Everything you need to know before your Caucasus expedition.
F.A.Q
Answers to what travellers ask most before a Caucasus expedition.
F.01Is it really safe to travel in Armenia?
Yes. Armenia is among the safest travel destinations on earth — in the global top 8 on the crime index. We add satellite communication, certified guides and first-aid structures.
F.02Do I need a visa?
EU citizens can enter Armenia visa-free for tourism (typically up to 90–180 days). We'll send current details with your booking.
F.03How do I get there?
Every expedition starts and ends in Yerevan. Most guests fly via Vienna, Paris or Dubai to Zvartnots airport (EVN), where we pick you up. Your connection and transfer are arranged together with your booking.
F.04How does booking work?
Send us an inquiry with your dates, group and comfort tier. We reply personally with a route proposal and a quote. A deposit of 20–30 %, depending on the tour, secures your dates, and the balance is due no later than 30 days before departure. Depending on how booked up a date is, and on special tours, other arrangements are possible too — paying cash in Yerevan, for instance.
F.05What about cancellation or rebooking?
We keep rebooking as flexible as possible — the earlier you tell us, the easier it is. The exact cancellation and rebooking terms are set out in your quote, so you have full clarity before you pay the deposit.
F.06Do I need travel insurance?
No, it isn't required — the choice is yours. We strongly recommend international health and trip-cancellation insurance, ideally including mountain-rescue and repatriation cover. For the remote highlands, cover for vehicle or helicopter evacuation is also worth having. We're happy to recommend providers.
F.07Which languages do your guides speak?
Our guides speak English; German, French and other languages can be arranged on request.
