Armenia in November
Alvina Chugay
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 :)

Gratitude from our tourists
Travel agency DIK
We have been regular clients of the travel agency "DIK" since 2016.
We had been planning to visit Armenia for a long time, because we had always been interested in its history, architecture, and nature. The tour did not disappoint expectations; we saw with our own eyes many historical monuments, magnificent landscapes, biblical Ararat, and got acquainted with local traditions and national cuisine. I was pleasantly surprised by the universal knowledge of the Russian language and was amazed by the hospitality and excellent living conditions of our stay. Special thanks to our guide Gor Karapetyan for his high professionalism, as well as artistry and charm. We recommend that everyone who would like to spend time usefully and broaden their horizons visit this wonderful country.
Alexander and Irina, October 2-9, 2021 from “Barev, Armenia”.

Great trip
Elena Mikheeva
Many thanks to Barev Armenia for the excellent Great Beauty tour (October 2-8, 2021). The tour itself is well planned and allows you to fully get to know Armenia in a comfortable rhythm within a week. We were incredibly lucky with the team - the best guide Gor and the best driver Arkady!! )) Gor is a great storyteller and professional, sincerely in love and proud of his country, managed to make us fall in love with Armenia too! Arkady is simply the master of the roads and the car, a super professional in difficult road and weather conditions.
Even natural disasters in the form of rain, fog and snow could not reduce the excellent impression of the tour!! I will definitely recommend you to all my friends and acquaintances!!

Classical Armenia
Alena Terekhova
It was one of the best holidays of my life! The tour program is interesting, rich, and at the same time comfortable and not at all tiring. I think everything is clear about fantastic nature) every day we were accompanied by breathtaking landscapes. Ideal places to stay: quiet, nice and cozy. Everywhere we were met by hospitable, kind people. Our guide Gor was with us - a professional in his field, the best guide in the whole world! He loves his country and gives us tourists a piece of his love. Gor approaches every person with soul and warmth. He talks very interestingly, accessiblely and incredibly funny. No memorized texts that make you want to sleep. I went to Armenia with some health problems, but thanks to Gor's endless help, I was able to see all the beauty and grandeur of this amazing country! He promptly solved my “personal problems” every day. I would like to thank Gor again and again for everything he did for me. GOR, you are in the right place!!! I fell in love with this wonderful country and will definitely return again, only with Barev and Gore)

Great tour and the best guide!
Ekaterina Mukhina
I expected Armenia to be beautiful, but this tour and guide Gor Karapetyan discovered Armenia for us so much that we fell in love with it as if it were our own. The whole group left almost with tears in their eyes. If not in front of our eyes, then in our hearts. I didn’t want to leave so much!!! We had such a good time in Armenia!
The organization of the tour, communication before and during the tour were excellent (Leo, thank you). Hotels within the tour, lunch and dinner venues are carefully selected so that guests can try and see as much as possible to make it comfortable. The tour program is PERFECT. You will be able to see all the most beautiful things in Armenia!
I would especially like to thank our guide Gor Karapetyan and driver Ashot. Professionals in their field with extensive experience.
Gor is so in love with Armenia that we fell in love with it too. It’s so nice when a guide doesn’t just do a job, but wants to show his country in diversity, present it beautifully and interestingly. Gor is a very smart, versatile and erudite person, an amazing guide. Thanks a lot!!!
Now I really want to send my parents to Armenia, on the same tour, I hope everything will work out.
I highly recommend Barev Armenia, the tour, and the wonderful guide Gor!
Barev Armenia, prosperity to your company! Thank you!

I would like to share my impressions of a tourist trip to Armenia from October 3 to October 9, 2019.
Tour "Classical Armenia" organized by the company "BarevArmenia". Everything about the trip was perfect!
Transfer, hotels, food, Tour program - interesting, rich and varied. The most beautiful
mountain landscapes, waterfalls, cave cities, hanging bridges, ancient temples and monasteries,
the longest cable car, original cities and towns and of course the beautiful Yerevan -
all together this is “Classical Armenia”. We were surrounded by care and attention. Special thanks
to the guide Roland and the driver of our Mercedes - Arsen. They made our trip comfortable
spiritually filled and unforgettable. Even the weather favored us: +28-30 during the day, +15-17 at night.
I wish the travel agency "BarevArmenia" Good luck and prosperity.

