Beautiful day - The tour fully met our expectations. The guide, very knowledgeable, guided us beautifully in all the places visited and the proposed restaurant for lunch (for a fee, but with really acceptable prices) was much appreciated.

Group tour to Choir Virap, Garni, Gegard - In October 2025 we went on a group excursion to Khor Virap, Azatic reservoir, Gegard, Garni, attended a master class on baking lavash. There's a lot of nice things left. Guide Marina was very interested in telling the story related to all the sights, successfully allocating time to talk about the place and self-exploration. Loved the demonstration of the lavash making process and its tasting. It is nice that after the workshop lunch is organized in the garden. It's beautiful in the autumn in Gegard. We toured the caves of the monastery and took many beautiful photos. The Greco-Roman temple of Garni surprised with unusual architecture. Thanks to driver Araik, driving us very carefully.
