Katar is the most amazing guide you could ever have to discover Armenia. She anticipates your every need and is incredibly responsive and flexible in adjusting as you go along so that your tour really fits your interests and energy. Everything was so smooth and well-planned out. We travelled as a group of 7 really different personalities, and Katar took the time to get to know us each as individuals during our travels which meant so much. She truly became a dear friend during our time together.
