Reviews of tourists about tours in Armenia

Just returned from a gastronomic tour of Armenia. Filled with the brightest impressions! In addition to the luxurious feasts (otherwise it is difficult to name the lunches and dinners that were organized for us), we saw, heard and felt the soul of Armenia. The wonderful guide of our group, Garnik Mirzoyan, shared with us his love for this beautiful country and his pride in its difficult fate. The history of the country sounded unusually fascinating from the lips of this intelligent, charming young man. And I would like to express special gratitude to the driver of our group, Vage, for a safe and comfortable trip. We really hope that we will visit Armenia more than once, and Garnik and Vage will give us new wonderful impressions.

Dear friends! We had a wonderful time with representatives of your company on the Armenia-Georgia tour since September 12 of this year. The work of our guides in Armenia and Georgia was excellent! Their professionalism and clarity are beyond praise. We have only one suggestion for similar future tours: either the Sergei Parajanov Museum in Yerevan should be included in the tour, or we recommend that tourists arrive a day earlier in Yerevan and visit this wonderful museum on their own. Thank you!!!

Good afternoon We spent enough time selecting a country and a tour to spend a week in a warm, sunny place with benefit and pleasure. We stopped on a gastronomic tour to Armenia, and didn’t regret it at all! From the very moment we left the arrival hall of Yerevan airport until the farewell to the same airport, we were surrounded by such care and a desire to help that we did not expect, and in general we rarely met anywhere. The tour is designed very competently - there are no long journeys and a not too tiring program (three or four key attractions per day), with thoughtful meals in the most comfortable conditions - dinner in the Yerevan tavern right next to the stage with a folk ensemble and dancers, lunches in cozy gardens and courtyards under trees (sometimes right with apples and pears) overlooking mountains and valleys, a closed terrace overlooking Lake Sevan (it was cool and rainy, but the lake was in full view), Amelie’s home living room with the best table service! Those. Meal from a need to gain strength turned into a holiday and an unforgettable event with pleasant conversations and impressions. I won’t talk much about the food - I really liked everything we tried. Food in Armenia is something, you have to try it!!! Every day we tasted something new, so we got a broad understanding of the national cuisine. The wine is tasty and easy to drink, I also really liked the fruit vodka (60%) and was a great drink, especially on cool days. Now about the most important thing - I want to say special words of gratitude to our guide Garnik and driver Vaha for that week of real rest, when we could relax and just have fun, starting from the always clean and very comfortable car, a carefully prepared bottle of water in the seat feeder, neatly laid suitcase in the trunk and ending with extraordinary stories about the history of Armenia, about its life past and present, about its nature and weather. All this in Garnik’s positive, cheerful manner with jokes, jokes and funny stories. It is felt that these people love their country very much and are proud of it, and we fell in love with it too. Armenia is different: sometimes sunny, sometimes rainy; sometimes yellow, sometimes green, sometimes blue and gray (that’s how Sevan greeted us); sometimes very close to the sky and clouds (in the mountains), sometimes hiding in gorges and spreading out in valleys - I was impressed, although I already travel quite a lot and have seen a lot of things. The monasteries and fortresses are original, located so picturesquely that they take your breath away. Garnik is a very interesting, erudite storyteller. I liked that on many issues he offers several points of view, while clearly justifying the one he considers the most probable. And, of course, everything Armenian is the best and most beloved (by the end of the tour, I already thought so myself :-)). Performed by Garnik, we listened to beautiful poems by Armenian and Russian poets about Armenia (especially creepy on mountain roads), and in the car we listened to national music, which was simply mesmerizing. I want to thank Vahe separately - I don’t really like long car trips, but here everything was beyond praise - he quickly and comfortably delivered us to our next destination, very carefully dropping us off in the most convenient places and meeting us in full readiness to hit the road, charmingly smiling. If Garnik is an excellent student and a winner of Olympiads in biology, language and history (??? - maybe geography - I’ve already forgotten)))) and plays excellent table tennis (which we personally saw when we left for a circuit tour from Yerevan), then Vahe turned out to be a real champion in freestyle wrestling (a whole family dynasty). I want to wish happiness, health, LOVE and all kinds of prosperity to our Garnik and Vaha, as well as prosperity to Barev Armenia and their partner-friends, who also helped make this tour magical and unforgettable. I want to wish Armenia a bright and peaceful future, may your country only become more beautiful and stronger, and may ordinary people (they are already kind, cheerful and friendly) become a little richer))) Thank you very much! P.S. As you already wrote in one of your reviews, I ask you to give Garnik and Vaga a bonus for such a well-run tour! )))

