Reviews of tourists about tours in Armenia

I took it for two (for myself and my son). It turned out to be expensive, but endlessly interesting; we were simply overwhelmed with impressions. We rode both at a trot and at a gallop. The horses are obedient, not timid, and confidently prance even along the edge of the gorge. I highly recommend this excursion! This is probably the best thing we had in Armenia!

I took part in the New Year’s tour of sunny Armenia from December 31, 2021 to January 7, 2022. It is difficult to describe all the impressions in a few words, but for those who are traveling to Armenia for the first time (as happened to me), the proposed program is the best option to get to know the country, its antiquities, modern life and, of course, gastronomic discoveries! The program is very rich, but not overloaded, history, culture, nature and active recreation - there is a time and place for everything. At the same time, there remains enough free time for theaters, museums, shopping, and just walking around Yerevan! Therefore, I recommend it to everyone! I express my special gratitude to our charming muse of the entire tour - guide Varsenik for his professional tact, friendliness and ease of presenting information, and to the wonderful driver Ashot for the clarity and coherence of all our road logistics. Each season has its own specifics, this year the winter turned out to be very mild and warm (at least during our stay in Armenia), the only circumstance that made it a little difficult to get to know this or that interesting place was the simultaneous presence of several large tourist groups. This brought some fuss, but you need to understand that on holidays this is the case almost everywhere. However, I note that whenever possible, Varsenik tried to separate our group from others, for which I also express special gratitude!)

From December 31 to January 7, 2022, I was in Yerevan (New Year in Armenia 2022). I didn’t regret for a minute that I went. Armenia is a wonderful country. Hospitable, hardworking, friendly people live there. Every day we got acquainted with some sights. Our guide Varsenik and driver Ashot did everything to make us interesting and comfortable. Our dinners should be especially noted: it was very pleasant to feel hospitality in private homes (a master class on making lavash and a wine tasting at Stepanyan’s on January 6). Colorful and atmospheric! Much more interesting than in the city. I wish the company prosperity and well-being, best regards, Lyubov

Good afternoon Celebrated New Year 2022 in Armenia with Barev Armenia. Everything went great! A warm welcome, just an excellent New Year's banquet, gastro dinners, excursions, tour organization at the highest level. The beautiful nature, history and sights of Armenia have forever made me fall in love with this country, I will definitely return to Armenia in the summer. Many thanks for the interesting excursions and stories to our guide Varsenik, as well as to our driver Ashot, they are true professionals in their field

We stayed at the hotel during a trip during the New Year holidays. We really liked the hotel, everything was clean, new, very pleasant staff, the room was cleaned every day in our absence, despite the high occupancy of the hotel, slippers were changed daily, which was surprising. The hotel has a buffet breakfast - there is always a main course, various vegetables, fruits, dairy products, sausages and cheeses. It’s always very varied and tasty, no one limits what you take, and maybe they’ll even bring you coffee, even if you didn’t order it. The only negative was the small number of seats in the dining room, when more vacationers arrived, sometimes you had to wait a little to be seated at the table. But this did not spoil the rest. Overall, we were pleasantly surprised, since at a low price we got a very pleasant, comfortable place, perhaps one of the best hotels in all our trips!

I'm happy with the trip. The work of Varsenik and Ashot is excellent. Varsenik knows how to organize a group of people with different characters and interests well. Friendly atmosphere. An additional bonus to the educational program were dinners and tastings with national flavor. Unfortunately, there wasn’t enough time for the master class (everyone was in a hurry). I give it 5 stars for safety (wonderful driver), although I have some doubts about driving on snowy mountain roads - as a global issue.

We chose this tour spontaneously, deciding that it was better to conquer Armenia during the New Year holidays than a sofa. Well, the pandemic also forced us to consider neighboring countries, which we, as active travelers, put aside for retirement. We were very pleased with the organization of the trip, the tour program, guide Gor Karapetyan, hotel accommodation and New Year's Eve. Well, about everything in more detail: the flight was delayed, we learned about this not on the airport’s online display, but from a message from the manager of Barev Armenia, who wrote that he knew that the flight was delayed, and that they were waiting for us and monitoring the status of our flight. We arrived, we were greeted with a Barev Armeeia sign and taken to the hotel in a comfortable, spacious Mercedes. On the way, the driver gave us directions to the area. The hotel is very comfortable, the room was small, but cozy, warm and with a view of Ararat. Republic Square is a 10-minute walk away. The breakfasts are delicious and varied, the hotel staff are young, friendly girls. We rested a bit and went on a tour of Yerevan. The guide Gor Karapetyan is a very patient, cheerful young man with a sense of humor and encyclopedic knowledge, in love with Armenia. Throughout the tour he looked after us, solved our problems, entertained us on New Year's Eve and told us about Armenia and its attractions in a way that made us fall in love with Armenia. New Year's Eve was organized very well: the program, menu and drinks were beyond praise. I will remember sterlet cooked in tandoor for a long time. It's divinely delicious! In general, lunches were organized in different restaurants and our tour resembled a gastronomic acquaintance with Armenia: always a variety of national dishes, cooking master classes, everything was very tasty and varied. I really liked the shish kebab in the tandoor. We were very pleased with the tour. Now we are making plans for our next visit to Armenia in the warm season to enjoy fresh fruits, not dried ones, which are also delicious in Armenia. Barev Armenia, see you soon! Please accept our sincere gratitude for your work and wishes for success in the new year!

I'm tourist Evgeniya. It was my first time in Armenia. Magnificent Yerevan I am glad to have guests from different countries. Monasteries and tastings, Gastronomic presentations, The most interesting museums, New faces and deep ideas, Beautiful kind people. We will never forget you.

To be honest, I went with some concerns; initially I was inclined towards Georgia. I have heard about it for a long time and often, but about Armenia little and rarely. But it turned out to be one of my best trips (and I travel a lot and often). Cheerful company, rich program, amazing food. Guide Gor is a very easy-going, “problem-free” person, truly passionate about his work. I will talk about Armenia often and a lot. The country is worth visiting. I would like to note separately: I did not warn in advance about some of my dietary restrictions (I only eat poultry and fish from meat), and a chicken (not ordinary) kebab was specially prepared for me on the spot; I arrived and departed NOT on the dates of the planned tour - a transfer to/from the airport was organized for me free of charge(!) Thank you. It was good and fun P.S. I’m a capricious picky person, but in all four parameters (quality, organization, price, safety) I give A’s. You just need to do something about the roads :): sometimes it shook so much that it was impossible to drink coffee on the bus :)
