    I really enjoyed this tour around Yerevan. Tigran was a really interesting guy to listen to and to chat with. It was my first day in Armenia so I loved being shown all of the amazing places Tigran had chosen. He shared with us a lot of mind-blowing history too. When my girlfriend arrived the following day I had a great head-start as to where we should go. After the tour a small group of us went to a local bar and had a few beers. I'm so happy we had such a nice group of people lead by an amazing guide.

    I enjoyed this tour so much! Tigran is highly energetic and a very fun tour guide! He has a very relaxed and engaging sense of humor coupled with history and stories of Armenia. I paid through Tripadvisor, so the tour included the local juice and some local bread, both of which were quite delicious. I felt that the pacing of the tour was good. Given that this is July and it’s very hot and sunny, he also did a fantastic job during long-standing periods ensuring that were in the shade and/or sitting so we would not overheat. I think the best part of this tour is Tigran’s warm personality as he is very good about engaging the group and ensuring everyone is OK and having a good time. Highly recommended.

    So...there was a lot to talk about. Tigran is friendly but I feel like the cultural walking tour was showing more hidden parts of armenia(which wasn't very much in this tour) and I just wanted more of a general overview of the different parts of yerevan and how the architecture changed over time. Also he spoke too low especially in a high traffic region like Yerevan and when I asked him to please speak up he made a rude comment about me being demanding which is normal for an armenian in front of the other tourists. There was also construction happening and he merely walked a few feet away and spoke at the same low volume. Additionally, his english isn't the best, so at times he would crack a joke in english that I believe didnt translate properly from armenian and it can off offensive to the other tourists. He kept cracking these jokes at some french tourists who looked frustrated and were starting to get offended. He also made comments about how armenians dress very nicely and then pointed out the outfits of the tourists saying they would not fly here. I just think his biggest problem was his english, he could have made the whole thing much nicer if his english was better. And the last thing, he kept taking us into the alleyways which had nothing nice to see, we would just stand there for 10-15mins listening to him speak way too long about something that wasn't relevant and looking at walls. 4hrs tour is too long for this. This could have been 2hrs of the main points of yerevan. We had so many folks who had never been here, they needed a general tour of the area.