Незабываемое путешествие
Svetlana Moiseeva
It was impossible to even imagine that a trip to Armenia would turn out to be so extraordinary! We came from different cities of Russia - Moscow, St. Petersburg, Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Rostov, Krasnodar, Vologda... We came just to get to know the country, and as a result we left our hearts in Armenia)) And with our love for this ancient spiritual We owe our rich land to a wonderful person - Roland Tmoyan. From the first words of greeting, he put us at ease, and then easily and naturally introduced the whole group to each other. We have become like-minded people, and now we miss our friendly team.
Every new day, regardless of the weather, became a holiday, thanks to our dear Roland! The deepest knowledge of history, love for one’s land and one’s people, the art of storytelling, the talent of an organizer, and at the same time jokes, humor and ease of communication. Thanks to Roland, Armenia became close, dear and beloved. Thanks also to our wonderful driver Arsen! Thank you to the travel agency for your professionalism!!!

The impressions are wonderful!
Elena Manevich
I want to share my impressions of traveling around Armenia. This was my first trip to Transcaucasia. Seven-day group excursion 6.6 - 13.6. The impressions are wonderful! First of all, a meeting with such an ancient history and culture that “passed through” at school, but it was so far away, dry, almost unreal... And now, that same kingdom of Urartu comes to life, here are the first Christian monuments of almost 2 thousand years ago! The excursion was prepared in such a way that we had time to enjoy the beautiful nature: mountains, landscapes, Lake Sevan - unforgettable! And visit many historical places, monasteries, temples, and how interesting is the pre-Christian monument of Garni... I really liked Yerevan. Dancing musical fountains are a magnificent sight! I watched it briefly once, and then sat in the square for 2 hours and didn’t even notice how the program ended: a fascinating and joyful spectacle. Every day was busy, but we didn’t get overtired; our guide Garnik Mirzoyan and driver Arsen are real professionals. They created a wonderful atmosphere in the group. Garnik spoke so captivatingly, answered questions willingly and showed concern for all members of the group constantly, tactfully and very friendly! We visited the unique cable car in Tatev (it is recorded in the book of records). It was wonderful to walk along the suspension bridge! And then I ordered 3 individual excursions. And I also had great fun: I climbed mountains, took off on a swing over the gorge! I admired the waterfall, hidden among seemingly impassable boulders and stones... And for all this I am grateful to the guide Gevorg Bagdasaryan and the driver Mihran. Their attention, kindness and respect made my trip so wonderful. Special thanks to Arshavir Ghukasyan, an employee of the Barev Armenia Tour company. He was in touch with me all the time, patiently and quickly answered many questions, and selected routes taking into account my interests! Many thanks to Barev Armenia Tour for their professionalism, responsibility and excellent attitude!

Great trip to Armenia
Alexander and Elena
From August 24 to August 30, 2018, we made a small trip around Armenia with the travel agency Barev Armenia Tour. This country gave us an unforgettable experience, made us fall in love with its people, nature, rich history, full of great and tragic moments. During this short time we visited the Tsitsernakaberd Museum in Yerevan, Khor Virap Monastery, Tatev Monastery, Karahunj, Lake Sevan and many other interesting places. Traveling around Armenia you can make a real pilgrimage. In Armenia, on top of everything else, they often speak Russian. The tour is very interesting, very eventful, but not at all tiring.
During our journey, we were accompanied by guide Roland and driver Vahe. It is impossible not to appreciate the high professionalism, intelligence, talent of the organizer, amazing communication skills, tact, and taste of our guide. It was simply a pleasure to talk with an intelligent person who has very extensive knowledge of the history of his country and his people. We were also lucky with the driver. The driver is excellent!
And most importantly – I want to come back again. And whoever has not been to this country yet, we definitely recommend visiting it.

On October 8, my friend and I returned from an amazing trip to hospitable and sunny Armenia. There are a lot of impressions. We are satisfied with everything: the clear organization of the tour, the amazing places we managed to visit, the hotels we stayed in, the delicious and satisfying food, but, most importantly, our wonderful guide - Anahit Karapetyan and the calm, reliable and helpful driver - Melik Melikyan. Our group of 12 people was very grateful to Anahit, who spoke with such passion and love about her country, showed us the most beautiful corners of Armenia, helped us choose souvenirs and gifts, patiently and sincerely answered our many questions and took care of us throughout the entire tour. Many thanks to Barev Armenia Tour for the excellent organization of our trip and the high professionalism of the staff. Elena and Galina.

