Very great tour, guide, driver and delicious lunch - It was fascinating tour to Gyumri with Sanasar. He is one of the best guides in Yerani Travel (I was on 3 other tours). While we were going to Gyumri he told history of Armenia and a lot of interesting facts, stories. Road to Gyumri (also part of Silk Road) is very exciting. You can see beautiful sceneries, mountain ranges and hear interesting Armenian history. Gyumri have got rich history and it's look very good after earthquake in 1988. It's developed and modern city. In museum you hear history of Gyumri and his citizens. May be you will be lucky and see the ghost :), I didn't see. In Gyumri we had a very tasty lunch. On appetizer we had salad, vegetables. I have never eaten so delicious chicken salad (I think it's Armenian national dish, because in my and other countries I haven't seen such dish). Main course was barbecue. After lunch we went to Marmashen. Marmashen monastery is situated in pleasing place near river. It's good-looking monastery. Locals come here to relax and see beatiful views and green fields. Thank you Sanasar and Yerani Travel team for good time and organisation. Hope I will use your service again.
