Great tour guide to a beautiful city! - Our tour guide, Tigran was terrific. We saw all the main tourist sites of Yerevan and some hidden ones we would never have found. Tigran was personable, made sure everyone was happy, and shared stories about Armenian culture and customs - dress, dating, manners, etc. - that were fascinating. He's a lovely man - and was great to spend a day with. Don't miss this tour!

History and humor yields unique insights to Yerevan! - What a great opportunity to not only see the city of Yerevan, but also to hear great stories about the Armenian people and the countries history. Galust was an excellent guide and shared unique stories, and history about locations within the city. It was great to get an interesting backstory on many of the places that one might otherwise just walk past. Highly recommend.

An Amazing Introduction to Yerevan - I really enjoyed this tour around Yerevan. Tigran was a really interesting guy to listen to and to chat with. It was my first day in Armenia so I loved being shown all of the amazing places Tigran had chosen. He shared with us a lot of mind-blowing history too. When my girlfriend arrived the following day I had a great head-start as to where we should go. After the tour a small group of us went to a local bar and had a few beers. I'm so happy we had such a nice group of people lead by an amazing guide.
