Amazing

We enjoyed our first trip so much that we booked a second tour with Rose and Sasha, and it was just as fantastic! This time, we explored the religious heart of Armenia, visiting the Echmiadzin Cathedral, the stunning ruins of Zvartnots Cathedral, and several other beautiful historical churches. It was a truly magnificent sightseeing experience. Then they took us on lunch in the Echmiadzin complex. It was once again amazing delicious food. Once again, Rose was an outstanding guide. Her profound knowledge and the genuine love she has for her country truly brought the rich history of these spiritual sites to life. Sasha was, as always, the perfect driver. He is quiet, highly professional, and takes exceptional care of his guests. We felt incredibly safe and comfortable the entire time. If you are visiting Armenia, do yourself a favor and explore it with this amazing team. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Amazing trip to Lori region

We actually did a different tour to the Alphabet monument and then headed to the Lori region and visited the fortress at Lori, Parni Castle, Haghpat monastery. We stayed overnight in Lori and then the next day we went to Etchmiadzin Cathedral and museum. Our tour guide Anoush was very good. Spoke great English and was very knowledgeable. Our driver Hayk was also great and his driving was excellent. Thank you both for an amazing experience.
