The trip to Sevanavanck was one of the highlights of my journey. Already on the way to the monastery there is a beautiful view of Lake Sevan. Sevanavanck is a place of strength, beauty and inspiration. I highly recommend anyone who loves nature, history and silence. I want to go back there again and again.
Спасибо за ваш отзыв. Рады, что вы выбрали нас, и будем рады видеть вас снова в Армении.
We arrived to Armenia for a little time and had no clue what to do. Our relatives who live here recommended us happy holidays agency to book a short trip with them. We wanted to have a private tour instead of a big group. So it matched all our requirements. We can’t say how happy we were with their organisational skills. Everything was on time and we have been brought back to our hotel. Unfortunately we didn’t have had enough time to explore more this time, but definitely we will stay longer next time and hire them again. Thank you once again!
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you chose us and hope to see you again in Armenia.
Had a great time everything was at the top level and I will definitely book other tours with this company! Service all at 100

I recently did a tour to Garni and Geghard with Happy Holidays and am absolutely thrilled! Everything was perfect from the organization to the execution. Our driver was on time, the vehicle clean and comfortable. The tour guide was extremely competent, fluent and could tell many interesting stories and historical details about the sights. Garni Temple was impressive – the only surviving Hellenistic temple complex in Armenia, with a breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains. Afterwards we went to the monastery of Geghard, which was half carved into the rock and radiates a very special, spiritual atmosphere. The acoustics in the church are fascinating, especially when traditional chants ring out. I would like to emphasize the warm hospitality: Along the way, we had the opportunity to taste Armenian lavash bread with a family in the village – a great, authentic experience. Overall, it was a perfectly organized excursion with a great mix of history, nature and culture. I can highly recommend this tour and the travel agency!
