Incredible Experience - Such an amazing experience to see the monasteries, mountains, and other historical sites in Armenia. Our guide was amazing explaining the history and giving us time to explore. The lunch we ate prepared by a local family was a true once and a lifetime experience. Highly recommend this tour.

Wonderful, fascinating, big day out - I went on this tour in May 2024. The trip was very interesting and enjoyable. Zezva was the guide. He was a very good guide who gave a great, intelligent commentary. He was very knowledgeable, a very good explainer and communicator and really looked after the group. Plus he loves dogs,,,😀😀😀.. During the tour, we visited 3 monasteries, a museum dedicated to two famous Armenian-Georgians and a derelict cable car. The monasteries were extraordinarily beautiful. Along the way we had an excellent, delicious lunch at the home of a local family. We finally got back to Tbilisi quite late as we got dropped off in the suburb we were all, coincidently, staying in. A very nice touch. I really enjoyed my glimpse of Armenia. A wonderful tour. Highly recommended.🙂🙂🙂

Best Trip, Best Food - Even on the bus, we could learn about the history of Georgia and Armenia, and I gained a better understanding of the things outside the windows. In churches and other places, we were given explanations of things that were not written on the Internet, which was very helpful. The Armenian food served was also very tasty! A great day.
