“Personalized tour of Etchmiadzin and Mother Armenia”
Book Chris when touring Etchmiadzin, St. Gayane, and St. Hripsime - his expertise and knowledge of the Armenian Apostolic Church and the history of the church, saints, and practices are invaluable and elevate your tour of these special religious sites. In addition to his warm demeanor, he was willing to accommodate my special requests and tailor my experience to fit my needs, which I greatly appreciated. In addition, he speaks numerous languages (his English is perfect), drives his own (very clean) car, and navigates the crazy traffic and roads in Yerevan well - I felt very safe and well taken care of during my tour. Thank you Chris for making my visit to Armenia unforgettable!

Sharing the deep history and traditions of the Armenian Apostolic Church is a passion of mine, so I’m thrilled to hear that the insights added a special layer to your visit. I always strive to make sure my guests feel comfortable, safe, and heard, so I'm glad I could accommodate your requests and navigate the Yerevan roads smoothly for you! Knowing that I helped make your time in Armenia unforgettable is the best reward I could ask for. You are welcome back anytime! Best regards, Chris ։)
