    Most amazing guide
    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!

  2. United Kingdom, Wendy Wu, 23 days October 2024

    Fantastic Armenian Guide
    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!

    Fabulous guide
    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

  4. United States, Odynovo, October 2024

    Fabulous guide with interest in local artisans
    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

    Katar is a gem. She is educated, knowledgeable, professional and super sensitive. She caters to your needs and even anticipates your needs. As an additional plus she is extremely tasteful. She is the best ambassador for Armenia.
