  • Garni TempleGeghard is partly hewn directly out of the cliff, chambers and all, and the acoustics inside are extraordinary.

Too much time on the coach and not enough at the places we'd come for.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed. Good value for what's included.

Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says.
