1. Katar is world-class. I have never had a better tour guide in 20 years of traveling all across Western and Central Europe, Japan, and North America. She made an unrivaled 14-day itinerary for us across all of Armenia and Georgia. She arranged many site visits for us and set up seamless meetings with universities and cultural groups. She partnered with an amazing driver and transportation service who also paid close attention to our group well-being from start to end of the 14-day trip. Beyond expertly assuring the excellent execution of all of these logistics, Katar is also brilliant, vibrant, energetic, and a shining beacon of intelligence and joy. My words of praise for Katar as a person, a guide, and a dedicated master of logistics are endless. If you ever have the chance to work with her, do not miss it. It will change your life.

2. Katar Teslakyan is the most impressive tour guide I have had anywhere in the world.
   She does so many things so well. She brings immense knowledge of Armenia,— its history,
   culture, arts and humanities, geography, and economy— to every tour I’ve been on with her.
   She knows the best restaurants in every part of the country, and she knows wine well.
   She has impeccable taste and takes you to the essential places throughout Armenia
   and also to hidden gems that only a deeply knowledgeable guide would know.
   She brings a spirit of joy and excitement to everything she shows you.
   She is brilliantly organized and always prepared in case of any unforeseen issues.
   Her generosity of spirt is special.

3. Katar is outstanding! Her grace, passion, knowledge, and one of a kind undaunted dedication to making the traveler’s experience unforgettable surpassed by far my highest expectations. Whether thoroughly planning trips, site visits, cultural exchanges, or meticulously organizing daily schedules, festive meals, and leisure time, she never failed to surprise us with her attention to detail and each and every member of the group. We felt special, well cared for, and in for a treat, every single day. Her presence and company were cherished by all. I cannot imagine revisiting Armenia without her guidance and I feel extremely lucky to have had such an incredible experience during my first visit. The personable way in which she imparts knowledge and engages with her travelers, her genuine curiosity, enthusiasm, and a natural inclination for sharing stories and connecting with people, make Katar unique. I have no doubt that she can manage the most intricate tasks with distinction, and respond promptly, sensibly, and full heartedly to any challenge she might encounter. She is the best! She has the determination of a superhero and the heart of a poet. Her kindness, elegance, sense of humor, and astute sense of observation enriched every moment of our trip!

   Katar is the most amazing guide. She’s very professional, knowledgeable, capable and flexible with our requests. She is so well prepared and proposes and executes the best itinerary. She also recommends the most fabulous F&B outlets. We learnt so much about Armenia including the history and culture and had the very best time. Katar is definitely the star!

   We were a group of 2 x English couples and 2 x Australian couples. What a fantastic guide Katar was for Armenia (we visited Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia with Wendy Wu). She had a great personality, spoke excellent English and had a vast depth of knowledge about Armenia, it’s history, culture, geography and life. She became a friend to us all and even understood our dry humour and joined in. She was organised, thoughtful and made our visit wonderful. As a group guide or a tailored trip I am sue I speak for all of us by saying you could do no better. Thank you Katar!

   Katar was an exceptionally good guide, her knowledge, quick wit and attention to clients needs was wonderful. She was a good friend and leader for our time in Armenia. Attention to detail and reading people’s interests and needs makes this lady a wonderful ambassador for her country and a credit to her hard work. Thank you Katar

   Katar was an exceptional guide. She was very attuned to my interests as a solo traveler. We saw the sights but also sought out local artisans, food and wine. Would highly recommend
