The only temple in Armenia in classic Greek style - Interesting place to visit. Nice temple in ancient Greek style and a "gorge" nearby with an incredible stone structure like "pipes"

Armenia Tour - We took the tour with our parents. The tour company was very friendly and supportive even when we had to book the tour last minute. The sights were beautiful and our guide was punctual. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip with our parents. Would book again with them.

Meeting point was easy to... - Meeting point was easy to find. Tour began with some historical and cultural information about Armenia; I was already familiar but I can appreciate the benefit to most travelers. I particularly appreciated the Symphony of Stones, but there was something for most tastes. Yegor was quite knowledgeable about the places we visited, and even those we just passed by.

language barriers - I would say that the trip was great - my review is 3/5 for only a few small details. I felt that our driver and vehicle for the trip was comfortable and quickly navigated the different sites. We had a knowledgeable guide, helpful and kind. There was a lot questions that I had asked and it was important for me to learn as much as possible. That said, my rating comes from the language struggles. There were 3 languages spoken in our vehicle and didn't feel fluid or easy for the guide. When speaking English, there was a strong accent and went too fast for me to understand 60-70% of what was being said. This was unfortunate because the guide had so much knowledge. I would just say that the most knowledgable guides are great, but the language needs to be correct or all of that knowledge gets lost in a car ride and on walking tours. Thank you for all the hard work you are doing, its a great tour and i'll remember it for years.

Everything alright, worthy 👌 - A very good experience, most of the spots were very beautiful some also ranked in Unesco, I really liked it! The guide was well prepared, but was looking very detached and not friendly, and in the monastery, she left us while explaining, because " was feeling cold" and went back to the car... Pity, she spoiled my experience that could be much better.
