I have been happy to accomplish my armenian tour with a family and friendly group and, especially, a very talented guide who transmitted us, not only serious and documented information about history, archeology, social aspects of armenian life, but mostly her passion for this beloved country. That was my first stay in Armenia and she made me feel at home. So my greatets wish is to go back to Armenia, to the liberated Astrakh, and with Armtravelling for whom i wish more and more success.
