The itinerary is well paced, covering the beautiful forests of Dilijan, the breathtaking views of Lake Sevan and the vibrant streets of Yerevan, making for an unforgettable cross border adventure. What truly made this experience exceptional, though, was our guide, Levani, and our driver, Waymon. Levani was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging and genuinely passionate about sharing the history and culture of both Georgia and Armenia. He kept the journey entertaining from start to finish, answered every question with enthusiasm, and made everyone feel welcome. A huge thank you also goes to Vako, whose driving was outstanding. The roads, border crossing, and long hours could have been tiring, but he got us there and back safely, smoothly, and comfortably. We always felt in good hands, which made it easy to relax and enjoy the scenery. The combination of stunning destinations, seamless organisation and the outstanding service from Levani and Vako made this one of the highlights of my trip. If you’re considering this tour, don’t hesitate you’ll be in excellent hands. Highly recommended!
It is a day trip that covers everything in Armenia. It is tiring but definitely worth it. They stop twice for lunch and dinner. The places are very good with ample choices. Did the tour with 2 elementary school kids, they managed it well.