I would like to thank you and your company for the excellent organization of the “Classical Armenia” tour. Our family is very happy with the trip. We literally fell in love with your country. Everything was very interesting, beautiful and tasty))). We were very lucky with our guide; Ronald Tmoyan is well educated, very knowledgeable, artistic and an excellent organizer. From disparate travelers, he somehow very easily gathered us into a single group in which everyone felt comfortable and interested in each other. The only thing we regret is that time flew by so quickly and we didn’t have time to see everything. We will be glad to return to you again.
Thank you very much for our wonderful vacation. We will recommend your company and Ronald to our friends.

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!

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.

Galina, Elena
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!

Great trip to Armenia
Elena and Irina
Good afternoon.
First, I want to say thank you to the tour manager: he answered all my “259 questions” that I asked, trying to learn more about the tour.
Selecting a trip.
When choosing a trip, we were guided by the fact that my sister and I had only one valid international passport, and we had already traveled a lot around Russia. One of my friends advised me to go to Armenia. We found the tour operator “Barev Armenia” and read the reviews. Well, we decided to go to Armenia with this tour operator.
Now about the trip itself.
Trip “Classical Tour to Armenia” from April 10 to 16.
When choosing a trip, we were a little apprehensive:
• after all, another country that we have never been to;
• for the last few years I have only traveled on individual tours (for two people) and traveling with a group, albeit small, but for 6 whole days, raised certain concerns.
I’ll say right away that none of my fears came true, except for the weather: sometimes I had to use a lot of warm clothes. But it was in the mountains. What kind of complaints can there be???
I won’t talk about the tour itself and the places: everything is in the Classic Tour program. One thing is for sure - it was very interesting and there were many beautiful places. I'll tell you a little about the people, the attitude, the service.
Thanks to the driver who carried out our transfer from the airport and then back: he met us at the airport and took us to the hotel, and then back. Everything was clear, on time, there were no unnecessary worries on our part.
The hotel in Yerevan “Cascade” is located near the Cascade itself, in fact, in the very center of Yerevan. We liked the hotel. Hotels in other cities were also good.
Everything was fine during the excursion program. The group turned out to be very good, the guide and driver are wonderful people, professionals who love their job. Gore is an excellent guide and Arkady is a driver, thanks to whom we enjoyed a calm road.
The car we used for the main tour was a Mercedes Sprinter.
On the road, every day there were 1-2 bottles of water of 0.5 liters per person. Water “met” us in the car every day.
The tour, indeed, is designed so that those coming to Armenia for the first time can get to know it as widely as possible: the sights, traditions, cuisine and, of course, the people!
In principle, at any point on our trip, to a greater or lesser extent, we could easily communicate in Russian, which is very convenient. Armenians are very hospitable.
We women had no difficulties lifting heavy suitcases: the Armenian men who were nearby always helped.
Many thanks to our guide - Gor Karapetyan. This is a man who helped me get acquainted with a beautiful country. He showed miracles of attentiveness to us and a very warm attitude. He told me a lot, a lot of interesting things, and his advice on choosing a photographic angle, as well as filming ourselves on our fucking phones, deserve special attention. In addition, he did not leave us without his support even after the end of the tour: we stayed for another 3 days of independent walks in Yerevan.
However, this whole trip, and all those who organized and conducted it (we definitely take into account the drivers!) deserve special gratitude.
To illustrate, I would like to give a few examples:
1). In our group there was a woman who during the trip turned... 74 years old!!! Thanks to Gore, as well as the staff of the restaurant where we dined in Sevan, it turned out to be a very warm and simply wonderful holiday for her and for us.
2). When we decided to take a walk on the street in Goris in the evening, Gore immediately tracked our exit with my sister and made sure that we “didn’t go into the night.” ))
3). I decided to “get acquainted” with the land of Armenia, as they say, directly: out of the blue, I fell and injured my leg. Thanks to the drivers of both our groups: Arkady and Aro - for the help and attention they provided me: they did not allow me to silently “limp” to the table, but first took me to the car to seal this wound.
Our two groups traveled independently. And the guides (Gore and Roland) communicated with each other so that we would not interfere with each other at the excursion sites in the monasteries. Where our groups intersected, we came under both the supervision of our guide and the supervision and care of the guide of the second group, Roland. Thank you very much to him too.
Special thanks to Roland for organizing a tour of the Historical Museum for our small group of 3 people, who for various reasons got separated from the rest. He talked about what was most interesting to us and answered many questions. And importantly, when that amazing woman who celebrated her 74th birthday on our trip became ill, Roland immediately left our small group to help her.
The remaining three days after the excursion program, we walked the streets of Yerevan on our own, also using the information and advice Gore gave us during the excursion.
What's the end result? We really liked Armenia. And if there is an opportunity, we will come here again, and best of all, with Barev Armenia.
Best regards, Elena and I

