“Nektar is an amazing guide ! She's dynamic, and cares about every person on the van. I didn't feel bored at all during the tour. I loved the part when she sang inside the monastery, that was fabulous ! I did not however like the meal in the restaurant that was picked, the vegetarian one was very bland. The lavash sandwich was super fun to make though !!”

“The places we visited were really beautiful and totally worth to see! I couldn’t say which one we loved more, everything was amazingly interesting! This tour takes the main places that everybody should visit when traveling in Armenia. Besides, we spent our day with Levon and he was truly the best. He left us take our own time in each place as we wanted, he kindly took great photos, he was a good driver and he also shared great cultural curiosities with us. More than this, he was checking on us all the time and we could see that he really wanted to make us feel comfortable and enjoy the…”

“This review comes straight from heart. When I booked this tour I had no idea that I am going to meet this amazing person Mr Ruben. He took care of us like a family. He was proud of the Armenian culture and gave us flavour of it in the short span we spent together. Not only he took us to places told us about the history and cultural importance but he was always around us like we were his family. We do not speak Armenian or Russian and he doesn't speak English but we trust me on this we spoke non-stop on various topics . Armenia is home to me…”
