Monica Johnson

Thanks Hasmik for organizing a tour of Armenia for us! Your country is a country with an incredibly rich history, and this tour allowed us to dive deep into it. The ancient monasteries, fortresses, and religious sites were awe-inspiring. Learning about the country's history, particularly the Armenian Genocide, was both emotional and educational. There was an issue that arose during the tour as related to weather conditions. When we had planned to revisit Khor Virap for the stunning view of Mount Ararat, we were met with unseasonably cloudy and overcast weather. The cloudy skies obstructed our view of Mount Ararat, which was a little disappointing. We cannot stop sharing our fantastic journey with our friends. Thank you for the great experience!
