Great tour to enjoy beautiful spots - The tour might be quite ite long for some people but it's worth effort because of all amazing places and views you will see. The speed is fine and you have enough time to enjoy each spot inclusive time for eat. The guide was super friendly and knowledgeable. We definitely recommend this one.

Great monasteries but long car ride - The tour covered two amazing monasteries and breathtaking views to mount Ararat.
The waterfalls, mineral waters and winery were okay but in my opinion not worth the ride.
The group and guide were super nice.
Total tour was 11 hours and I believe 5-6 out of that were in the car in big heat and mostly no air condition.
Lunch break was in a food court. That is kind of a fast food restaurant based on microwaves.
All in all I would not choose the tour again: Too much driving for the sites

Not a must, but absolutely recommended - Super knowledgeable Guide who enthusiastically told about all destinations and drew our attention to details that would have eluded me absolutely otherwise. Excellent transport to all locations and good coordination with the group.

No audioguide, Crazy driving - The night before the Tour, they said the guide was not feeling fine. We agreed for another tour with the same stops, I asked for audioguide at least and they agreed. They asked for a higher price, even though the tour was without guide: I had to contract the price. The "audioguide" was a recorded voice you could listen inside the car while moving from one Place to another. The driver drove crazy, and wasn't able to communicate with the group: we didn't know what we were going to visit. The tour had to last 10 hours, It took 12.

Do not take this tour from the specific company - This was our first day in Armenia, and we had a horrible experience! I had an extremely disappointing experience with this holiday company. The car provided was in terrible condition; the AC didn't work, and the car broke down over 20 times during the trip. At one point, it was so bad that a truck almost rammed into us. To make matters worse, the car even ran out of gas, leaving us stranded. The tour, which was advertised as a professional service, was outsourced to a local agent who picked random cab drivers off the street. Our driver barely spoke English, only knowing how to say "yes" or "no," which made communication almost impossible. Out of the six places listed in the catalogue, we were only taken to 5. This was not the stress-free vacation we were promised, and I would strongly advise against booking with this company.
