Paulette Whitelkettle 08.09.2018

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.
