Great day out - I joint a group trip to lake Seven and Dilijan, with a group mixed of Russian and English speakers. We were lucky to have Anastasia as our guide, she speaks fluent English and Russian, and was extremely patient and knowledgeable when guiding us. The driver Vardan also made sure we had a smooth and safe trip. I find myself having enough free time at each stop, lunch was delicious as well. Overall a very enjoyable day trip, I would strongly recommend.

Perfect half-day trip on our first day - Visiting two monasteries and a medieval cemetery. We learned about the importance of cross stones in keeping Armenian culture, family, and history alive. Dinner by the lakeside of Lake Sevan was an extraordinary treat, with the best trout we had ever had! Our guide Hafik and driver Vahe were friendly, kind, cordial, and accommodating. We learned so much. A perfect half-day trip on the first day.
