Reviews of tourists about tours in Armenia

Our fabulous trip around Armenia is over! In terms of feeling, atmosphere, joy and intellectual component, this was our best trip! All guides "Barev Armenia" not just professionals, but joyful, enthusiastic people, charging with their energy and love for their country. Their wonderful, respectful relationship with each other, without any competition, is amazing. This is because the main thing for them is to show their beautiful country to their tourist guests. There is no formalism in their work. We were happy to expand the already very interesting program. Gore, Roland - you are wonderful, funny! But our Tatev is just Sunshine! Thank you Tatev for the trip, which turned into a wonderful holiday! You are super!!! We will definitely come back to you! To the authors and organizers of the "May Holidays" tour - our admiration! Everything: the program, hotel selection, meals, transportation - top notch!

Всему коллективу Barev Armenia большое спасибо за отлично проделанную работу! Программа тура "Майские праздники в Армении 2017", которой мы воспользовались в период с 29 апреля по 5 мая, была выполнена на "отлично"! Так могут работать только профессионалы. Спасибо турменеджеру за оперативно предоставленную информацию о туре и за совет посетить Дилижан. Спасибо нашему гиду Роланду за его "живописные" рассказы об Армении: ее истории, традициях, культуре. Роланд был не просто нашим гидом, а членом нашей экскурсионной группы. Его положительная энергия и его любовь к Армении передалась всем нам. Спасибо нашему водителю Геворгу за его аккуратное и профессиональное вождение. И, между прочим, всегда был в белой рубашке и в галстуке. Это было очень приятно). Barev Armenia - так держать!

Many thanks to the organizers of the Armenia-Georgia tour. The program is well designed. The only annoyance is the absence of a visit to Etchmiadzin in the program. Perhaps this is due to the pre-Easter week. I would like to express my deep gratitude to the guides - Gora and Minana. These are top-class professionals, with a huge amount of diverse knowledge, speaking correct and beautiful Russian. Our safety was guaranteed and ensured by the driver Ashot, a super specialist, a jeweler in his field. All hotels were very decent, cozy and comfortable. Food is a special ode to taste, variety and freshness. In a word - everything is very great. Thank you!

The tour went simply wonderful, as in the Russian proverb - “without a hitch.” Your guys, Gor and Araik, worked for the big five with a huge plus. No hitches or misunderstandings. I have the most pleasant impressions of them both as people and as professionals in their field. And of course, Armenia itself is unique, full of historical heritage, friendly people, delicious food. I would like to come back again, which we probably will. Good luck to your company and further development.

“I bow my head before your antiquity. And I kiss your beauty on your scarlet lips... Country-flint, country-diamond, country-dream! These poetic lines of Gorodetsky do not leave my head after visiting your beautiful country. Having recently returned from Armenia, we already miss the country that enveloped us in warmth. And all this became possible thanks to the high professionalism of your company’s employees. Gore and Arayik opened Armenia to us, showing us its pearls, opening the pages of its centuries-old history. Thanks to them for their warm hospitality. And I would especially like to note Gore’s professionalism and his inexhaustible positive energy. Svetlana and Marina. Nizhnevartovsk

Dear Barev Tour managers, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the excellent organization of the March Armenia tour (March 7-12). Everything was just wonderful: the program, hotels, food, transportation. I would like to convey special gratitude to your wonderful guide Gor Karapetyan, who not only talks fascinatingly about the sights, but also communicates well with people. I hope that I will be able to make other trips with you. Gore said that he leads hiking tours in the mountains, I would like to know more about this, because it is this type of tourism that my son, the same age as Gore, is interested in.

...and it’s not only and not so much a matter of geographical location, what warms us first of all is the cordiality, hospitality and goodwill of its inhabitants, the splendor of natural landscapes and, of course, the unique and unforgettable architecture of not only ancient historical monuments, churches, temples and monasteries, but also modern projects (the Yerevan Cascade alone is worth it!). Lately we have visited so many countries, on different continents, and therefore we have something to compare with... We are used to traveling on our own, but this time we joined the group, and not only did not regret the decision, but, taking the opportunity , we would like to express our deep gratitude to the Barev Tour company for the excellent organization of this exciting trip. Everything was thought out to the smallest detail, the group was mobile and valued time, our guide, Lilith, is a true professional in his field, just like the driver Arkady, and his brother Ashot, who replaced him one day. We received great pleasure from the gastronomic program of the tour and from visiting the bins of the Ararat factory... Of course, it is impossible to travel around the whole of Armenia in 5-6 days, but we did not have such a task. We know for sure that we will definitely return here, so when we parted we didn’t say mnas barov (farewell) to Armenia, but only minch nor handipum (until we meet again) and we will wait until we can again say Barev dzez, Armenia, and who will be the guide on our next trip, it’s not hard to guess - Barev Armenia tour company and no one else!

