Find out why Caucasus Quest is the best way to see Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan.

This 15-day trip divided equally among the three countries of the Southern Caucasus — Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Armenia — was meticulously planned, carefully communicated before our departure, and professionally executed. Each of our three guides was a native of the country, very knowledgeable, and fluent in English, while two of them were among the best guides we’ve ever had. The hotels were good, the included meals were regional and ample (and several unforgettable), and the itineraries full but flexible. What made the tour terrific, though, was the region: stunning landscapes, unique cultures embedded in deep, mountain backed wineries in Azerbaijan and Georgia) and shared histories, but simmering with new and ancient animosities. Opportunities to buy silk goods on ancient silk road sites and, of course, a handmade rug. Learned and saw so much.

I recently returned from an unforgettable journey to Azerbaijan with Carmen and Caucasus Quest, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, they handled every detail flawlessly—making the entire experience seamless and stress-free.

What truly set this trip apart were the unique cultural opportunities they curated. Whether it was exploring hidden corners of Baku, visiting remote villages, or engaging with local artisans, every moment felt authentic and enriching. The meals were consistently delicious, showcasing the best of Azerbaijani cuisine, and the guides were phenomenal—knowledgeable, warm, and passionate about sharing their country’s history and traditions.

This wasn’t just a vacation—it was a deeply immersive adventure. I’m already looking forward to the chance to travel with them again and discover even more of this beautiful country. Carmen and the team at Caucasus Quest made it an amazing journey I’ll never forget.

Highly recommend Caucasus Quest! They handled all our travel details with care and expertise. We enjoyed touring old Tbilisi, gained hands-on experience in Georgian wine-making in Kvareli, hiked and rode horseback in the Pankisi Valley, and, of course, enjoyed the warmth of Georgian hospitality in various beautiful guesthouses. The natural beauty of Georgia is off the charts, and the food is incredible! Caucus Quest made the trip completely stress-free. Already plotting how I can return and experience more of this incredibly historic region.

In late August this year my wife, Terri, and I plus 2 other couples visited the Republic of Georgia. This small country is one of the most scenic and charming places I’ve ever visited… We were escorted in a multi-person van by a driver who seemed to know the entire country like the back of his hand. Our tour guide was a delightful young lady who spoke very good English. Her knowledge of all the places we visited, and there were a lot, plus the history of this ancient nation was beyond impressive. Both the driver and guide were extremely personable, attentive and punctual throughout the entire time we were there…
The food and drink in every location and setting was outstanding. One of my boyhood friends who has traveled the world extensively…ranks this as the best he’s ever experienced. Andrew Slate is the one who organized the trip for us. I would give him a 5 star rating and recommend his services to anyone.

My son and I wanted to plan a private trip to Azerbaijan with my mother-in-law (age 90) where we could customize an itinerary and transportation. There were very few resources on the web, but I happened to come upon Caucasus Quest and sent an inquiry. Andrew replied within a day and was ready to work with us to set up a great trip. He clearly had an excellent network of services throughout the Caucasus, had great suggestions for itineraries-hotels-special events, and was very flexible in working with us. We had an amazing trip in July for a week traveling thru Azerbaijan and Georgia. I would highly recommend his services for any travel big or small in the area.

My tour was perfect. Tailor made experience according to my interests, budget and timing. The local guides are professional and kind. Ara in Yerevan is really knowledgeable of the city, it’s history and architecture. The driver was punctual and helpful. In Georgia, Shavleg was great help, he provided me with interesting facts about the country and helpful tips. Andrew Slate has a great followup and is kind and patient. He created an unforgivable experience in the Caucasus for me!

Andrew and our guides, Davit in Georgia and Anna in Armenia did a wonderful job in planning and organizing our two weeks in these amazing Caucasus nations. Our desire to stay in authentic hotels and savor local cultures was definitely met. Tours of the capitals and visits to religious sites framed by mountain vistas provided us with an understanding and appreciation for the histories, religions and cultural uniqueness of this challenging geopolitical crossroads. We always felt welcomed. Thanks Caucasus Quest.
