“Informative and helpful guide, who not only told us about the monasteries we visited but also general information about Armenia. The pace was good , and although it did not affect us, the tour description should probably highlight the climb to Sevanavank monastery. The guide and the driver kindly agreed to a few minute detour on our way back to show us a memorial we did not know about but were keen to see.”

“This review comes straight from heart. When I booked this tour I had no idea that I am going to meet this amazing person Mr Ruben. He took care of us like a family. He was proud of the Armenian culture and gave us flavour of it in the short span we spent together. Not only he took us to places told us about the history and cultural importance but he was always around us like we were his family. We do not speak Armenian or Russian and he doesn't speak English but we trust me on this we spoke non-stop on various topics . Armenia is home to me…”
