“We were travelling as a family of four members. The attractions were really worth the visit, bit we had a few concerns about the trip. 1 There were two male guides on the trip. Unfortunately, the information conveyed wasnt clear, as the guides werent fluent in English. 2 There is a two hour travel time between Khor Virap and Noravank. As this wasnt effectively communicated, some of us were badly in need of a wash room by the time we got to Noravank. 3 The lunch was very basic,but highly priced. At least a bowel of fruits could be served with lunch, as there wasnt any option for desserts. 4…”

“My sister and I enjoyed a lovely private tour to Areni region with Kristine as our guide and Davit as our driver. The car was comfortable and both accommodated our request to stop for a snack on the way into the region (so that our stomachs wouldn't be empty for the tasting!). We visited Khor Virap first, followed by the Noravank Monastery (We visited five monasteries in our time in Armenia and this one was by far the most ornate. It is also in a very beautiful location surrounded by mountainous terrain. Kristine's knowledge of the monasteries was top notch.”

It is very frustrating to tell him that these are your inclusions and them see a doubtful face. I would never recommend Viator.”
