Great tour of Khor Virap etc. with Karen at Hyur

We really enjoyed the Mt.Ararat/Khor Virap, Areni winery, the magnificent Noravank monastery and the Birds cave with Karen, our very knowledgeable and vocally talented tour leader. Highly recommended:)

In love with Armenia

Was on two trips - to Noravank and to Gyumri. This trips was amazing, bus is comfortable. Our driver, Joseph, is an excellent driver - the ride was comfortable and his driving was superb. Special thanks to our guide, Karen, who not only told fascinating stories about the sights but also made us laugh with his jokes, and even sang (!) a psalm in Armenian during the tour. He also invited the group to try their hand at baking lavash. He's the best guide, and these are the best tours in Armenia!
