Greaz - Tour was great! Thoughtful explanations, great guide (jonathan? who was armenian, but born and raised in Russia). What stood out though was the food stop. I didn’t expect all the side dishes. The food was so delicious and there was a lot. Just wow

Perfect tour to Mt. Aragats and surrounds! - The last tour of the season ran on 30 September and I changed my travel dates to Armenia just so I could do it. Was it worth it? Totally! Armen was a brilliant driver and Edward, our guide, a complete encyclopedia on Armenian history, culture, and folklore. At the same time, he was funny, efficient, and made every site we visited in and around Mt. Aragats, interesting. I am really glad I got to do the tour before the roads became difficult to travel through with the arrival of winter.

Please do it of you are in yeravan - We had Manya as our guide & Ara as our driver today & I am so glad that booked this excursion. All the places included in this trip are worth visiting for which they cover breathtaking landscapes & amazing armenian history. Manya is a storehouse of knowledge & super friendly. She's easily approachable & is so patient in answering all your queries. She not only told about the places mentioned in the itinerary but Also so many places in yeravan so enthusiastically.. and the place they took us for lunch felt like a family we visit often, so much warmth, so much love n so much good food.. all in all this is a great trip I recommend everyone to take if they are in yeravan

Beautiful mountainous region - The Aragats Mountains offer beautiful landscapes. But the icing on the cake is the church of Saghmosavank also nestled in a beautiful area. It is in Basalt which has allowed it to keep its moose look through the centuries. Too bad that the frescoes have lost a lot of their magic but in fact, religious images are not restored because for Armenians, these images distract them from the essential Cad God. This church is very frequented by young people who come to marry.

Fabulous breathtaking tour with a mystery included! - Definitely recommend this tour. It was absolutely breathtaking and involved a mystery as to why we felt we were ascending in the bus while in fact we were descending on mount Aragats. The tour guide Hayk Harutyunyan was really great. He made every tourist on the bus introduce themselves to the group to create a great tour environment. He was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour encouraging us to take our time in each sight. The scenery was breathtaking and lake Kari does not disappoint. Aragats mountains is gorgeous and there are Obsidien stones scattered all over. A marvel of nature. We had a delicious lunch at the dried fruit company. The owners were very kind and hospitable. The Armenian alphabets were also enchanting. This tour is a must.
