A wonderful day out! - My son was visiting Armenia for the first time so I wanted to give him a day to remember - and it certainly was. We could not have asked for better service from the initial communication, the flexibility regarding departure time, and the care we had throughout the tour. Our guide, Shushan, and driver, Lerno, were friendly, professional, informative and assiduous in their attention to detail. - even to the choice of music along the way. It was a very comfortable car, well-driven, in which we always felt safe. Khor Virap and Noravank are two very different monasteries in dramatic locations, with histories and legends that provided great education and entertainment. Being lovers of Areni wine, we enjoyed seeing the production and the tasting of a very wide variety. Jermuk is interesting in a very different way, being very Soviet in style and boasting a range of hot mineral springs from which we must now be much healthier. In some ways it doesn't matter where you go in Armenia, you will always find incredible landscapes of such a range, and wonderful hospitality. I thoroughly recommend Gira, however, and we remain most grateful for all we experienced.

Unforgettable Armenia - Thank you very much to Gira travel agency and a special thank to our very dedicated and lovely guide Arman! During our 1-day trip that started in khor virap and ended in Jermuk we have learned a lot about how Armenia became the first state in the world to adopt and embrace christianity. The way to Jermuk was amazing. The never ending Horizon that is flirting with the Ararat is impressive. You can't just fall in love with Ararat, her majesty that you can see KMs and KMs away far a whay from Yerevan. If you want to experience a true Armenian "asphalted" road that will shake you in a way to make any milk shake and dry Martin jealous, go to Jermuk and take 4x4 to reach the lost geyser. :))
