Fantastic tour

We had a fantastic tour with Kevork, a great and very knowledgeable guide who was very friendly and flexible. He gladly answered all our questions. We did a customized tour with both ROT54, Garni temple, Geghard monastery and other nice stops. Would definitely recommend going with Kevork/Chris!
