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 !!”

They were really warm, welcoming and the food they served was so fresh.They also let us try their home-made apple vodka and pickled cauliflower. It was amazing! Our tour guides/host, Lilith, Diana and Seryoja were all fantastic hosts as they really made us feel we were at home in their country. It was definitely a fun-filled and gastronomically-full experience! A MUST to book your tour with them!”

“We took the private tour without guide to garni and gerghard. We were already informed about not being able to visit symphony of stones due to weather conditions. Artur was an excellent driver and he navigated the snow filled roads smoothly and ensured we reached the two sites. However on the backend side of the tour, there is room for improvement as we didn’t get clear information whether our tour is entirely on or cancelled due to the weather.”
