Хотим выразить огромную благодарность вашему агентству за незабываемые впечатления! Я приехала в Армению в впервые, решили вместе с подругой отправиться в туры по Гарни и Гегард, а также Хор Вирап, Джермук, Нораванк и Арени. Это было потрясающее путешествие! Отдельное и самое душевное спасибо нашим замечательным гидам Жене и Милене за их профессионализм, увлекательные рассказы и невероятно теплую атмосферу на протяжении всего пути. Также огромное спасибо нашему водителям Владимиру и Вардану за комфортное вождение. Нам всё безумно понравилось. Процветания вашему агентству, обязательно будем рекомендовать вас друзьям!
Были на экскурсии 26.10.2026. Остались в полном восторге от экскурсии. Наш замечательный гид Милена очень знающая, внимательная, и в совершенстве знающая материал. В совершенстве владеющая двумя языками. И конечно отличный водитель и комфортабельный транспорт. Огромное вам спасибо!
Хочу выразить огромную благодарность нашему гиду Тиграну, который сопровождал нас в этой экскурсии! Хорошо говорит на разных языках, рассказывает интересно и не пересыщает информацией. И в целом очень приятный, активный и доброжелательный человек :) В нашей группе был один сумасшедший (мой муж), который исследовал самые непроходимые места, и Тигран его поддержал, это сделало нашу экскурсию уникальной и запоминающейся! В самой экскурсии понравилась чёткая организация, однако, для нас это было ещё и минусом, так как времени в каждой точке было немного, ввиду того, что экскурсия очень насыщенная. Но с точки зрения групповой поездки, это, конечно, было продумано. А мы, я надеюсь, вернёмся ещё самостоятельно, чтобы вдоволь полазить по скалам. Часть в Арени показалась очень скомканной. Но в целом у нас остались очень приятные впечатления от этой поездки, вернулись счастливые и уставшие. Большое спасибо onewaytrip и отдельно Тиграну!
Поехали 9 октября, красивые монастыри, дорога с прекрасными видами. Джермук курортный город, с минеральной водой, приятно по нему гулять. Спасибо гиду за познавательные истории.
