LUXURY HOLIDAYS & TOURS ARMENIA

SENSATION OF PEACE

Sit on a mountain overlooking the Ararat Valley at sunset and take a sip of your Armenian brandy. It’s not Cognac, but it has a smooth character that only time can instil. Rather like the country itself.

Besides its rather wonderful Ararat brandy, Armenian has a spiritual side that perhaps you wouldn’t expect until you’ve visited. And it manifests itself in various ways.

One of our consultants explained it as a sensation of peace and will happily describe to you the moment when you realise that not only are you walking at the relaxed pace of the locals, but your thinking has also become attuned to the slower, more considered, Armenian way of life.

Which is excellent news if you’re the sort of person who believes holidays are about relaxing, appreciating your surroundings and understanding the places you’re visiting.

Places like the Hellenistic temple at Garni, built within a 3rd century BC fortress. Or the nearby Geghard Monastery – a cathedral literally hewn from a solid rock cliff face. We also suggest spending time absorbing the spiritual atmosphere of the ancient monasteries at Haghpat and Sanahin.

Situated virtually next door to each other, they are two of Armenia’s most famed UNESCO World Heritage Sites and have been constructed and extended over many ages – beginning in the 10th century. Today they represent the glory, intellectual activity and cultural heritage of Armenia.

“EXCELLENT SAFARI IN REMOTE ZAMBIA”

We had a wonderful safari experience in South Luangwa, Zambia this September. Despite a few unexpected setbacks behind the scenes, everything ran seamlessly for us. Our driver and guide were outstanding, and the standard of accommodation was truly first class.

“INDIA AT ITS MOST INCREDIBLE”
Unbelievably brilliant from start to finish. The Ultimate Travel Company gave us complete flexibility while tailoring the trip to our personal preferences. Communication was excellent throughout, and the in-country team in India was super-efficient at every stage. The quality of the experience was exceptional – and the value for money, remarkable. From expert naturalists to thrilling wildlife encounters (tigers, leopards, 140 species of birds), awe-inspiring temples, the Taj Mahal, scenic walks and warm, welcoming people – not to mention the fantastic curry – it was a truly superb holiday. “Ultimate” really is “The Ultimate Travel Company”!

“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”
This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.
