Excellent experience with Aramazd - We went as a family, we are Argentinians and we do not speak Armenian. From the first day I contacted Karen, head of the agency, she was very clear and precise and gave me a budget tailored to my needs. Sonna, who was my administrative contact, did her best to satisfy my payment method and was always very attentive to everything and attentive to knowing if everything was in order. Up to this point, all the theory and administration went perfectly. The people in charge were always very kind. Let's get to the practice. First, I will highlight Arsen, who was our driver in charge. He, without speaking Spanish, made an effort to make our ride more pleasant and pleasant, always carrying fresh water in case you are thirsty. And finally I want to highlight Cristina Kyureghian, our guide who speaks perfect Spanish and has an excellent knowledge of history and its protagonists who surprises us with her ease and simplicity when explaining things to us, an incredible person who helps us not only with tourist visits but also gave us a great hand in other things that we cannot solve because we do not know the language. Thank you Aramazd Tour for the excellent service. We will return for more Armenia and more Aramadz. Greetings from Buenos Aires Argentina
