We had the chance to be accompanied by an exceptional guide during our trip to Armenia. An extremely warm person, always smiling and welcoming, with whom contact was made very naturally from the first day. It is a true open book: his knowledge of the country is impressive, both on history and on culture and traditions. His passion for Armenia is immediately felt, and he shares it with enthusiasm and generosity. He speaks perfect French, which makes the exchanges smooth and very pleasant. Thanks to him, we discovered the country in depth, well beyond just sightseeing. We recommend it 1000% without any hesitation!
Very pleasant stay. Mirhan was a great guide. He introduced us to Armenia with detailed explanations of the monuments and places visited. The lunches were hearty, in varied settings, close to nature. Mirhan was able to meet our needs with simplicity and enthusiasm. He shared his passion for the country with delicacy and intelligence. Very cultured it captured our attention throughout the stay. Thank you again for those lovely moments. If we return to Armenia, it will undoubtedly be with Mirhan
I highly recommend travelling with Mihran! We called on Mihran to organize our family trip and it was a 5 star experience. During the preparation, we had the opportunity to discuss our wishes, and he offered us a program that was perfectly adapted. Once there, we had a very nice week: besides the total care and without hitches, Mihran was very attentive and reserved us some unexpected good surprises:-). Thanks to his knowledge of the history of the country and the sites, the visits were rich in information, and he embellished the whole trip with legends and anecdotes that plunged us into the heart of the spirit of Armenia.
What can I say, it was great. Nature, culture, history, food, customs. Mihran is a Magnificent person. He has impressive knowledge, he is passionate, he is caring and you will not be disappointed. First experience for us, as a couple. I recommend it ++
