Guide in ArmeniaA passionate adventurer who leads jeep, motorbike, hiking, and cultural tours
Favorite site in Armenia
Vardan believes that Khor Virap Monastery is one of the must-visit sights in Armenia. First of all, it has historical importance and its location with the best view of Mount Ararat is absolutely awe-inspiring.
Why guide?
For Vardan it is a great opportunity to communicate with different people and solve non-standard problems that happen along the way. The communication with each tourist helps him to learn traditions and customs of other nations.

Our guides Tazo in Georgia and Vardan in Armenia were the best we could ever ask for: very caring and attentive to all our needs and interests. We even made a few additional stops en route to take pictures and wander around, they were always accommodating.
Hasmik, our tour manager at Arara, was very patient and responsive to all our queries before and during the tour. We would highly recommend Arara Tour company to anyone interested in visiting Georgia and Armenia.
Hi Florena,
We thoroughly enjoyed the 21 days traveling with you. The program was varied and interesting, and the guides — Ilham in Azerbaijan, Sopi in Georgia, and Tatev in Armenia — each had their own style, which made the experience richer. We did have a small change in the itinerary due to weather in the mountains, but your team quickly arranged an alternative visit that turned out to be just as enjoyable. Everything felt very well cared for. Thank you again!
Hi Sati
Overall, we have thoroughly enjoyed the whole tour, and can only offer a few suggestions which you may like to consider. Probably overall, too many monasteries!
Azerbaijan. Guide Rugiya was fantastic . Liked the itinerary there very much. Hotel in Gabala very basic, empty pool but understand there is probably not a lot of options there.
Georgia.
We found the crossing of the border in to Georgia was fine because we only had smaller carry on suitcases. The ramps on each of the steps are not wide enough to easily roll a larger suitcase.
Telavi - Holiday Inn there had insufficient towels for the number of guests staying. On both nights, we had no towels for a shower before bed . They were delivered to the room at 11pm after we were asleep. -Enjoyed the times that we stopped unplanned on the roadside to see e.g. bread making.
Armenia.
Vardan was exceptional. Took us to a number of places that were not on the itinerary, which we enjoyed very much and maybe could be included and leave off a monastery or two.
Cave houses outside of Goris - Khndzoresk Caves
Line of Stones - Carahunge monument
Columnar basalt gorge below Garni Temple- very impressive.
Thanks again Sati, for arranging our great holiday. You we very easy to deal with in the planning and kept in touch while we were enroute.
Regards,
Ian and Barbara