Прекрасная Армения, мы еще вернемся!
Ksenia
Many thanks to the Barev Armenia company for organizing an amazing trip around Armenia in September 2017. We chose a classic tour with individual accompaniment, and we were not disappointed. The program is well thought out! We express special gratitude to our guide, Roland Tmoyan - this man is a true expert on Armenian culture, he spoke and showed his country with such inspiration that it was impossible not to fall in love with it. Unique temples, fortresses, caves, of course, khachkars, duduk, tearing at the soul... Armenia is amazing, original, beautiful... If you are planning a trip to Armenia, Barev Armenia will make it unforgettable. The hotels were very well chosen (the view from the balcony of the Nare Hotel in Yerevan is just a song!), wonderful places for lunch and dinner (the Tsaghkunk guest house is an amazingly romantic place, and most importantly - delicious)... We can talk endlessly about this trip.
Many thanks to our driver, Vaha - we were in good hands! On the most breathtaking serpentines he was calm and in complete control of the situation.
Thank you, friends, for Armenia, we will definitely return and say “Barev, Armenia!”

Dear friends!
Today is my first day at work after vacation and I’m telling everyone about my wonderful impressions of Armenia in general and Barev in particular. It seems to me that it is not possible to improve the tour - everything was flawless. Thanks to Barev, I fell in love with Armenia, its culture and people. Many thanks to our guide Tatev and driver Arko - they were our guides into the world of this amazing country. The program is very rich, varied, but balanced. Hotels and food are excellent. But the main thing is Barev’s very cordial and attentive attitude to any request, her desire to solve any problem. This is true hospitality.
After my stories, two pairs of my friends have already gathered to visit Barev! Wait!
In our free time we visited the Genocide Museum and the Parajanov Museum - this is not to be missed!!!! Perhaps it is worth including this in the main program, or recommending that tourists visit it in their free time, but without fail!

Thank you for a perfectly organized tour! Everything was honest and not just professional, but purely humanly sincere and wonderful! How can I help you and invite hundreds of Israelis to come to you in Armenia? Moreover, according to the Torah, Mount Ararat is significant for the Jews too! Indeed, thank you very much, but don’t drive so quickly past the magnificent rocks between Goris and Sevan. Special thanks to the guide and our driver!

Dear friends! After this trip, this is exactly what I want to call the organizers and guides of the “Classical Armenia” tour. July 16-22, 2016 Sweet, helpful tour consultant Satine Apresyan, charming all-round guide Ruben Hovsepyan, silent, reliable driver Arkady and all the hospitable, wonderful people who met on our tour (including, of course, my wonderful fellow travelers from St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod Novgorod, Odessa, Rostov-on-Don and from Poland) - we all became a little closer to each other in such short, but so eventful 6 days!!! Thank you "Barev-Armenia" here's to new friends and wonderful vivid impressions of the ancient holy country, its nature and people! Success and prosperity to your entire friendly team! And I dedicated these poems to our good Armenian “knights,” I read them when we parted, and I want you to also know about our grateful feelings towards them:
Dear Ruben, Arkady!
We became sad looking at you:
Only there was “barevdzes”,
Well, tomorrow is our departure...
Our fairy tale in Yerevan
Soon it will disappear into the fog...
We were together so little -
But there was enough attention for everyone!
Having traveled half of Armenia,
We wish you success
And from all the heartstrings
Let's say "shnorakalutyun"!
Also - "mercy", "ev stestun"!!!
See you again on your beautiful land))) THANK YOU!!!

