Anna had an incredible ability to make history come alive, weaving stories of each historical site. I found myself eager to learn more about the rich culture and heritage of the places we were exploring. Whether we were climbing the steps of ancient monasteries or sampling local cuisine or crossing the border, Anna made sure that we are good.
We will always be grateful for the knowledge and memories Anna shared with us. She is a true gem of a tour guide.

We had a busy day the next day with visits to the town of Echmiadzin (UNESCO), the town of Garni and the Gerhard Monastery. We asked Anna if we could visit the Armenian Genocide Museum, which wasn’t on our itinerary and she graciously agreed, even though our visit would extend our day into the early evening, which was much longer than planned.
The following day we drove to Khor Virap and after our visit on the way to the Noravank Monastery, our car broke down in the middle of nowhere, with the closest town being at least 2 miles away. Anna promptly called the car company and arranged to have them send us a different car. She also called a cab company from Yerevan who could take us to the monastery. Shortly thereafter, a bus with a group of Armenian teachers stopped and said that they were going to the monastery and that we could ride with them if we wanted. We thought this would be great fun, so we hopped on board and Anna served as translator. We returned to the hotel via the car that Anna arranged to meet us at the monastery.
On our last day in Armenia, we drove through the mountains to Tbilisi, Georgia, with a stop at the Haghbat Monastery complex, another UNESCO site. Prior to arriving at the boarder where we would meet our Georgian guide, Anna arranged for a wonderful farewell lunch.
Anna was a great tour guide and companion for our short time in Armenia. She is knowledgeable and passionate about her work and her country. She never hesitated to make any changes to the itinerary that we wanted to include, as she wanted us to have a wonderful, memorable trip, which it was. I highly recommend Anna as a tour guide to anyone who is interesting in visiting this fascinating country.

USA, Anna Tumasyan,
I’ve now completed my mission to see all 193 countries in the world, and my trip through Armenia with Anna is one of my fondest memories and top ten trips of my life.
The trip itself was fantastic, with amazing stops and activities. One of my favorite memories was being invited to celebrate and eat with an Armenian army platoon — this was not planned but one of the many awesome surprises along the way. All the monasteries were just awe-inspiring and I tasted some of the best food I’ve ever had in my life. All this while meeting tons of amazing local people and forging great new friendships.
Anna was just incredible. So knowledgeable, friendly and kind. She taught us so much, all done in a natural and conversational way, like friends hanging out.
To this day, I look back on my trip with Anna so fondly and very often. I look forward to returning one day soon, of course to book another program with Anna.
