Don’t Hesitate

5.00This was one of my best days in Armenia, although I have lived here for 2 months already. Our guide was very hospitable, kind, and helpful from the beginning to the end of the trip. We got to ride through a small village and see the canyon— this is a wonderful way to experience rural Armenia in a fun and warm environment. At the end of the excursion, we ate a home cooked meal and drank homemade vodka. If you can do this trip, please do so. Life-changing.

5.00We missed the bus so went there late, but the host is very nice to us and offered to delay the trip. He also helped us a lot when finding taxi with the negotiation and giving us tips such as glide for the blue sharing taxi rather than the others, which are really useful.
