Beautiful Armenia - Feel Armenia arranged an one day private tour for me around Yerevon, Armenia in January 2020.
This tour gave me an overview about the mountains, the lakes, the culture, the history, the religion and the food. Feel Armenia did a great job to present Armenia.
The tour guide, Ms. Hasmik Evoyan is very knowledgeable, helpful and communicates very well.
Armenia is beautiful country. Armenians are friendly and wonderful people with great culture heritage .
I will definitely return to Armenia for longer stay.

Tour with good people - My first visit to Armenia was made memorable by a bunch of good people. Tamara, Edo, Arthur and Lida have created a wonderful tour of in and around Yerevan. I felt like traveling with friends in my hometown. Initially I had planned a one-day tour but extended it to two because of the good company of these young professionals.
I would recommend you to see Armania with them. It's like coming home to the place I know...
