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.
