Great tour. Very pleasant company.
Marat (driver) and Meline (guide) took us on a tour of Garni Temple, Geghard and the Charents Arch. Marat was a great non-smoking driver who took great care to make sure we were comfortable in the car. Meline was great with our young child and provided a good amount of interesting information about each stop. She was delightful to speak to spend time with. We would gladly use their services again for any additional tours.
