My name is Poghos Varzhapetyan. I've been working in tourism since 2016. I love traveling. As a tour guide, my goal is always to make guests fall in love with Armenia so much that at the end of the tour they don't say goodbye, but instead say, "See you again, Armenia!".

Hi! My name is Roza, and I've been working as a tour guide since 2019. Why did I choose this profession? It's very simple: I love Armenia, I love people, and I love introducing people to Armenia. But not just introducing them – I do my best to make them fall in love with my country, too.

We spent five unforgettable days in Armenia on a private tour. We’d especially like to thank our guide, Anaid, and our driver, Grach. Anaid’s love for her country, her knowledge, and the way she shared it made every trip truly special—we literally fell in love with Armenia through her stories. Grach’s tact, calmness, and courteous manner made us feel completely safe and comfortable on the road, which was very important to us. We’d also like to mention the hike with Maks to the 10th-century temple in the nature reserve: with him, we felt absolutely safe and could simply enjoy the nature and atmosphere of this amazing place. We’ll be happy to recommend this kind of trip to our friends, and we’d gladly return to Armenia ourselves.

Особую благодарность хотим выразить нашему гиду Анаид и водителю Грачу. Любовь Анаид к своей стране, её знания и умение делиться ими сделали каждую поездку по‑настоящему особенной — через её рассказы мы буквально влюбились в Армению. Тактичность, спокойствие и воспитанность Грача создали чувство полной безопасности и комфорта в дороге, что было очень важно для нас. Отдельно хотим отметить поход с Максом к храму X столетия в заповеднике: рядом с ним мы чувствовали себя абсолютно безопасно и могли спокойно наслаждаться природой и атмосферой этого удивительного места. С удовольствием будем рекомендовать такой формат путешествия друзьям и сами с радостью вернёмся в Армению снова.Лъчезар Колев

We went on the “Khor Virap, Noravank, Ancient Bird’s Cave” tour with guide Aram and driver Grigor.
First of all, I’d like to thank you for the flawless organization.
Grigor drove carefully, even avoiding small potholes.
Aram’s presentation was professional, his speech was articulate, and you could tell he had a background in linguistics. He gave us a deep dive into history, national traditions, and customs.
Thank you very much!

Thank you very much! Побывали с гидом Арамом и водителем Григором на экскурсии «Хор Вирап, Нораванк, древняя Пещера Птиц» .
В первую очередь, хочется поблагодарить за безупречную организацию.
Григор вёл машину аккуратно, объезжая даже небольшие ухабы.
Подача материала Арамом была профессиональная, речь грамотная, чувствовалось лингвистическое образование. Глубокое погружение в историю, национальные традиции, обычаи.
Большое спасибо!
