5.00This small group day tour was fantastic. The local guide was very knowledgeable and the number of stops was perfect and they were also different. The scenery in this part of Armenia is outstanding. The tour also included lunch at a local families home and we sat at their dining room table with so much home-made food. It was so delicious.
Highly recommended!

5.00It was an amazing experience! Tour truly offers great value for money. Our guide was fluent in English and shared a lot of information and interesting facts about each location we visited. The small group size of just six people made the experience even more enjoyable. We were also fortunate that there weren't many tourists at the spots we visited, likely because the tour was on a Monday. One of the highlights was the homemade lunch at a local family's home, which added a wonderful, authentic touch to the trip. Highly recommended!
