Enjoying Armenia🥰
We had city tour just today with Meline our tour guide, very sweet lady, who is approachable, friendly and knowledgeable.
She shared lot of information about Armenian history in a very interesting way, and took us around the city.
In addition to that she is a professional photographer.
Our driver Avet as well was very friendly and arrived on time.
We enjoyed Meline company.

Short but still fun
This is our third private tour with this tour operator as we definitely enjoyed the other tours we booked. This one is quite short and we had to rush a bit but that was understandable given that it rained in the middle of our tour. Our guide, David, made sure we were comfortable despite the rain and tried his best to make us appreciate Yerevan City as much as possible. They were also very accommodating with our requests and gave us recommendations for after we finished the tour.
