The group divided into smaller groups by language and on every sight we had some time with the guide and some time to wander around on our own. Our guide Marina communicated very well and gave us clear instructions, in order to have this big group to be on the schedule and getting the best of this trip. The sights were amazing and I got to know Armenia a lot better thanks to our guide.”

“The trip is great, especially the first part - Khor Virap is great, Noravank is magnificent, an absolute must-do! The second part is not so nice, except the waterfall. The Jermuk baths, the wine tasting (not a good wine) and especially the cable, make the trip unnecessarily long and tiresome. Anyway, our guide Anahit was very nice and helpful - thank you very much!”
