An unforgettable tour

If you want to truly fall in love with Armenia, feel its soul, history and local flavor – you are sure to Ike and Aro! It wasn't just a tour, it was an incredible trip in the company of friends. From the first minute, the guys create a very warm, light and friendly atmosphere. Ike's fascinating stories immerse you in history and culture without boring lectures, and Aro is a magnificent chauffeur with whom you feel completely safe and comfortable on the road. There is always cool water on the way, air conditioning is available and Wi-Fi is available.

Hyur bus tour

Aro the bus driver drives like a real Armanian. A bit dangerous, but we luckily survived... Hayk the tour guide is a nice guy, speaks well in english and russian as well. The places were nice, and the food was great.
