A day in Gyumri

First of all, I would like to thank our Karen Khachatryan for his explanations about Gyumri which were clear and interesting, and a thank you to the driver Levon. Very good explanations in English, although the only unfortunate thing is that the tour operator mixes Russian speakers with English speakers. Otherwise, a good time regarding the culture of Armenia.

The guide and the driver are excellent!

I absolutely fell in love with Gyumri thanks to our guide! I am so grateful for Manya and the driver Samvel for this travel experience! The driver was really careful on the road, and the guide was so interesting to listen to. The price of the excursion is affordable and it’s worth taking this trip. Thank you!

Great tours!

Eduard and Levon were very professional and helpful throughout the day and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and I could highly recommend it. I joined another tour with Monia and Josep, who were also super helpful and knowledgeable in giving us a nice day tour experience.

I had tour guide Eduard and driver Levon. Both were amazing. The ride was very smooth and on time, and Eduard gave lots of good information and answered all the questions. There was no rush, pacing was good.
