this has to be the worse experience tour ever, our driver Hajid was unable to communicate with us in English. Four stops we got lost 5 times his inability to even find entrance points to some the point of interest where frustration. he seemed to love to try and take short cuts down tracks off the highway only to find road led nowhere. His driving was dangerous to say the least constantly messaging in his phone that resulted in 3 very near misses. brought his sin along that meant myself and wife where crushed in the car to top it off all the visitors in the car 1 x German, 2 x Philippines and myself & my wife decided to cut our tour short and return to Yeravan never again

A coffee trip, nothing more. It started with the problem that we were the only ones who had booked the tour, and the guide wanted to add us to another tour that went to Lake Sevan. He wanted to charge us extra for this. After some discussion, he let us join for free... For the first 4.5 hours, we didn't see anything we wanted to see. After 1.5 hours, we arrived at a site for zip-lining that no one knew about, and we stayed there for about an hour. Then we went to a gondola lift with a not-so-great view, where we stayed for another 1.5 hours. Only then did we go to Lake Sevan for lunch. The restaurant was right on the lake and had a beautiful view, but the food was terrible. The rest of the tour was relatively worth seeing, which is why I gave it 2 stars. On the way back, our English-speaking guide, who could speak maybe 3 sentences of English, wanted to take us to a restaurant where he stopped for a full 40 minutes, even though no one wanted to go in.

We had to wait 40 minutes... it was completely unclear which driver was coming... then one arrived, completely exhausted, having spent the night before with tourists in Georgia... Tbilisi. There was no Wi-Fi in the car. He spoke a little English but couldn't say much about the places. He always left us behind. Nann had to pay for everything himself.
