Highly recommended tour! - This was one of the best excursions in our Armenia trip. We believe that the Geghard Monastery is the most beautiful monastery from the inside. We were picked up on time, everything worked out super well, friendly driver, we felt very comfortable, the Garni Temple is absolutely a must! Thank you for this tour!

Higly recommended - Tour lasted 5 hrs, the places are very popular and therefore quite busy, especially Geghard monastery, but it was well worth. David was an excellent driver, extremely careful in avoiding bumps, gave us good suggestions, and his vehicle was spotless.
