A lot of places but amazing value of money!

For what you pay this is *astonishingly* good value, we were lucky to have an extremely helpful and informative guide Alina who was able to assist our half English and half Russian group wonderfully, easily fluent in both languages! There is a lot to see on this tour, and while some places had just the right amount of time, others (Khor Virap and Symphony of Stones especially) you had to see as much as possible in time, so for those a bit slower than others it could be a challenge. The lunch in the middle was delicious though and I finished the day extremely happy with all the beauty of Armenia I was able to see in time!

Beautiful excursion

The excursion lasts more than 8 hours. Take this into account if you have a flight to catch the same evening. Complete itinerary. The meeting point is the same as for other excursions; it is difficult to know which bus is the right one.

Visited with a mediocre guide.

The place was very beautiful, but the guide was very poor, providing few explanations and lacking enthusiasm. Since he was not accounted for, he left four people stranded until we managed to find him. The driver was fine except for two occasions when he overtook on a curve. On the other hand, the next day we went with the same provider with the guide Yasmin, and she was excellent.

## Worth the Price – Well Organized Tour Experience

Alina was our tour guide, and she is a very knowledgeable and professional person. She explained everything very clearly throughout the tour and shared a lot of interesting information about each place we visited. The tour was a little fast-paced, and the time given to explore places by ourselves was not really enough. However, one reason for this is that this tour covers many more locations compared to other tours, which is great for people who want to see more places in one day. The vehicle was comfortable and not overcrowded, which made the journey pleasant. In my opinion, one improvement could be reducing the number of places slightly and giving visitors a bit more free time to enjoy and explore each location on their own. Overall, this tour is definitely worth the price, and I would recommend it for people of all ages since the sites are easy to visit without much difficulty. Good luck to the whole team 👍 Wish you all the best!

Zero stars, dont recommend

The tour left without us after changing the pickup spot without telling us, and after contacting them and being given the new pickup place I told them exactly how long it would take to get there. We arrived and as we were walking towards the van it left without us. We called the tour group again and they didnt answer. Sent a whatsapp to request a refund, 24 hours later no refund. DO NOT USE THIS GROUP THEY WILL LEAVE YOU BEHIND, TAKE YOUR MONEY, AND NOT CARE.

Must see sights of Armenia

This was a great day out visiting several of the key sights of Armenia. As advertised this was not a guided tour but rather we were driven to each of the sites and given a time to return to the van . The driver was helpful and we visited every stop in the itinerary with no issues at all.
