“We had such a nice experience and the tour guide had amazing energy. His passion for his country and story was very appealing indeed. We would have loved the group to be full English so you would have full attention, but of course in the down season we understand it would be mixed. But very nice people and great energy all around”

“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…”
