Tigran is friendly but I feel like the cultural walking tour was showing more hidden parts of armenia(which wasn't very much in this tour) and I just wanted more of a general overview of the different parts of yerevan and how the architecture changed over time. Also he spoke too low especially in a high traffic region like Yerevan and when I asked him to please speak up he made a rude comment about me being demanding which is normal for an armenian in front of the other tourists. There was also construction happening and he merely walked a few feet away and…”

“I would not recommend this trip to other travellers. The company said that seats can’t be reserved so we took our seats on the bus and apparently the seat was reserved by someone with a half empty bottle of water, which we thought was rubbish. She was rude and aggressive to us. She then got a member of staff and she was rude and unhelpful saying find another seat, but by the time this woman came on the bus it was 2 mins before the trip was due to depart so there was no seats together and the member of staff wouldn’t ask any solo travellers to sit together for…”
