“We took the Discover Armenia: Tbilisi–Haghpat–Dilijan–Sevan–Yerevan–Tbilisi tour and had an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. As two young female travelers, we were initially a bit nervous about crossing the border, but Morris made the entire process incredibly smooth, simple, and stress-free, which immediately put us at ease. Morris was an amazing guide — so kind, thoughtful, and genuinely caring throughout the whole journey.

He shared with us both Georgian and Armenian history and patiently answered all our many questions. We enjoyed our time in Dilijan and Lake Sevan very much. The border crossing went smoothly both times (took about 20-30 min in the morning, and only about 10 min when we came back at night). Guram drove us safely on this very long day trip. We would definitely recommend him!”

“The morning was a lottle big chaotic as the agent on the website keep asking us to wait in front of Spar, but there were people from other company keep asking us to go another place. We were confused as there were multiple cases of scamming happening in Tbilisi all these while. But at the end things solved out and end up we are combining several bookings from different source and depart together. The online agent should know better and communicate better. The guide Paata and the driver did and awesome job today bringing us to explore Armenia. Lake Sevan was awesome but the floor is too slippery during winters…”
