The trip there was extremely long (we expected that) and we made a few stops along the way (winery and waterfall - nice, but nothing special - might be because we have amazing wine and waterfalls in our country already). But the big disappointment was that they dropped us off at the monastery, just 1km from the viewpoint and never took us up there (only inside the monastery). I saw photos of groups from up there so I kind of expected it. In the end we ended up paying…”

I was the only one who she interpretted in English and I really did appreciate the effort. She made sure I wasn’t left out. She was really nice and made us all feel welcomed. The tour - I especially loved the funicular in Tsakadzhor in this trip. Wouldn’t want to miss that part when in Armenia. I just wished we could have stopped somewhere with the beautiful trees and take photos.”

I really commend Armine for her dedication to share the rich culture of Armenia. And to Vahan, for driving us safely during the entire trip. We just got a short stay in Armenia, but definitely, Armine made it very worth it and memorable trip. We enjoyed the breathtaking views going to Noravank. I think of all the monasteries that we’ve visited, Norabank was one of the best, the breathtaking views was just so extra ordinary.”
