We had a great experience. The tour guide was very informative and we had many opportunities to stop on the drive to take photos and try some fresh lavash bread. Geghard was very crowded and amenities are not great, so better to use bathroom before travelling there. Garni was also excellent as well as the gorge which looks like the organ pipes. Tour was not rushed at all.

Beno was an excellent driver and the van we had was first class. Nectar was a fantastic tour guide. Very knowledgeable, very engaging and great English. I learned a lot and saw some beautiful sights and great scenery.

We booked it last minute and the driver picked us up from the hotel lobby. He didn’t speak much English, but he tried and he made the experience very pleasant.
We enjoyed the sites and loved the “gata” cakes he recommended.
Altogether it took around 4 hours, and it was just what we needed.
Thanks again to our driver, he was one of the nicest people we met in our trip to Armenia.
