Wonderful tour - I am very pleased with the tour that Joana gave us - cheerful and easy tour arround the city by local young person, with the right highlights and quantity of information, presented with a nice sense of humor - nothing was too much (neither history (yes, Armenia has a lot to tell, can't squeeze it in 2 hours), politics, arts, food, even walking was just enough). Joana was not only knowledgable and freindy - she gave us a touch and feel experience, made us fall in love with the city and its warm people. I do recommend if one is willing to enjoy the city and decide where to drill-down.

Fantastic experience - Tigran is very knowledgeable about the history of Armenia & he helped us with a lot of information about the history of yeravan in his free-walking tour. It was technically my first day in Armenia & it really helped me get a glimpse into the country, it's history & how it's present got shaped up due to it. He also helped us with the best places to taste the authentic local food, the list of must visit places in Armenia & I did all of them in my subsequent days of stay .. Tigran is also super friendly n patiently answers all your queries. I totally recommend him if you are in Yeravan
