Comprensive Overview of Armenian Sights

5.00Excellent tour. The guide was highly knowledgeable and gave us an in depth overview of the history behind the sights. It was also a plus that there was a separate driver besides the guide.
A very informative tour

4.00Srbuhi (Sana), my guide, was very professional, polite and well informed. My driver, Suren, was also professional and drove safely through areas that had snow in the ground. He was cautious which was welcomed. The pace of the tour was just right to allow full enjoyment of the sites we visited. I am deducting one star since I was a bit disappointed at the head office that wouldn't arrange for the return of my hat that was left in the car. I didn’t think it would be such a big deal to have someone drop it off at my hotel on their way to another tour. Perhaps, as a regular traveler, I was expecting for a bit more post-tour customer service. I bought a new hat😃
Wonderful Tour Experience from Start to Finish

5.00We had a great tour and visited some wonderful sites. Our driver, Arsen, was excellent and drove us around safely and comfortably throughout the trip. Sana, our guide, was fantastic, she spoke English very well and was extremely knowledgeable and thorough in her explanations. Together they made the experience enjoyable and seamless. I would highly recommend both of them anytime.

5.00It’s a full day of amazing sites that should not be missed on a trip to Armenia. We added this tour on to another two-week long tour of Georgia and Armenia. The guide was very knowledgeable and considerate. And we had an excellent driver. Highly recommended.
