Ездили в Гюмри с друзьями на один день. Все из нас были в этом городе впервые. Именно поэтому важно было каким будет знакомство с этим местом.
Большое спасибо нашему гиду Гаяне за прекрасную экскурсию, которую она построила так, что мы увидели именно "изюминки" этого города - те места, про которые не прочитаешь в путеводителях. Прогулка длилась чуть меньше 3х часов, которые пролетели совершенно не заметно! Всем и каждому рекомендую открывать для себя этот город вместе с Гаяне!

Прекрасные впечатления от путешествия в Гюмри! Ездили туда вместе с гидом Наирой и водителем Григорием. Город, выстроенный из черного и красного туфа, поражает своей необычной красотой! Жаль, не много сохранилось после землетрясения, но впечатление о том, каким он был, составить вполне возможно. Прокатитесь на фаэтоне по центру, чтобы проникнуться атмосферой 19 века. Здесь много интересных мест. Прекрасен музей быта, устроенный в бывшем доме богатого гюмрийца. Черная крепость очень необычна. А как кормят в Гюмри! Нас привезли на бывшую текстильную фабрику, которая сегодня превращена в современный развлекательный центр с ресторанами. Один из них - корабль. Стол - абсолютно домашний! не вмещал всех армянских блюд. Кухня выше всех похвал.
Если будете в Ереване, обязательно отправляйтесь в Гюмри- это другой взгляд на Армению. Можно и на пару дней. Тогда обязательно остановитесь в Villa Kars (бронировать заранее). Место волшебное и аутентичное, со своей историей.
Гид Наира - широкий кругозор, много новой информации, организация гибкая, наводки на новые места в Ереване (Абеляна 8 и Абеляна 12 - сходите и не пожалеете - старые аутентичные дома, которые сегодня превращены в сказочные места. Спасибо, за совет!) Григорий - отменный водитель, очень аккуратный, надёжный. У нас был индивидуальный тур на троих человек. Лучший отзыв.
