    Our experience started with Aram's helpful, informative communciation about our schedule, pick-up, and needs. He revised the published schedule to adapt to our timeframe. The schedule itself was well thought out - we had lots of varied types of activites each day. Our driver, Arman, was more of a knowledgeable guide than a driver. He was prompt, informative, personable, flexible, and he took us to additional sites that were not on the list. I cannot imagine how the experience could have been improved. Thank you!

    We booked Gira travels for our trip to Armenia . They gave us a detailed itinerary covering all major attractions .Arman was our guide during our 4 days trip to Armenia . He is definitely the best guide we have ever had. His knowledge on the country(history, sightseeing, culture .. everything ) is excellent, he does his job with passion and enthusiasm and he was always trying to do more than included in the programme. His English is perfect and he was entertaining us with lots of jokes from the morning till the evening every single day. I highly recommend Gira travels to everyone
