and supportive.

Great Armenian Georgia trip: Culture, Comfort, and Stunning Views - We recently are back home from our tour of Armenia and Georgia organized by Cascade Travel, expertly curated by Nune. From the moment we arrived, we felt safe and were... read more greeted warmly. All our requirements were well met in the itinerary. We did horse riding, cooked with a local family, and visited several wineries both in Armenia and Georgia. The hotel accommodations exceeded our expectations, offering comfort and a good breakfast. Kazbegi Rooms is an absolute highlight with a breathtaking view of the mount. The newly opened Shiraz Plaza was excellent with a spa. Overall the trip exceeded our expectations, this region is a must-visit, highly recommended.

Fantastic hiking and cultural tour - A unique experience, mixing culture and hiking.
It was a mix of 4 fantastic hikes, that changed due to weather conditions, mixed with some cultural understanding in and around Yerevan.

My 10-day hiking adventure in Armenia was absolutely fantastic! I got to explore the ancient temple Garni, hike through stunning Angel’s Canyon, and visit a couple of monasteries in the... read more mountains. The views of Lake Sevan and the surrounding mountains are simply breathtaking. Plus, our small group visited a family cheese farm and sampled locally-made cheeses. One of the highlights was a hike up to Aragats Mountain, the highest in Armenia. We were lucky enough to have clear weather and a view of Mount Ararat. On another day, I strolled through a lush forest to reach the amazing Lastiver Waterfalls. This tour had it all - nature, adventure, and a real taste of Armenia's culture. I recommend Armenia for hiking as the c country has spectacular landscapes. The company accommodates solo travelers in groups, which is very comfortable.

A wonderful tour of Armenia! - Nune and team were wonderful. They developed a customized 6 day tour for us. Each day, we visited another area. Little surprises were added to the itinerary... read more which were delightful. We really felt as if we had seen and experienced Armenia.
