Reviews of tourists about tours in Armenia

Only now we were able to communicate with the client about the event. All guests, without exception, were very pleased with the trip. We especially highlighted the guide’s work at an ideal level; everyone was absolutely delighted. The only point that clients paid attention to – at the restaurant "Caucasian Captive" the waiters treated the guests harshly… For my part, let me once again thank you for the perfectly organized and executed event for our clients. I hope that our cooperation with you will definitely continue! Thank you!

In November 2015, we vacationed for a week in Armenia thanks to your company. We chose a classic tour of Armenia, with field trips to Tatev, Noravank, and lake. Sevan. I realized that before this trip I knew nothing about Armenia. This is an ancient country with a rich cultural heritage. It's worth traveling to Armenia. On the company’s website, I would like, first of all, to write about the organization of our trip. 1. We were met at the airport on time and taken to the hotel. To be honest, for the first time in an unfamiliar country and after ordering tours on the Internet, I was afraid that they would forget about us, be late or something like that. We were taken back to the airport on time, with comfort and stories about Armenia and Armenians (as without them). 2. Guide. It's a good idea to look for such a guide during the day. Gore, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge about your country for seven days, for your jokes, “interesting facts,” for your attention and kindness. Thank you very much! 3. Driver. You know, after the last impression from Turkey, where every second Schumacher driver is a driver. and drives along the serpentine road, like on a highway, the driver Ashtar (I hope she didn’t mix up the letters in her name) seemed like a guardian angel to us. He drove me where I needed to go without any problems, picked me up, told stories over lunch and dinner, played Armenian folk songs and Irina Allegrova. Special thanks too! 4. Selection of hotels and restaurants for dinner and lunch. Excellent choice! I have never experienced such a gastronomic paradise in any country/city. We tried all the delicacies of Armenian cuisine. 5. Armenia itself. A beautiful country with beautiful and kind people. We really enjoyed your stay. P.S. I wrote a blog post about Armenia in more detail, specifically about my trip from the tour operator Barev Armenia

We have never been to Armenia before. We found the Barev company page by searching in Ynadex. I immediately liked the fact that the tour managers promptly and competently responded to the request and further correspondence. We chose an excursion tour with a holiday in Sevan. I was impressed by the image of the country: warm, hospitable and very beautiful, with ancient history and culture, excellent cuisine - but how hot it is!!! I was pleasantly surprised by the Paris hotel - everything was top notch. An ugly hotel on Lake Sevan Harsnakar - especially in contrast to everything else. Everything is bad except the lake itself - rude staff, dirt and lack of basic things in the room, terrible restaurant - dirt and practically no breakfast, dirt on the beach... in general, I strongly recommend removing it from the list of your partners to avoid conflicts in the future . Many thanks to our curators for quickly rescuing us from there! Your employees are top notch. Extremely professional - guide Ruben is unique in his breadth of knowledge, driver Mihran is a virtuoso behind the wheel in a good, reliable car – just what you need on mountain roads. Apart from the hotel mentioned, everything was excellent - clean, tasty, interesting and comfortable. Very tasty and plentiful - we will miss you... Yes, we will definitely recommend your company to our friends and acquaintances!

Guiding is sharing... experience, knowledge, enthusiasm, moments, roads, sunsets and sunrises, flights of the soul! Guiding is being in the same places for many times, but feeling in a very different ways each time with each group! Guiding is being proud, being in love with your country, being one of the smallest, but for the same time the brightest part of your land, culture, history! Guiding is not only showing churches, food, sights. Guiding is even showing the ugly truth and telling sad stories of the past and being excited about the unknown future. Guide doesn't have tourists, guides have guests and friends in the end. Guiding: being the zipped version of your land !!!

As long as I go to Jermuk as a tourist, I will stay here for as long as I can! Perfect place. Friendly staff, the owner of the hotel is a true master of his craft, he will help and advise you in everything. Very comfortable rooms with stunning views. I really love this place.

Today we had the pleasure of reaching Aragats (south summit 3879 m and west summit 4010 m). Full of admiration and respect of this mythical and impressive mountain and the hospitality of the Armenian people!

