Armenia · DILIJAN DAY TRIPS
18 reviewed
Dilijan is beech forest, wooden balconies and two monasteries hidden in the trees, and locals call it the Armenian Switzerland without much argument. Below are the 15 best trips north: which take in Haghartsin and Goshavank, which add Lake Parz, plus prices, durations and what the roads are like in winter.

“I have been on tours all over the world and never experienced a guide quite like today’s. Mari (very sorry to name the guide, but what’s the point in writing a review otherwise?) was exceptionally cold with guests from the outset until the end. She did not seem interested in being there or guiding the tour. She asked her guests a perfunctory ‘icebreaker’ question at the beginning of the tour; other than that she didn’t bother to engage whatsoever for the subsequent 9 hours with the group beyond giving dry, humourless overviews of the various places we stopped at. It felt like we were on a tour with a vampire.…”

“We really enjoyed our tour with Nina and Tigran. Nina was an outstanding and wonderful guide - so knowledgeable, engaging and easy to listen to (we could listen to her for hours!). Tigran was an excellent driver, always attentive and thoughtful, even opening the door for us each time. Both of them were incredibly welcoming and friendly. Nina always checked in to see if we wanted to spend more time at different stops. They made the whole experience comfortable and memorable. We went to some amazing places like Lake Sevan, Dilijan, Tzgahakadzor, Lake Parz - we wouldn’t have been able to have had the same experience without Nina’s stories and…”
