She is so friendly which will make you comfortable. Transportation was comfortable, the schedule was well managed, thanks to our driver Mr. Edgard. The destinations were absolutely beautiful. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area. It was joined a group tour, but no one else came. The tour operator still proceeded with the tour, which I truly appreciated.”

Khor Virap, Noravank, Areni-1 Birds Cave, plus Areni wine tasting from Yerevan. Great value, small group, and A/C comfort.

“Very knowledgeable tour guide who gave explanations throughout the trip. Comfortable enough mini-bus. Khor Virap was very busy, too much for my likes. Noravank, Areni Cave were more comfortable. Specially Noravank is very beautiful monastery and the scenery is spectacular. During the Wine tasting they actually give you a decent amount of wine to try, unlike other places that I have been. They have "fruit" wine, which was a first for me. On the negative side I would say the food at the restaurant was not good.

“I guess it very much depends on a guide. But if you'll get Hasmik it will be a great experience. She was thoughtful even during breaks and stuff. Her both English and Russian was superb. She delivered during transports and even talked to us during visits and giving expert tours. Not only she learned the stuff but also she knew answers to about everything. But. Be aware it is an exhausting trip. With a lot of time in transfers. So think twice if you're not interested in the programme. But you'll also have enough time on the stops.”
