Excellent trip with Sergey who is a fantastic, friendly, attentive and flexible driver. I especially enjoyed having time to myself to explore.
Very enjoyable tour. Levon tells with passion about each location and was able to answer my questions about the landmarks and basic things about life in Armenia and her history.
The church at Saghmosavank and the canyon in the nature surrounding it, is stunning. The ruins of the Amberd fortress with the church nearby are also worth a visit - not to be missed.
Our Tour Guide, Sergey Asatryan.. thank you for showing us the beauty of Armenia and thank you for our safe journey
Excellent tour! Very good driver and I am happy that I went with Sergey. He has a comfortable car, speaks good English and will tell you some facts along the way. The stops were impressive. I basically took this tour mainly to visit Amberd and I highly recommend this way to go to the fortress.