The impressions of the recent winter holiday in Armenia have settled down and I hasten to leave my enthusiastic review. It was my second time in Armenia and I fell in love with it for the second time. And the perfectly organized tour greatly contributed to this. In order - transfer without any complaints in both directions. On time, good cars, polite drivers. The 14th floor hotel became our temporary warm home. The girls at the reception are simply wonderful. Not a single request or comment was left unattended. Always with a smile. Without any additional payments, simply at our request, we were moved from a standard double to a huge two-room family room. On Christmas Day, a festive dinner was arranged for all hotel guests. The tour itself is very rich and thoughtful, trying to cover all the richness of the cultural and religious life of Armenia. A huge hello to our wonderful guide Lilith and driver Arkady. There was a moment that one day the travel agency did not fully fulfill the conditions of the tour - dinner turned out to be without a folklore program. So the next evening the whole group was once again given free dinner in a restaurant with a program. Very revealing. In general, all the lunches and dinners of the tour were in wonderful, colorful, expensive places. Each one was remembered for something special. The travel agency does not skimp on food. Only the weather let us down a little. It’s cold for Yerevan (but regular tastings and Armenian cognac did their job), there is constant haze and snowy fog in the city itself. But in the mountains we enjoyed the warm spring sun To summarize, this was one of the most wonderful trips of my life, I already miss Armenia, its warmth, hospitality, its ancient monasteries, the pink tuff of Yerevan. Tickets for August have already been purchased, I’m looking into the tour. I am sure that this will be the Barev Armenia tour again

At the end of 2016, my friends and I contacted the Barev Armenia company and booked the “New Year in Armenia” tour. And thus, from December 30, 2016 to January 7, 2017, we, in a group of 6 people (4 from Kursk and 2 from Moscow), traveled around Armenia. We learned about the travel agency from the Internet. I liked the site and a lot of positive reviews. The tour is very eventful, interesting and thoughtful; it’s impossible to do more during the New Year’s week. Everything was very clearly organized - from meeting at the airport to transfer to the airport (Mercedes minibus - a comfortable car, silent, clean, almost new). I especially want to thank our guide Irina and driver Arayik. Irina is a beautiful and pleasant girl and simply a wonderful person, the best, undoubtedly the best guide I have ever met. She easily answered all the questions of our curious group. I am simply amazed by her erudition. Fascinating stories about the history of Armenia, architecture, Armenian cuisine and much more. During the trip, in addition to historical stories and legends, she completely supported our good mood. A huge request to the company management to encourage Irina for her excellent work! Although I can’t call it work, since Irina gave us a piece of her soul and during our journey we sincerely became friends. We saw, heard, and tried a lot of interesting things on this trip thanks to our guide, you can’t list them all. Now a few words about the wonderful driver and excellent conversationalist Araik. Arayik jan, thank you very much! With you behind the wheel, we felt completely safe on the winding roads of Armenia. Arayik's experience as a driver allowed us to see the mountains and serpentines, the streets of cities and villages, the amazing beauty that surrounded us everywhere in Armenia. Arayik's subtle humor and good mood helped us on our journey. Arayik also deserves encouragement from management! And I must say that the wonderful atmosphere while traveling by car was complemented by the music of Armenian musicians of various times and styles. Lunch was included in the excursion program every day. I must say that lunch in Armenia is something special. The dishes were never repeated, everything was very tasty. Selection of restaurants for lunch worth 100 points - fresh products, interesting and varied cuisine. Separately, it is necessary to say about the rural restaurants in Areni and Sevan - just a miracle. Oh yes, I almost forgot, the program also included New Year's dinner. In the most interesting establishment Kami Music Club. An amazing evening with live music. There are no words. And thanks to the Barev Armenia company for the additional free wine on our New Year's table!!! During our trip we visited different regions of Armenia. The nature is amazing, views of unreal beauty, museums... we will remember all this forever. I won’t describe the sights, because I won’t be able to do it as beautifully as Irina said, but you’d better come and enjoy it yourself. Personally, our group really wants to come again and again and again!!! Many thanks to the Barev Armenia company and personally to our friends Irina and Araik!!!! P.S. The group that traveled parallel to us had Gor Karapetyan as a guide. So, he is also a wonderful guy and a super guide!!!! Gor, a huge greeting to you from our group! ;)

It’s our first day of work this year, so I’m immediately writing a letter of gratitude to you for my group! Everyone is very pleased with your warm welcome, friendly people and excellent staff (especially the guide)! Everything went great, without any hiccups or glitches. Thank you very much))) The work is smooth, so I will continue to recommend you!
