History of Christianity tour in Armenia
We spent an interesting morning accompanied by our driver Gregory and with Mariana our guide. We went through much of the history of Christianity in Armenia with good explanations and knowing beautiful buildings.
Perfect trip
It was a perfect trip for me and my mom. This tour will be especially interesting for people who try to explore world history and history of religion. Thanks a lot our guide David and driver Hamik!
Great tour!
Super interesting with the right amount of time for each stop. Very well organized. Many thanks to our excellent guide Airpin.
Suggested for the 1st day trip in Armenia.
Today is my first day in Yerevan, Armenia with a lovely guide tour, Meline and cool driver, Artur. We went to Voskeni wine, I really love Rose wine here (actually the best ever) and then we had a nice Gata class making in the restaurant closed to Maternal catheter which is delicious as well the lunch. After lunch, we were visited the churches all around and then back to hotel. So, thank you Meline, Artur and Hyur tour.
Sardarbad and more!
Ararat, our driver was amazing. Great driver great service. Highly recommend. It’s definitely worth the trip. Don’t think twice!