Our guide Gor and driver Ashot, in just 7 days while our tour lasted, managed to show us Armenia, its sights and the people living here in such a way that we sincerely fell in love with Armenia.
Thank you for your attentiveness, hospitality, excellent organization, well-thought-out program, and professionalism.
Everything was organized at the highest level.
I recommend this route to everyone

I would like to thank the company "Barev, Armenia" for the excellent organization of the tour in Armenia. We travel a lot, so we have something to compare with - so, we liked everything! The hotels are wonderful, the girls in the hotels are friendly and always ready to help, the Nare Hotel in Yerevan is especially good. I also want to thank our guide Gor Karapetyan and driver Ashot for the punctuality and clarity of the tour, for a lot of interesting information about Armenia and constant care for us, restless tourists:))) I needed to find relatives in Sevan, and Gor found a car with a driver , who drove me around the city and helped me find relatives. Thanks a lot! Sincerely.

Интересный тур, отличная организация.

Thank you for the great mood Barev Armenia!
I came across a website with this tour quite by accident while searching for “where to go for the May holidays.” I chose the “Classic Tour to Armenia” from April 30. I didn’t regret my decision for a minute, which happens very rarely. From the very beginning of correspondence on organizational issues until parting at the airport. Further point by point:
1. The organization of the entire tour is at the highest level. Very good hotels, I especially liked the Nare Hotel in Yerevan and the view of Yerevan from its balcony.
2. Food - fed “for slaughter”. Everything is tasty, varied, very satisfying. And even the places where we had lunch and sometimes dinner were chosen very well. I will especially remember lunch in the apricot orchard, even if without apricots for now.
3. Our guide is our “star of Mountains” (Gor Oganesyan). Gore’s great credit goes to creating a great mood even in difficult weather conditions. Thank you for your attentiveness, kindness and unexpected interesting bonus deviations from the route. Especially "not extreme" shortcuts.
4. Thanks to our driver Manvel - a true professional.
5 And I would like to say thank you to Barev Armenia for such a successful formation of a group in a minibus. Almost from the first day, we became a single close-knit group of like-minded people, led by Gore. We had a good time, fun and interesting.
The intensity of the week-long tour seemed to us like a month-long trip (and this is not just my opinion).
Thank you. I really hope that I will return to Armenia again.

Прекрасный тур, прекрасная организация
Julia
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

Экскурсионный тур с отдыхом на Севане
Levitina I.V.
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!

Незабываемое путешествие о Армении!
Olga Ovchinnikova
Many thanks to Barev Armenia for the wonderful organization of our week-long tour to Armenia!
The tour is very eventful, thoughtful, it is simply impossible to do more in a week. Everything was very clear – from meeting at the airport to transfer to the airport (The car is excellent – comfortable, silent, very clean, new). The museums are interesting and in all the museums we met people who knew the history of Armenia very well and tried to tell us about it in the most interesting way. Largely thanks to the guides, Matenadaran and the Museum of History of Armenia are so interesting to visit. We asked the guide to add the National Gallery to the planned museums - and it turned out that the Art Gallery in Yerevan is very rich. Lunch in Armenia is something special. The dishes were never repeated, everything was very tasty. We visited very different regions of Armenia. The nature is amazing, we will remember the views of unreal beauty forever. I really want to come again.
I especially want to thank our guide Hasmik and driver Arayik.
Hasmik – the best guide I've ever met. She knows the answers to all questions – and the composition of our group is very diverse and we asked questions from all areas - and Hasmik answered everything. I'm simply amazed by her erudition. We did not hear memorized tour guide lectures from her - only fascinating stories - about the history of Armenia, about architecture, about Armenian cuisine and much more, she told legends and anecdotes related to our trip. There were completely unexpected wonderful moments on the trip, for example, some of us in the Haghpat Monastery stood very close to the bells on the second floor of the bell tower during the bell ringing. While moving in the car, the music of Armenian musicians of various times and styles sounded; we saw a recording of the Pan-Armenian dance around Mount Aragats and at the columns of the ruins of Zvartnots. We saw, heard, and tried a lot of interesting things on this trip thanks to our guide, you can’t list them all. Hasmik is a girl with whom it is very interesting and pleasant to communicate. Thank you very much!
Araik is an amazing driver. The serpentine roads of Armenia for us, people from the plains, would be a test if someone else was driving. But Arayik drove the car so carefully that we immediately felt completely safe and simply looked around at the amazing beauty that surrounded us everywhere in Armenia. Throughout the entire trip we felt Arayik's attention. Thank you very much!
Sincerely,
Olga Ovchinnikova
