Long trip, but efficiently managed. Knowledgeable guide Mariana. If you like off the beaten path medieval monasteries, this is the trip for you...

Our guide (Hyke?) was absolutely impressive — he speaks fluently in three languages, including English, which is not easy to find in Armenia. He was very knowledgeable and shared so many interesting facts and insights throughout the tour. The trip was well organized, and we visited many beautiful places. Due to some issues on the road, we had to skip two planned stops, but they were replaced with great alternatives, so the experience still felt complete. The images and views along the way were wonderful.

Haghpat is beautiful and the caves and it's history are amazing. Aramyants castle is not a castle it's a mansion. Out driver and tour guide was amazing. The history and a little poetry was amazing. Be aware this is a very long tour but with beautiful scenery

Amazing long day a worthy experience. Garik our driver was very safe and experience driver. He drives slower than most locals and very safe. Our guide was Karen and he is very knowledgeable with a great singing voice. Amazing commentary during the drive and on site. He’s very helpful and made sure most guests are enjoying the experience. Great English very neutral accent - easily understandable. The sites visited especially the monasteries were great. If you like architecture and history the monasteries were great filled with history. The lunch place was amazing with great views of the gorge and the food was great very tasty. Amazing friendly staff very attentive. There’s a few stops or break to and from the sites so you will have time to stretch and get a break from a long day of driving. The great thing is they provide cold water so if it’s hot outside or tired from the sightseeing there’s free cold water. We started on time at 9am and arrived back at 10pm a very long and fulfilling day trip.

Z-P caves and the mountains in the area were spectacular. Having lunch at the restaurant looking down the mountains was so delightful that I thought I was in paradise. Karen and the driver were top notch.

Haghpat and Sanahin ooze emotion and status - important sites for hundreds of years. Both in spectacular locations. Artistry, story telling, beauty.
