A Beautiful Day in Tsaghkadzor & Lake Sevan

QueenaRasia_S, Nov 2025
Today’s tour was an amazing experience. Our guide, Mania, and our driver, Joseph, were both incredibly professional and friendly. We visited the Tsaghkadzor Ropeway and Lake Sevan, and everything was well-organized and smooth. The views were breathtaking, the atmosphere was relaxing, and the whole tour felt memorable. Highly recommended!

United Kingdom Monastery, Ropeway, Lake, and delicious lunch

Habeeb81, Sep 2024
Good and comfortable tour with Huyr company to some monasteries, lake Saven, and amazing ropeway with delicious lunch of fresh salad and fish front of the lake. Beautiful and helpful tour guides and drivers.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

We are very grateful for the nice review! You are always welcome to Armenia!

Remarkable time

GwenReyRussel_M, Aug 2024
I had a truly remarkable time. I was fortunate enough to witness the breathtaking beauty of Armenia from a unique perspective, high above the ground via the ropeway. Additionally, we had the privilege of visiting several historic churches and savored a delightful lunch at the picturesque Lake Sevan. Our knowledgeable guide, Anna, graciously shared with us the rich cultural heritage and fascinating facts about Armenia, which greatly enriched our overall experience.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Your perfect review is much appreciated! We will gladly organize your vacations whenever necessary!

Fun, got burnt

Afina_K, Jul 2024
It was a great tour! The lake was nice and cool but I got super burnt! The sun there is pretty strong so remember to put on sun screen! Also it gets really hot in the bus, I think the AC is blowing at the weakest so the back of the bus gets very hot. The fish was really tasty, pretty boney, look out, but really tasty.

Manya was a great guide with a lovely sense of humour. There was a good measure of ballance between travel and walk. The salads and fruit at lunch were excellent but the fish wasn't so.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thanks a million! We will be glad to host you whenever you decide to visit us again!

Great tour company, highly recommend!

Daniel_G, Apr 2024
Knowledgeable and friendly guide, did the tour in English and Russian. Enough time to enjoy each place without feeling rushed. Great coach and driver with heating and WiFi. Food very good, circa 4000 for everything on the table plus a main meal. Only downside for me was the ropeway only going 1/3 up the mountain rather than the top, and I think it should be advertised as such (n.b. To go to the top would be tight on the timescale, and incur extra fees). All that said, a fair package/price, and whole trip lasted 7.5 hours so back in time for the theatre.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thank you for the review! We will be glad to host you again!

Great food and good experience

KIACHOONG_T, Jan 2024
I loved the great food provided for lunch. Personally, I don't find it easy eating trout because of the bones, but the food was great nevertheless. I didn't ski but still enjoyed the Tsaghkadzor Ropeway ride which was fun. Kecharis Monastery was beautiful. The trip was so much better with WiFi access inside the bus.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thank you so much for your excellent review! Hope to meet you during our tours again!

our tour guide had the perfect information on the monasteries to keep us locked & informed. her way of explaining was brief, to the point, and interesting. the trout bbq was amazing! loved lake sevan. it was rainy and too cold to enjoy the water, but overall experience was amazing. we were given enough & more time for every stop to ensure all was seen and enjoyed.

DAnt, Sep 2017
1 We travelled as a family of four 2 adults and 2 kids. 2 Trip was well organised and very enjoyable due to the services of our guide Karine. 3 Lunch at Sevan lake was very scenic. But felt that it was over priced for what we were served. 4 As the total trip was only 7 hours, felt a little hurried.

Ryan_B, Aug 2017
It was interesting, but I'd prefer if they included entrance fees in the tour price (I'd pay more booking online ahead of time, so I have to carry less cash around).

viagem FANTASTICA E SURPREENDENTE

eva_n, Sep 2023
amei a visita aos 3 mosteiros mas o que gostei imenso foi o LAGO SEVAN e o passeio de barco! o teleferico achei perigoso pois na parada quase cai…. mas do resto me encantei com tudo especialmente os guias TODOS

Muito obrigado pela sua excelente avaliação! Esperamos encontrá-lo novamente durante nossos passeios!

Eugene_V, Oct 2017
Экскурсия была омрачена совершенно непрофессиональным поведением гида. Когда группа прибыла в Цахкадзор, то канатная дорога была закрыта, но затем, когда местные работники увидели, что можно заработать деньги, т.к. было много людей , желающих поехать по канатной дороге, то они сказали, что всё в порядке, только сиденья немного мокрые. Мы сели, и когда стали подниматься, то наверху был сильнейший дождь и град.Естественно они знали об этом, но желание заработать деньги превыше моральных устоев. Гид также должна была знать, что если внизу мелкий дождь, то наверху он значительно сильнее, но не сочла нужым предупредить людей. Все, кто поехал по канатной дороге вымокли до нитки и замёрзли. Переодеться было не во что, и люди были вынуждены купить одежду в магазине, куда нас завезли возможно, это было спланировано заранее. Естественно было потрачено много времени на покупку в принципе не нужной, но необходимой на тот момент одежды. Я и мой муж простудились и всё наше путешествие было испорчено.
