“The tour was okay However the tour guide Maria was not informative and she just said what she wanted to. She gave unnecessary details for long and had only few minutes to see the place. The lunch options were less and we had to eat forcefully as it was 9 hr tour. The driver while coming back drove so slow coz of which we reach at 7.30 instead of 6.00 pm”

“It was a great tour! The lake was nice and cool but I got super burnt! The sun there is pretty strong so remember to put on sun screen! Also it gets really hot in the bus, I think the AC is blowing at the weakest so the back of the bus gets very hot. The fish was really tasty, pretty boney, look out, but really tasty.”

“It was so great to have the trip only in English! I wish more trips are only in English for non-Russian speakers. Marina was the best tour guide I’ve had in years. And the bus driver was excellent in driving and in his demeanor as well. Both she and him are keepers for your company. Overall, this excursion was the best I’ve had in Armenia so far. And noravank and tatev were great. Noravank is my fave so far.”

“Smbat was wonderful and explained a lot about armenian culture and history. We had a great group and a lot of fun. The lunch spot (food court) wasn’t great. Another tour provider asked us to prebook a dish (choice out of 3), so that we can have lunch quickly. At the lake there was not much to do, it was a bit cold in that area. You can rent a boat or do the zip line. Cafes seem to be closed/ very empty. Other than that the day was great”
