Beware of Vis-A-Vis Tour

by Zinnie

The Armenian travel agency "Vis-A-Vis Tour" use my private shots here:http://www.visavistour.com/eng/gallery.htmlwithout my authorization. All E-Mails from me are without reply.A company they use stolen shots from a simple German tourist can not be serious.Update: The shots are now removed (after many many mails).

Do not give money to children

by Tobias_Plieninger

Sometimes it is hard to see the poor children and not give them money.But you don't really help them if you give them money.Then you have also a more relaxed trip.If you start to give money they tell each other and you will be followed .. Be friendly by saying no. If you really want to help these people give some money to organisations when you are at home.

Taxi mafia

by Tobias_Plieninger

In many countries the taxi mafia is active,If they see a tourist they see the dollars and try to cheat you.So don't be naiv, Get a feeling for the right price by asking other people.Always ask for the price before you get off.Always look what the driver does if he uses the taxameter.In Hungary they have sometimes a manipulated taxameter.If you drive by day be sure that he doesn't use the night tarif. Pay and try to do better next time Use public transport.

Vernisage market

by snehulak

Watch out for imitation Russian goods being sold as the real thing. All CD's and videos are pirated copies, but usually of pretty good quality.

Q:  Plan to travel next fall in Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan. What is your opinion of renting cars in these countries and driving?

A: I can't speak specifically for renting in the other 2, but renting in Azerbaijan is more hassle than it's worth. Rental cars are expensive, $70+ per day. On top of that,...
