A small-group Yerevan day trip to Khor Virap, Noravank, and Areni-1 cave, ending with Areni wine tasting and Armenian food.
“The group tour was exceptionally well organized, offering a seamless and enjoyable experience from start to finish. The true highlight was our outstanding guide, Nektar. Her enthusiasm, deep knowledge, and attentive care for each participant transformed the day into something truly memorable. With her engaging storytelling and subtle humor, she created a warm and friendly atmosphere that allowed us to connect effortlessly with our fellow travelers. The lunch and wine tasting at Areni were superb, adding a delightful local touch to the experience. This tour comes with my highest recommendation, and special thanks to Nektar for making it one of the best we’ve ever had. Five stars all the way!”

After crossing the gorge we visited the monastery and ate in a local restaurant (very good food and beer and generous portions) on the way back we stopped at the Shaki waterfalls and in a winery in Areni. All through fantastic landscapes. Excellent organization and kindnesses such as free water and a typical dessert offered. I recommend”

She’s one of the best guides I’ve had in all of my trips! She did an amazing job organizing the group, handling challenging situations, and she did it in such a kind and friendly way, always with a smile and warm vibes. At the end of the tour, it felt like we had been friends for many years. In addition, she is very knowledgeable about Armenia, and happily answered all our questions. The driver was great as well (kind, and drove…”

“I like that the tour was not too jam packed so we didn’t need to hurry in every destination. Our guide, Takuhi (not sure if correct) was very knowledgeable about the place and the history. I was the only one who she interpretted in English and I really did appreciate the effort. She made sure I wasn’t left out. She was really nice and made us all feel welcomed. The tour - I especially loved the funicular in Tsakadzhor in this trip. Wouldn’t want to miss that part when in Armenia. I just wished we could have stopped somewhere with the beautiful trees and take photos.”

“The morning was a lottle big chaotic as the agent on the website keep asking us to wait in front of Spar, but there were people from other company keep asking us to go another place. We were confused as there were multiple cases of scamming happening in Tbilisi all these while. But at the end things solved out and end up we are combining several bookings from different source and depart together. The online agent should know better and communicate better. The guide Paata and the driver did and awesome job today bringing us to explore Armenia. Lake Sevan was awesome but the floor is too slippery during winters…”
