Wonderful!!! - The tour to Armenia was incredible, but the best part was the guide: Nicolas (Tota) is very knowledgeable and shares it well, and he's also fun and friendly. And he has a beautiful smile! 😊 The monasteries are wonderful, and the home-cooked food was delicious. It was a wonderful day!!! Thanks!!

We had an unforgettable day touring northern Armenia with Nicholas as our guide. - We had an unforgettable day in Armenia with Nicholas as our guide. The highlight was Akhtala Monastery, where he explained the tradition of couples passing through the symbolic rings, stepping over scorpions and a serpent to trample evil and begin a new life together. It was fascinating to hear such legends while standing in such a powerful setting. We also visited another historic monastery, where Nicholas shared captivating stories that made the history come alive. His knowledge, warmth, and attention to detail made the entire experience seamless and deeply memorable. This was truly one of the best tours we’ve taken, and we couldn’t recommend Nicholas highly enough to anyone visiting Armenia.

Excellent day trip to a pretty part of Armenia - Excellent day trip with the lovely Nina as our guide. An easy way to see another country while in Tbilisi. Crossing the border took about an hour each way. The three monasteries were interesting and different from Georgian ones. The lunch was excellent. The biggest surprise was the beautiful landscapes of that part of Armenia. Hills and forests with some crumbling Soviet era infrastructure. The other travelers in the van were friendly which made the day a lot of fun.

Excellent trip to Armenia with lots of history and good food. - Nicolas (tota) is an excellent and very personable guide who made it a fun day. His knowledge of the culture and history of Armenia, Georgia and the sites visited is superb. The included homemade lunch of Armenian cuisine was amazing and enjoyed by everyone. The optional Pomegranate wine for 1000 Armenian dram (~2.60 USD) is worth a try if you like wine. Most of the sites visited are UNESCO World Heritage Heritage sites.

Amazing lunch, nice scenery, great tour - Smooth drive, guide Tota was amazing - very nice guy. You also get a lot of info at each site and you also have time to walk around by yourself which I like. The lunch you get at the guesthouse is delicious! Def a fun highlight
