My son was visiting Armenia for the first time so I wanted to give him a day to remember - and it certainly was. We could not have asked for better service from the initial communication, the flexibility regarding departure time, and the care we had throughout the tour.
Our guide, Shushan, and driver, Lerno, were friendly, professional, informative and assiduous in their attention to detail. - even to the choice of music along the way. It was a very comfortable car, well-driven, in which we always felt safe.
Khor Virap and Noravank are two very different monasteries in dramatic locations, with histories and legends that provided great education and entertainment.
Being lovers of Areni wine, we enjoyed seeing the production and the tasting of a very wide variety.
Jermuk is interesting in a very different way, being very Soviet in style and boasting a range of hot mineral springs from which we must now be much healthier.
In some ways it doesn't matter where you go in Armenia, you will always find incredible landscapes of such a range, and wonderful hospitality. I thoroughly recommend Gira, however, and we remain most grateful for all we experienced.
