It is with regret that we say goodbye to this beautiful country. In just one week we managed to absolutely fall in love with this unique region, which we did not really know anything about before.
I would like to thank our guide Raffi, who was always very attentive to us and very helpful. I would also like to mention the excellent work of the company itself, as all our questions and concerns were always answered very quickly regardless of the time of day.
We actually found the pace of the trip a bit rushed, but given that it lasts only 7 days, this is understandable. Nevertheless, we thoroughly enjoyed our time in Armenia, not least thanks to our wonderful guide Ani. I can definitely recommend this trip.
Thank you for your message, dear Ani. We are doing overall wonderful and still have fond memories of our trip. I just wish my wife and I had more time to choose a longer trip, as a longer trip would have allowed us to fully appreciate your wonderful country’s beauty and history.
Thank you for all your attention towards us during the tour. I hope we get a chance to visit you again.
