“Smbat was wonderful and explained a lot about armenian culture and history. We had a great group and a lot of fun. The lunch spot (food court) wasn’t great. Another tour provider asked us to prebook a dish (choice out of 3), so that we can have lunch quickly. At the lake there was not much to do, it was a bit cold in that area. You can rent a boat or do the zip line. Cafes seem to be closed/ very empty. Other than that the day was great”
