Excellent tour, all places are wonderful, it is so interesting, you can see history in front of you, how could they live and build in those wonderful places! Our guide and driver were extraordinary, Eduardo and Spartak
Did the top 3 Armenia monasteries in 1 day. magnificent Mt Ararat view, red stone cliffs at Noravank and awesome gorge view at Tatev. Everything was planned well to complete all the sights
The guide Anahit is very experienced and was careful to every one in the group. Had answers to all of our questions and made the trip full of various information. Harut was a good driver, got us to the foggiest places and back, safe and secure.
