Very interesting tour, nice prices, service - wow) I had a wonderful guide Edward. A pleasant, polite young man, very interesting storytelling and equally important, fluent in three languages - Russian, English and Armenian. So on the tour will be comfortable for all foreign citizens) And we also had a driver - Ashot. Comfortable riding, stress-free)
Excellent
Our driver Ashot and our tour guide Eduard were excellent. Eduard used both Russian and English on the same tour. Speaking clearly and with details for everything all through our tour. Thank you so much, we had a very nice time
Travel experience in Armenia and Georgia
This review of mine is after 2 others made in the first days of travel. It was a fantastic tour that allowed us to get to know two important countries like Armenia and Georgia. Our guide Gayane gave us a lot of information and was always available, kind, discreet, attentive and always ready to answer our every question or request. Even the driver of the minibus was friendly and efficient in driving for all vacation days. Really nice experience!