This strange city does not let go. Like an old photograph, like a painting under a layer of dust, where black can turn into color, and color into black. Alive. And that is why there is a very acute feeling of one’s foreignness. You stand like a scarecrow between ten hairdressers, and you realize that you will never choose the right door. This makes me a little uncomfortable. This is what happened to me in Italy: after a noisy, open Rome, where the owner of the shop first tried to explain the way, and then “locked” him. our shop with a chair to lead a clueless pregnant woman to the right intersection, we ended up in Florence. In two Florences: one was bristling with maps and stood out so sharply against the background of the locals, as if we had all been dipped into a bucket of green paint when getting off the bus. The second, the real one, meandered through the narrow streets, fed the cats fish, placed trays of vegetables on the sidewalk, hung striped mattresses from the windows, took the children to school, and smiled welcomingly. And somehow it was immediately clear that becoming one even for love would never work out. But there is one huge difference from those Italian experiences. This is the feeling that in fact there is no other Gyumri other than the one that was destroyed a generation ago. The living city is a transparent drawing on top of a torn photograph. People without houses, houses without people. It's so impossible. Open a marriage agency and bring them together until their legs fall off to dance. Although I don’t dance, my mother still has the ballroom book. Strange, unexpected layout of the center, these straight streets intersecting at right angles, sometimes suddenly climbing steeply upward. And the resistance of a separate building: in defiance of the neat square of the yard, a house suddenly stands at an angle, behind the entrance door a staircase runs steeply into the sky - as if into another dimension. In some places, houses that are already familiar to the eye straddle each other and the topography - and this looks more like a challenge. Abandoned locked yards. Signs from the past. Trying to fix the present. Several thousand people are homeless. And bewilderment: is the power in stones, in the past, in symbols? It's just food, a living wage. Without a person, all this is meaningless. And it is incredibly difficult for a person without a roof over his head to isolate himself from the darkness. This scar will one day become so old that it will no longer pull and attract the attention of girls. And the city, of course, will be rebuilt. Creation and opposition are two winds that blow through you at the crossroads of the old city. Maybe that's why he is still incredibly handsome, despite... And very sobering: like an echo from a well into which you did not shout.

Good afternoon, Barev Armenia! On behalf of our entire family and on my own behalf, I thank the company “Barev Armenia” for a perfectly organized tour for our family from August 8 to August 22, 2015. We express special gratitude for the professionalism, attention and care of Siranush Sahakyan, who planned and organized our holiday in full accordance with our wishes at a high level. We really liked the excursion program; we saw a lot of new and interesting things in Armenia. We thank our guide Gor Karapetyan for interesting excursions, attention to clients and professionalism. We also thank our driver Arayik, who overcomes the mountain roads of Armenia with great skill and ease; with him we felt completely safe. We really enjoyed the lunches that were included in our excursion service (a rural house in Areni near David and the Tsovatsots restaurant in Sevan). Hotel "Paris" in Yerevan, where we stayed, we really liked it: spacious comfortable rooms, good air conditioning, excellent location and delicious breakfasts. And, of course, thank you for your stay at the “Armenia” sanatorium. in Jermuk, which we are absolutely delighted with. We liked the Jermuk resort itself and, of course, the Armenia sanatorium. Excellent food, comfortable rooms, attentive staff, good treatment – everything was just great! The sanatorium has created a real resort atmosphere, allowing you to relax and unwind. We had a very good rest and improved our health, we will definitely recommend the “Armenia” sanatorium. and Jermuk resort to our friends and clients. We definitely plan to return again and again! Thank you very much for your work and attention to us! Success and prosperity to your company!!!

Today for the first time in my life I was in the house-museum of Sergei Iosifovich Parajanov. Yes, Clara, I know, but better late than... you know, never. Why did I put it off? Leave me alone. Better listen. Do you know that he knew Updike? With John, who wrote "Rabbit, Run" and "Centaur". I swear to you. John even gave him his self-portrait, but Parajanov made a collage out of it. That's right, he took Updike's self-portrait and painted it in his own way, damn him! Did you know that his collages have incredible mystical powers? All you have to do is stand next to them and not even look at them, and some superpower of art pours out (yes, pours out) onto you. I didn’t believe it either, Clara, I, too, laughed at others like you. This is the strangest house museum in the world. Because he didn't live there. I don’t know why they called it a house-museum. Although, no, I know. He still lives there. I guarantee it.

We recently returned from Armenia, where our family of 5 spent 9 wonderful and memorable days. We would like to say a big thank you to the entire team of the travel company "Barev Armenia" for the good organization and conduct of our trip around the country, as well as personally to the tour manager Satina, tour guide Gor Karapetyan and driver Mihran! Gor and Mihran, with whom we traveled directly around Armenia, are attentive, kind and sensitive people, high professionals in their field. Thanks to them, we discovered a beautiful country with a huge historical past, deserving deep respect, and a good modern present, with wonderful picturesque landscapes of mountains and plains, a beautiful capital - Yerevan and friendly residents. We were struck by Gore's erudition and knowledge of all issues, despite his very young age. He knows how to captivate with his interesting story and charge his tireless energy and warmth. Thanks to Gor, we fell in love with Armenian songs and playing the duduk. We really liked everything we saw and heard during the excursions! After the trip we are filled with positive impressions and kind memories of Armenia! Thanks to the hospitable country and all the wonderful people we had the opportunity to meet and get acquainted with there! Best regards, group from Kazakhstan.
