Traveler reviews
The interesting tour
The tour was very interesting. The guide Akob told us many interesting facts, and the driver Araik drove very carefully
Very nice experience
Private guide Raffi and driver Karlen were impressive during this trip. Safe driving and very informative by Raffi. 10+. They were great.
Private tour to Saghmosavank Monastery, alphabet alley, Hovhannavank Monastery and dry fruit tasting
We experienced the rural side of Armenia with Arakel, whom we found to be very professional driver and he also speaks some english so we could easily understand each other. The monasteries have a unique architecture and look like they are made from stone, the alphabet alley is also nice with a big park nearby but the best experience was the fruit tasting which is specific to Armenian culture.
Going to see 4 different churches with Meline
Meline was super nice and gave us the best tour ever! Goqor was a super great driver. Thank you so much for showing us the different churches and teaching us Armenian history! I definitely want to come back and take another tour with Meline! շնորհակալություն Մելինե
