Wonderful One Day trip to Armenia - Irakli is such an experienced and knowledgeable guide. We chose to see Lake Sevan, Odzun Monastry, Sanahin Town and Haghpat monastry, all in one day. He took for meals and explained us everything about the country’s history. He’s a good photographer as well 😁

Did the tour as a transfer to Yerevan and it was GREAT! - I booked this as a day tour AND transfer to kill 2 birds with one stone, and it was honestly so worth it! Irakli was a fantastic guide - knowledgeable, funny, and also a great photographer and can take great photo/video of you which I loved. It's great to see Haghpat, Sanahin, and Sevanavat on the way to Yerevan so you can experience all these parts of Armenia while you transfer there from Tbilisi and don't have to backtrack by doing more day trips from Yerevan. Irakli also takes you to other fun viewpoints and spots along the way, off the itinerary, and knows the best photo spots and viewpoints. Thank you so much!

Amazing - I can freely say that it was one of the most interesting and memorable trips. Besides the places we saw were breathtaking, including amazing nature, the main value of this trip was its guide, who was extremely professional, knowledgeable about his work and history, energetic and enthusiastic. He answered all our questions thoroughly and was ready to help us in everything. He filled us all with amazing energy because of his sense of humor. The family we visited for dinner was also very hospitable. In short, everything was better organized than I could have imagined. Definitely recommend getting this experience!

Oh, it was so pretty. From the beginning, I couldn't even imagine. All of you must see. - never thought that Armenia could be so wonderful. It was amazing. Our tour leader was so friendly and funny. Also, I must mention, he was a good driver. You will find out, why you need a skilled driver in Armenia. Roads are rough and not in a good shape. He was experienced and knew, where it was better to stop and relax from the road.
