Great !!! I got so many useful information of Yerevan and the history of Armenia in deep detail. I was so impressive.
Really enjoyed the walking tour of Yerevan. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and it was a great way to discover the city and learn a bit about its history and culture. The included lunch was also delicious and a great opportunity to try some local food. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Yerevan — a great introduction to this fascinating city!
I highly recommend this tour. We visited the most important monuments in Yerevan, but also to local places we wouldn’t have seen without her. Our guide (Ioanna) explained us about the history, the people and the food of the country. We also had a degustation of different traditional dishes.
Very good experience, the guide was very willing to show us local activities
Very professional and well organised tour. Our guide had a lot of knowledge about the city and Armenia in general, but at the same time she made a tour fun and easily managed to keep our attention whole 3 hours. Highly recommended.
The tour was amazing! The guide was incredibly friendly, fun, and well-informed. It didn’t feel like a three-hour tour because we were thoroughly entertained. A huge thank you to Agapi for being such a fantastic tour guide!