I would like to thank our guide Roland for such an amazing immersion into the history of Armenia, the beauty of this wonderful country!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was impossible not to fall in love with these places!!! I advise everyone to visit Armenia, you will get an unforgettable experience pleasures and fantastic emotions!!! Special thanks to our driver Arko for our safety and peace of mind on the roads!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is very important when visiting a particular country for the first time that your wishes come true and your first experience is successful. The journey was successful when you experience joy and warm feelings when remembering it, and the desire to return would prove this. The first impression is always the strongest and consists of many components, one of which is the representative of the welcoming party - the guide. Armenia greeted us with beautiful weather, the beauty and originality of the city and Roland, our guide: an energetic, friendly, charming young man who knows the history of his people very well, filled with patriotism and sincere love for his country. It should be noted that throughout our stay in both Armenia and Georgia we were accompanied by an experienced driver, a high professional in his field, Ashot: the kindest, sweetest, most modest person, always ready to help and support. Thanks to these wonderful people, in a few days our group first turned into a team of like-minded people, and then we finally became good friends and close people. The magic of the Georgian guide, Manana, could not have happened here. This amazing woman, with her beauty, charm, kindness, subtle humor and absolute love for her country and people, captivated us all and finally completed the process of falling in love with both Armenia and Georgia. It was very difficult to leave, but the more sadness and tears filled our hearts, the stronger the desire to return here again. Thanks to you, I discovered two heavenly places for myself on Earth, Armenia and Georgia, with their pristine beauties of mountains and rivers and hospitable people, and found new, good friends. Let me express my general gratitude and delight for the tour, noting that I really wanted to visit the Museum of the Armenian Genocide, but due to our busy schedule, we were not able to do this. Please accept the wishes of prosperity and increasing friendship between our peoples. We left, but our hearts remained with you...

Hello, travel lovers! We would like to share our impressions with you. My wife and I took an individual tour from June 16 to June 23, 2018. A good impression starts with a great view from the airplane window. Upon arrival early in the morning: customs, luggage, transfer, currency exchange, check-in - all without problems. And then 7 days of a very rich and interesting program. Thanks to manager Enise. It is useless to talk about unique historical places and amazing nature. You have to see it with your eyes, walk it with your feet and drive 1500 km. There were a lot of impressions. The wine and gastronomic part of the tour is still in my memory and in my home bar, but after the tour I had to go on a diet. Thank you very much to your staff for everything. Roland Tmoyan and Aro Vardanyan are professionals in their field and simply sincere people. I must say that during our entire stay in Armenia, we felt at home. There are friendly people and warm hospitality everywhere. We wish the wonderful travel agency "Barev Armenia" further creative success and expansion in the tourism services market. Friends, I am not campaigning, I advise you to visit Armenia at least once in your life. P.S. We plan to return to Armenia in 2019. Always drawn to good things.

