Must See Locations in Armenia - I have taken a couple of tours with this travel agency, and I loved all of them. The quality of the services provided is high, the treatment is very good, and the scenery is stunning. This trip to the Lori region really showcases the natural beauty of Armenia and its rich and ancient culture. The road to each of the locations is very smooth and absolutely beautiful as we travelled through the mountains. We had enough time at each location to take a break and look around. There were enough facilities (shops and washrooms) around for basic needs. Our guide Knarik Harutyunyan was so helpful, kind, funny and energetic, and she provided us with all the necessary historical information about each location. She also takes great pictures!!:))) Also the driver was very helpful, and I felt safe in the car during the trip. I absolutely loved this trip organized by One Way Tour! PS: I highly recommend to have Armenian coffee at the beautiful location in Mendz Er! The view is amazing!!

Monasteries, land and people - A well thought-out and organized tour where I saw many unique landscapes and monastery complexes while meeting nice people! Karmela has declared very committed and enthusiastic and has a great background knowledge that she is happy to pass on. Not only have I learned a lot about monasteries, but also Armenia in general. I was lucky that it was a mixed Armenian-international tour group, so beautiful scenes were created, such as spontaneous lessons in Armenian dances during a tea break.

Pleasent guides, good drivers, good atmosphere:) - I have been to 5 tours with One Way tour. The guides are very pleasant and they give you the feeling of being a part of the team. For a solo traveller like me, it is very important to feel welcome with others in the group. The cars are new and the drivers are experienced. You will visit a lot of places in one day which makes your time even more valueable.
