The tour with guide, Rubina, and driver, Arthur, was wonderful. Echmiadzin monastery and the Hripsime and Gayane churches have long and interesting histories. Rubina provided a lot of Armenian history and details about the sites. Zvantnots was in a beautiful location. Really enjoyed the tour and highly recommend.
