Visit Armenia from Tbilisi for UNESCO monasteries, Soviet sights, mountain views, and a generous homemade Armenian lunch.

“We joined Gamarjoba Tours for a day trip to Armenia after first taking their wine-tasting tour, which we loved so much that we immediately booked another experience with them. Once again, everything was excellent. Our guide, Anna, was incredible. Her English was excellent, and the way she explained everything was clear, engaging, and very informative. She provided exactly the right amount of information — never too much, never too little — and always kept the group in a positive and enjoyable atmosphere. She had wonderful energy throughout the entire day. I attended with my mother, and we both enjoyed the tour immensely. The schedule was well planned and followed precisely.…”

“The tour was organised by Hyur services & tour guide tried his best from explaining the history behind the monuments we covered, however the Resturant they selected for our lunch was pathetic (still an understatement), staff was very rude, screaming yelling at all the guest looked bizarre. From the food to the service all poor, chaotic, unorganised. She did not even apologised after misbehaving with guests. Never ever had such experiences before, disappointed, otherwise lake Sevan an amazing 🤩 experience, very beautiful.”

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 tour was overall enjoyable and well-organized. We appreciated the cold complimentary water and the excellent AC in the car, which made the ride comfortable. Our guide, Anna, was very friendly and spoke good English. The food offered during the tour was both tasty and reasonably priced. However, the time distribution at the stops felt a bit uneven - some places were rushed while others dragged on. Our driver, Armen, drove a bit aggressively at times.”
