What people are saying about Yerevan

On the whole the tour was great and I would recommend it. The downside was the 'walking tour' of Gyumri involved essentially walking round the block with the guide, with very little info, then being told we had an hour free time to wander the city. Would have preferred to have a fully guided tour. Additionally, the choice of lunch place was pretty poor. Very limited options, and bland food.

Well done Mayis and Samuel!!! Best wishes, Jasmine
