Great Tour, Even Greater Guide
Our excursion to Tsaghkadzor and Lake Sevan was unforgettable thanks to our guide, Arsen. He is knowledgeable, funny, and made the trip both educational and enjoyable. Arsen shared history and local stories in a way that kept everyone engaged. He also showed us the best spots for views and photos. Highly recommended tour and especially with Arsen as your guide!

It was a good experience but you have to consider the weather condition because in this time of year is so cold.
I was pleased about the vibe and energy that Mr. Saeed (tour leader) made for us through the journey. He is the best in his place. The BBQ was delicious.
