Fantastic and fascinating

The places were sacred. The nature of Armenia is remarkable and the wine is a poetry. The explanation of the guide Karen was fantastic. And the driver Levon as well.

I recommend visiting

Good tour organization, without fuss. It is especially interesting at the Ijevan winery—the tour is informative, and the tasting is what you need to feel the taste of the region. I want to express huge gratitude separately to our guide Nina for her attentiveness, care for the group, interesting stories, and a lot of new information. And of course, thank you to the driver Khachutish for his carefulness on the road.

A beautiful and relaxing trip

Excellent tour. It's not so bad to go, so the road is not tiring. I was with the driver Maurik and the guide Marina. The bus is comfortable, there is water and wifi for guests. The tour is calm, fresh air, beautiful views. I really liked the guide, she is professional and creates a calming atmosphere herself. The group is international, the guide manages to tell everything in two languages. The tour and lunch in Izhevsk are excellent. It feels like everyone is approaching work with soul.
