“Unfortunately this was the second time that we started the tour late with this company. This time the guide slept in. After a few minutes I went outside the bus asking why we‘re not leaving and I was told there was „an accident“ and the guide will be late. I asked them to communicate with the guests and to update them. Didn’t happen. So the guide Vahag had no accident but attended a wedding and slept in.

Explore Garni, Geghard, Symphony of Stones, and Lake Sevan on an affordable guided day trip from Yerevan.

The guide Tigran and driver were good .”
