Hi Skunkman. I just saw your comments about FLO Tours for 2019. I hope someone finally got back to you. We booked the Caucasus tour for September 2018 and every time I emailed to ask questions I received almost immediate responses. I am working with Nayda and she has been patient and helpful.
Good Luck. Let me know how it worked out for you.

Joy H,
If you are still interested in FLO tours Caucuses information please email me as we returned a few weeks ago and can answer your questions.
It is a very interesting part of the world and we covered a great distance. There was much walking up mountains and steps.
The people friendly and food amazing. We had beautiful sunny weather during the entire trip with cool evenings.
I'll be happy to give you specific info in an email.
Amy

We enjoyed the Caucasus tremendously. We had 3 different guides and drivers as we crossed borders and each were excellent and one superb. We were a group of 6 and had a Mercedes mini van in each country. The border crossing between Azerbaijan and Georgia was quite difficult as you leave your guide and proceed on your own. Tour guides are not permitted to walk you to the other side. There was a man offering to take our luggage or a fee but not knowing what was ahead no one accepted his offer
Going through security and customs was easy but there is quite a long, slightly uphill walk with your luggage and carry-on in the hot sun before reaching the Georgia border. We were not advised about this so we rolled and/or dragged our luggage ourselves. A fellow tour member helped us along but it was difficult. That was our only problem as the tour was well done and trouble free
All three countries were safe to explore on your own
Food was fresh and beautifully presented and served
The weather was sunny everyday and warm, nights were a bit cooler
Please advise if you have other questions, I'll be happy to answer!

Hi Skunkman
FLOtours did obtain the Azerbaijan visa $50 per person but we were refunded $20pp because the visa was $30.
The border crossing Azerbaijan to Georgia was quite far and slightly up hill in hot sun. I would estimate a good 1/2 mile rolling luggage and a carry-on perched on my suitcase over the handle. My friend had a large suitcase with wheels which she pulled and a rolling carry-on. One of our tour mates came back to help her after he reached the end. It really was difficult and we are seasoned, well traveled people with close to 100 countries each under our belts, so to speak.
There were men outside the passport control building offering to carry luggage but not having been advised by FLO as to what to expect we declined.
Ask your tour director for specific information about the procedure for that crossing. Feel free to contact me if you have additional questions. Amyr2@aol.com
