The trip is really worth it even its just for a day. Len is really informative and helpful. Just ask him any questions or concerns if you have any. The lunch is amazing. I didn’t eat veggies much and most of the meals is veggies. But turned out I really love the veggie meal! It’s really tasty. The trip to the monastery is really chill and I really enjoy it. Recommended for anyone that have short time in Tbilisi.

We had a fantastic day in Armenia. Our guide Lika was very helpful and told us a lot of interesting facts about sights we saw, local history and traditions. It was super interesting. Lunch was the highlight of the trip, we tasted delicious traditional Armenian dishes with great view and in very friendly atmosphere. I will definitely reccomend this trip to everyone

The tour was excellent with a good balance of the churches, nature and industrial influence. Beka was a superb guide! His passion for history, Georgia and the wider reason came through very strongly. His stories and humour added to the experience. The lunch with the family was superb and an added bonus. Overall - cannot recommend it highly enough.

Travel 60 years back to the times of the Soviet Union. Very good to see what communism does to a country. Nice tour guides, delicious lunch with a family.
