Our driver and the trip were great! The driver had such warming smile and was very customer service minded! He picked us up from the agreed spot and was waiting us there on time. He wanted to buy us some water and he waited for us the entire time we were seeing the sights. We also stopped to take photos a bit further from Khor Virap, he knew a perfect spot! Then he dropped us to the Verbissge market where me and my partner conveniently continued our day on our own :) Highly recommended if you want to see Khor Virap but dont have time for a whole day trip. The trip took us ~3h but it depends for example on how long you want to see the sights.
