A must-do trip - This was my favourite day trip in Armenia. Gyumri is a breathtaking city, much more beautiful than Yerevan. I would recommend taking a stroll along Abovyan Street and trying one of the city's restaurants and cafes. There was a lot to learn about the city's history. Luckily, our driver Grigor was well informed and spoke English well. I loved the urban life museum, it was very interesting and the staff were very friendly and ready to help with any questions you might have.
Even though the way to Gyumri was two hours long, we didn't feel it because of the beautiful views and comfortable car.

An Unforgettable Day in the Beautiful City of Gyumri - It was great! We went to Gyumri, and it was amazing and beautiful! The tour guide, Karen, explained everything in detail. We went to a restaurant where the food was good, but if you preferred to eat somewhere else, you could. Everything was very nice. The tour guide, Karen, and the bus driver, Josef, were both very friendly and funny. We had a great day.

Nice experience - The tour was interesting, the guide Marina was very exhaustive in explaining and always available to answer questions and all the curiosities of the group, made up of half English-speaking people and half Russian. The places visited definitely deserve. The only negative note was the driver's driving style, we would have preferred a little more caution. The proposed lunch was complete, good and cheap.

For a long time spent on city tour in Gyumri. Knowledgeful guide, bad driver - Marina, guide, was good. Knowing and pleasant.
Jacob, the driver was a bad driver. Braking up and driving unevenly.
The tour in Gyumri could probably be reduced in time. For example, Vii could have heard some personal stories from people in town - or just spent less time walking around and seeing and hearing about house facades

Amazing Gyumri - I appreciated some of the preserved ancient houses and churches in Gyumri. The tour guide under Hyur Tour Service (Mr. Rakbe?Sorry, I forgot🤗😁) have an extensive knowledge and explained even deeper about the famous historical places in Gyumri.
