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.
Amazing experience of horse riding in an Northern Armenia village

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.
