It was great best experience of exploring Armenia so far… Especially want to express the gratitude toward the tour guide Meri she’s been excellent.
Exceptional tour, all valuable spots, on schedule on time, smoothly organized. Our guide Mari is very sweet and knowledgeable. Explained as much about Armania history and religion as possible. The tour is 6 hours in total, not too long not too short. Leave travellers enough time go back to Yerevan to enjoy the city.
Highly recommend this tour! Meri was very knowledgeable and communicated well with our group.
The tour was expected, everything was great! The guide is beautiful, the driver is careful! I recommend it unequivocally!
I had a great experience with Igor as our guide. He was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, and made the whole experience enjoyable. He explained everything clearly and was always happy to help. I really appreciated his kindness and professionalism. Highly recommended!
