Thank you so much for the wonderful review! It was a true pleasure hosting you and specially exploring the city of Gyumri together. I’m so glad you enjoyed the visit to the Orgov Observatory—it really is a hidden gem and a one-of-a-kind experience. I always enjoy tailoring the journey to make sure everyone feels comfortable and gets to see the spots that interest them most. Knowing that you felt safe and well-informed during our time on the road is the best feedback I could ask for. I hope the rest of your travels were just as memorable. Best regards Chris

“A very memorable trip ”
We highly recommend this tour with Chris. We had such a great time exploring ROT54 and Chris was the perfect guide. Showing us where to go, taking pictures for us and generally helping us enjoy the day. We were able to go at our own pace and explore as much as we wanted. Chris was flexible with our schedule too, we had to catch our flight home in the afternoon so he picked us up an hour earlier and dropped us at the airport after. It made what could have been an empty last few hours in Armenia into the most memorable part of the trip. If you like visiting abandoned places, ROT54 is a must and we're so happy we booked with Chris.

Thank you so much for the kind words! It was truly a pleasure spending that final morning with you exploring ROT54. I’m so glad we were able to adjust the schedule to fit in one last adventure before your flight. Making sure you could see the beauty of these abandoned sites at your own pace is exactly what I aim for, and I’m thrilled that it became such a memorable part of your time in Armenia. Safe travels on your next journey, and I hope to see you again for more exploring! Best regards
