Insanely beautiful views, zero boredom! - The tour was absolutely perfect! Very well organized and executed - there was no point at which we had to wait too long for anything. The views were amazing! I was able to take so many fantastic pictures. It wouldn’t be possible without the great guide and driver combo (thanks Eduard and Levon!) who took care of us during the day. Amazing experience overall, 10/10 would do again.

- Really good tour. The guide Edvard was providing a lot of information all day long and took good care of us, and our driver Levon drove safely and always kept the bus cool for us. The bus was comfortable, especially appreciated the well functioning air conditioner. We had stops at three important monasteries, it felt like the time given to explore was enough. Tatev was the best one for me. The lunch was tasty and plentiful, with nice surprises. It is a long drive, but I appreciated the view on different landscapes almost as much as the stops, we saw at least three different types of views along the way. Eduard always pointed out all the interesing things we could observe from the bus.

Perfect tour to Tatev - Our tour to Tatev was absolutely unforgettable! Every stop along the way was stunning, and the views took our breath away. Edward, our guide, was fantastic—so knowledgeable, warm, and full of energy. He really made the experience special. And Levon, our driver, was amazing—smooth, safe, and professional the whole way through. We couldn’t have asked for a better team or a more beautiful day!

Great tour, will do it again!!! - This tour was amazing!!!! I will definitely recommend it! Our tour guide Anahid was awesome- she was very knowledgeable, personable and had a good sense of humor. She would change Russian to English back and forth without any problem or delay. Her comments were on point and storytelling was extremely engaging and informative. Levon - bus driver is very skilled and I applaud his stamina- after all it was a long tour and driving conditions were very difficult given the winding roads which he handled exceptionally well. Overall, this pair was perfect and I would definitely take a tour with them again!!!

Armenia, from west to east. - Hayk, our guide, was an amazing person! He showed us a large part of Armenia with a consistently positive attitude. I truly enjoyed the experience from the very beginning and I learned a lot about past and present of Armenia. Although we encountered a minor technical issue with the bus, it was quickly resolved, and everything stayed on schedule. The company even offered a small compensation, which we really appreciated.

Excursion to Tatev - I really enjoyed the tour. The professionalism of Haik's tour guide is high. We learned a lot. No questions have been left unanswered. I'd also like to celebrate driver Gevorg.

Good experience however note on long bus ride - It is probably the only provider offer these 3 spots in one day. It is well organized, tour guide Edward is knowledgeable and kind. The lunch with free wine exceeded my expectation. The downside, from Tatev back to Yerevan 5 hour ride is quite tiring, even on a coach bus. The back of bus is very hot probably aircon not so effective.

Price/quality ratio is excellent! - Hike and Gevorg. It was great for the money they gave away for the tour. They ate really good. The views are fascinating. Price/quality is excellent. One point was taken for a broken bus: yes, everything happens in this life and no one swore, but the plush for a two-hour layover wasn't enough.
