5.00With one free day in Yerevan before work meetings, I decided to treat myself to a tour of Geghard Monastery and Garni temple. They are great sights, but Central Tour made the trip a wonderful experience. I couldn't believe the quality of the service. Nvard was in touch with me by text before and after I arrived in Yerevan to answer questions and offer help. I found this very reassuring as a first-time visitor. Her colleagues Vard (the guide) and Artur (the driver) were equally helpful. Vard's knowledge was really impressive, even for my rather niche interests, and I found it easy to talk to her. We made extra stops at a lavash bakery and the Symphony of Stones, which were very enjoyable. On the way back, they made another stop to help me change money, which was definitely above and beyond!
Excellent tour with a warm, insightful guide

5.00Our day trip to Garni and Geghard was memorable. Our guide, Nvard, was knowledgeable and friendly. We had a comfortable journey to both places listening to general information about Armenia. At the sites, she not only provided detailed information about Garni and Geghard but also went out of her way to facilitate our experience e.g by singing beautifully inside one of the chambers of the monastery to demonstrate how the acoustics work. When I asked her about a museum in Arindj that I had read about, she not only gave me information about it but also took us there for no extra charge. It was a wonderful way to experience a bit of Armenia and I hope we will see more of the country with her.
History that is hard for Americans to fathom

5.00A short drive out of Yerevan, Armenia is a faithfully reconstructed Temple originally constructed during the first century AD. This is the only “Pagan Temple” in the First Nation to be “decreed” a Christian Nation. By being designated the tomb of the King who issued the Christian decree, this is the only Temple remaining in the country.
Restored temple

4.00Departure on time, very informative and pleasant guide. As usually happens when bus tour is organized, some tourists do not respect the timing so those who are with discipline must wait..
