5.00It was an amazing tour. Comfortable car, an exceptionally amazing guide who took us to all the places in the package and breathtaking views. This private tour was all we wanted and expected from our trip to Armenia. Especially the journey, snow covered mountains, snow steams and cold winds made it much more memorable. Gor was our driver-cum- guide and he is a gem of a person. We talked all through our journey of 12-13 hours knowing about all what this tour and Armenia has to offer. Wings of Tatev is a real, once in a lifetime experience, more magical in winters with snow all around you. Would recommend Gor to everyone who ever books this tour. Absolutely worth it in winters as well. Thanks Gor for this amazing tour.
Excellent Tour!

3.00Associate was great and cooperative but many commitments made in the booking list was news to him. Like food and drinks included, free WiFi etc. We had to pay for food and drinks. It is very frustrating to tell him that these are your inclusions and them see a doubtful face. I would never recommend Viator.
A great tour of history and culture
