A must-do walking tour - Excellent tour of Yerevan with Ioanna, who highlighted both the incredible history and fascinating culture. I learned so much in just 3 hours and got to try some amazing local food. Highly recommend

Golden 4 hours in Yerevan with Ana. - I must say that this is a must for all. Spent 4 golden hours with our excellent guide Ana who started right from the history of Armenia, showed many monuments and ALSO a number of unusual places which you will never find for yourself. It gives a picture of the other Yerevan. The food she arranged in an authentic Armenian restaurant was too good. A++ to the tour and Ana as well.

Fantastic! - We have done a good few free walking tours and this was certainly up there as one of the best. Ioanna was fantastic, she covered a lot of different subjects, very well managing the cultural and political sensitivities that go with any tour of this nature. Anna was also with her and she added some really insightful comments too. The pitstop of some food was very welcome and added a good dimension. Ioanna's grasp of the English language was fantastic and she maintained energy throughout the whole tour. We were very pleased and wouldn't hesitate to recommend

A great tour - As a regular traveler, I normally start my journey with a walking tour to get a flavor of the City. This time I combined it with some food too. This was a great tour. My guide (Tigran) was well informed and had ordered some very delicious traditional dishes for us to try too. We had an overactive and hyper person in our small group. However, my guide politely and effectively got him to be patient and ho with the flow of the tour. That was pleasant.

Great tour to get started in Yerevan - The tour was extremely informative and well-planned and the snack time towards the end complemented nicely the various informational stops. Tigran was knowledgeable and engaging, mixed in-depth explanations about Armenian history with funny jokes.

Tirgan is fabulous! - Tigran is the loveliest person! He is incredibly passionate and informative about the history of Armenia. He doesn’t sugar coat anything which I loved and made us both laugh! We had a great few hours with him and would recommend him as a tour guide to anyone!
