Great excursion, sites visited were interesting and food at the restaurant was very good too. The tour guide Anastasia was fantastic a very pleasant and knowledgeable lady. As the tour was fully booked we were packed in the back seat like sardines but Anastasia organised it for us to be moved to the front so we were more comfortable. Also all the English speakers on our bus were great too. Driver was good too although I can't remember his name, sorry. A long day of nearly 14 hours but very much worth it.

Excellent one day trip to Tatev. The place has great energy and is definitely worth visiting. The cable car is listed as the longest in the world in Guines records book. Our guide was very informative and the diver was great. Overall it was an amazing day.
