Paulette Whitelkettle

Guide: Our guide, Yeva, was wonderful! She made our week delightful. She was professional but extremely likable. She is amazingly knowledgeable. The information she gave us enhanced our experience enormously.  She did a great job knowing how much talking to do  and what information we would find interesting. She paved the way and lead us.  There were at least three times in which we asked to change the itinerary midstream. She went with the flow and cooperated with our every wish and adapted the itinerary cheerfully.  She helped us to fall in love with Armenia.
Driver: He did a fine job.
Car: Fine
Hotels: We enjoyed all of  the hotels although  some were challenging regarding being handicapped accessible.
What did you like best in your trip? I enjoyed the entire trip but especially liked the cable car day
What didn’t you like in the trip? The winery
What would you add to your trip?
Would you recommend our company to your friends? Yes. I intend to. It was excellent.
