Small-group Armenia day trip from Tbilisi: Haghpat monastery, Lake Sevan and Sevanavank, then Yerevan icons. AC van, Wi-Fi, guide.
“We enjoyed this trip. Yes, it is long, 18 hrs, but that’s the cost of being able to see multiple areas of a country in 1 day. Great communication from the tour company. I felt trust in them from the start. We liked our guide Paata. Some things we didn’t love: perhaps better communication once on the bus. Two people didn’t prepare for a visa and this held us up at the border for a bit. Time is precious on this tour. We lost some additional time because of a few other hiccups and I think this prompted the driver to drive like a maniac, especially on the way home.…”

A full-day Armenia trip from Tbilisi to Dilijan, Sharambeyan Street, Lake Sevan, and Sevanavank, with a long scenic drive and real border time.
“We encountered a horrible border crossing - took 3 1/2 hours and was worst the guide, Sergio, had ever seen. He offered to still do the full itinerary, but given how late it already was, I asked if we could modify the itinerary so we'd still get back on time. We did - we cut out some things and added in some others, including a fantastic lunch in a tiny town that probably never had seen tourist! Sergio was an excellent Gide and I learned a lot about both Armenian and Georgian culture and history - it was a thoroughly enjoyable and informative day! and the border crossing coming back…”

On the day, it was perfect starting with a very polite and professional driver picking us up at the hotel in the morning. The car was nice and clean with smooth driving throughout the trip.

“Ottimo tour. Impegnativo, perché ci vogliono 5 ore e mezzo ad andare e 5 a tornare. Più o meno si hanno 4 ore in città, sufficienti a mio avviso per esplorarla camminando.