We would like to thank you for a wonderful tour! Starting from the meeting at the airport, everything was organized simply wonderful - polite and experienced drivers, excellent hotels, interesting excursions, food - Armenian cuisine is something incredible! Before visiting you, we couldn’t even imagine how many exciting places there are in Armenia! Very friendly attitude, they told us “You are not tourists, but guests with us.” And so it was! The program was very eventful, I would like to thank our driver Melik for his experience and professionalism, we were on time everywhere and were completely calm about our safety. I would also like to note that all entrance tickets and excursions were included in the price of the tour; we did not pay anything additional, except alcohol and souvenirs, of course))). Special thanks to our guide Roland Tmoyan, who amazed us with his encyclopedic knowledge, sparkling humor and sincere love for his country. In just a few days, he managed to literally make us fall in love with Armenia; it was incredibly interesting and informative. He did not just report historical facts, but did it so artistically, as if we ourselves were participants in the events. During the moves, he played Armenian music for us, told us jokes - in general, we were never bored. Thank you, Roland! You are a very sincere and bright person! We are taking a piece of the Armenian sun to cloudy St. Petersburg and will advise all our friends and acquaintances to come to Armenia!

There are four of us and we traveled for 7 days around Armenia in a group of six people, accompanied by guide Ruben Hovsepyan and driver Vagi. On the way from the airport we realized how lucky we were with our guide. He immediately tried to make our mood festive and upbeat, and as we saw more and more beauties every day: mountains with snow-capped peaks, waterfalls, alpine meadows, ancient monuments and temples, a cave city, a monastery carved into the rocks, a lake Sevan, we tasted many national dishes and hospitable hosts, tasted delicious wine - the degree of our mood and delight grew higher and higher! Thank you very much to Ruben, who managed to show us all this beauty professionally and with great love! One could only be amazed at the breadth and depth of his knowledge. Thank you for your care and attentive attitude towards each of us! We also want to thank our driver Vagi! Every day, from morning to evening, our lives were in his strong and confident hands. We took off to mountain passes, circled along serpentines, descended into valleys and were completely calm. All we could do was admire Armenia! And, of course, we thank “Barev Armenia Tour” and "Old Town" for the warm welcome and efficient organization of the tour! Thanks everyone! Armenia we fell in love with you!

It was our first time in Armenia; we knew almost nothing about it. During the week of travel, we truly fell in love with this country. Cozy streets of Yerevan, majestic monasteries, unimaginably beautiful mountains, hospitable and helpful people, very tasty food, Armenian music, all this will remain in our hearts forever. A special thank you to our guide Ruben Hovsepyan, a true professional and simply a good person, for his encyclopedic knowledge, for his sincere desire to introduce us to the history and culture of the country, which he told us about with love, warmth and a great sense of humor. Special thanks to our driver Vagi, a master of his craft. Thanks to him, our journey was comfortable and tireless. The tour was brilliantly organized. Thanks to the tour operator Barev Armenia. We will definitely recommend your company to friends and family!

There are 16 of us in the group. We are from different cities. And we ourselves are very different :). All of us are in Armenia for the first time. Everyone expected something special from the trip... But what we felt and received this week exceeded all our expectations! "Yes Kez sirumem, Armenia!" From the first day we were surrounded with such care and attention! Hotels, restaurants, guest houses and a picnic against the backdrop of mountains and flowering meadows - everything is excellent! A large and interesting program... We managed to do everything, although we were very often distracted by the fabulous beauty of spring flowers (well, it’s impossible to drive past a huge field of poppies :)), once again we were asked to stop in front of the living pictures of mountains, gorges, valleys.. Thank you for your patience and professionalism to our driver Ashot! And a little more luck: Roland Tmoyan introduced us to Armenia. Thank you from all of us, Roland! We looked at your country, its amazing ancient history and today through your incredibly reverent attitude towards Armenia... And the amount of information received in a week will bring us mentally back to Armenia for a long time. Roland is a talented historian, scientist, researcher, artist :) with an amazing sense of humor... We got so much beauty, sincerity and simple everyday joys in just a week! We got acquainted with Armenia. With its birth story, with suffering and joy... with unique beauty: a mountain article; bright warm multicolor; eyes from the bas-reliefs of ancient temples; the voice of the duduk, folk songs, wind in the mountains, water in waterfalls, the ringing of a bell in Etchmiadzin. Wings of Armenia! Like a proud bird soaring just below the clouds above the arches of Tatev. And the soul is the people of Armenia! Thank you!
