The best, most beautiful, most professional and coolest guide and master of his craft, it's all Hovhannes. Thanks to him, rainy Gyumri left the most unforgettable and incredibly positive impressions about the city. The tour was so cool and interesting that even the torrential downpour was my tears of happiness, delight and admiration from his stories. You know, friends, everyone in Armenia says about Armenia that everything is the best, big, unique, unrepeatable, the first and nowhere is there such a thing. So I can honestly say it's all about Hovhannes. It's just not Gyumri's material heritage, like Armenia's lavash (UNESCO heritage). You can't come to the city and not walk in it without Hovhannes, it would be a crime. Many thanks to him and the orgasitors, my best birthday, which I was lucky enough to spend in Gyumri and with such a guide.

Travel with Hovhannes is definitely the best company in Gyumri!
We went on an excursion to Lori with Artyom, I really liked it. It was interesting and entertaining.
Artyom is a great guide! He answered all our questions on and off topic))) A pleasant surprise was the coffee that we drank on the playground with a magnificent view! Lori is really magical!!!
Many thanks to the entire company team: administrator Siranush, guides Hovhannes and Artyom, drivers!The organization, attitude and professionalism are impeccable!
You will be in Gyumri, contact them,
you will be satisfied!
I look forward to new meetings with hospitable Armenia!

Yesterday, my family and I were lucky enough to get acquainted with Gyumri in the company of the wonderful guide Hovhannes. An extraordinary, interesting, very open and extremely endearing person! An excellent conversationalist and a highly professional guide. It conquers in the first minutes of the tour.
We really enjoyed his walk around the city: the atmospheric places, the welcoming people, the layered stories and the unnoticed time. It was interesting for everyone, the city opened up to everyone in its own way and left only positive emotions. The second day in Gyumri, I am sure, will be no less interesting, as Hovhannes recommended several more places where we will definitely visit today! Thank you for the mood and the new acquaintance!

Gyumri is a unique and beautiful city that has experienced many tragedies and trials in its history.
A guide to Gyumri must certainly be a local, an interesting conversationalist, and an expert on his city..It's great that my friends got to know Hovhannes and gave me his contact .Now I will recommend to everyone a knowledgeable and loving city guide, which turned out to be Hovhannes!Come, you won 't regret it, preferably for a few days!

We went on the "Most Delicious Tour", and we really enjoyed it. This is our third year in Armenia, and we have been almost everywhere, looking for an excursion to the village of Molokan. This tour was recommended to us in one of the chats. We are in Yerevan, and the tour starts from Gyumri, but Hovhannes arranged a transfer for us and we were able to join the group. The tour is great, very interesting, we saw and learned a lot of new things, even our 13-year-old son liked it, which happens very infrequently. Hovhannes is an excellent guide, knows a lot, tells interesting stories, and organizes well. He's also a pleasant person with a great sense of humor. So we recommend it. Thank you so much for a wonderful day, impressions and photos!

This is the second time we have walked around Gyumri with an excellent guide, Hovhannes. A wonderful story, a balanced program with a lot of preferences (we were asked to combine two excursions), a child was with us- in order not to walk and not get tired, the girl was able to leave for an hour and a half at an exciting master class. As a result, everyone is happy, both old and young) . It is impossible to imagine Gyumri without Hovhannes, through him you can feel love, respect and pride for your city, which you fall in love with yourself. Let's come back in the summer and take a leisurely stroll through all the already familiar places.
And with Hovhannes, time passes very quickly. We plan to see him again and rediscover different corners of Armenia.

We really enjoyed the Gyumri city tour with Hovhannes. We went into important courtyards and stopped at houses with a history, and we heard a lot of interesting things. The guide provided comprehensive answers to all additional questions. In addition, he recommended a list of films about Gyumri, shot in locations seen on the tour. We were with two kids, but the speed and load allowed both us and the children to endure and enjoy the three-hour tour. And of course, the love for the city of Gyumri, which is saturated with Hovhannes, is impressive and leaves the best impressions. Thank you for your work, efforts and joy!

The best of the best, Hovhannes! This was not my first trip to Armenia, it seems that all the cities have been explored and the trails have been trodden, but here the trip was short and the choice fell on Gyumri (Leninakan), for myself I understood that this is a post-Soviet city and it is impossible to surprise our company especially, but ....... But we booked an excursion from Hovhannes on November 26 and the miracle began. True, true (we are travelers with a herd and we have someone to compare with), he is fascinating, emotional, knows his city perfectly well, wherever we go, everyone gladly accepts him, a lot of people knew by name. We were very satisfied. I will advise you.
One of the disadvantages is the bad weather, although nature does not have bad weather, we got into the first snow in Gyumri.
Thank you so much for loving people and your work) Violetta and company

Top 1 guide in Gyumri, Armenia and the nearest inhabited near-Earth space!
He'll show you everything, and what he doesn't have time to tell you. Together with his team, he arranges exciting adventures and immerses himself in history. I was with Hovhannes and Artyom on various excursions around Gyumri and other regions of Armenia: to the beautiful Dzoraget canyon, to visit the Molokans, to a cheese farm, wineries (required), ancient temples, Mount Aragats (no photos will betray this power - it must be seen)… this and not only can be organized by Hovhannes.
New excursion programs appear every year. I will definitely come again and go to something new.

Great tour, we took an excursion with Hovhannes, everything went great
Today we took a guided sightseeing tour with Artyom.
Everything went just as well, we met on the main square, learned a little about the history of this place, then drove to the black fortress, all this happened in a comfortable car. The tour was excellent, the guide told us in detail about all the places we visited and perfectly answered all the questions that arose. We really liked everything, the price-quality ratio is just great

My friends and I had a long-standing dream to go to Armenia. First of all, we decided to visit Gyumri, which is famous for its pre-revolutionary architecture and which has not been rebuilt in subsequent years, such as Yerevan. Although we knew that the city was beautiful and colorful, we didn't want to wander around it aimlessly. Then I remembered the wonderful guide Hovhannes, whom I learned about from the edition of the "Editorial" about Armenia. As it turned out later, we would have lost a lot if we hadn't taken a city tour. Hovhannes has a masterful command of information about his city and is able to convey it intelligibly and interestingly to his tourists. He immediately got in touch with us, joked non-stop, talked soooo interestingly without exaggeration, and answered all our questions that arose, and very exhaustively. For example, when my friend asked about the Gyumri street art, Hovhannes not only answered where they were located, but also brought them together, talked about the meaning of the works and even introduced them to local artists. Even in everyday situations, his help came in handy. When applying for Armenian SIM cards

We traveled with Hovhannes through the Lori region and got a lot of vivid impressions. Not only because Lori is very interesting from the point of view of history and nature, but also because Hovhannes is a very erudite guide and an interesting person. The excursion route is methodically organized correctly, more than ten hours flew by unnoticed. I can't help but mention the pleasant surprises that Hovhannes prepared for us and which gave our trip a special charm. We recommend it to anyone interested in the history and ancient architecture of Armenia.

With Hovhannes, we have already traveled all the neighborhoods that can and cannot be.What can I say, before meeting this sincere and wonderful man, I did not even suspect that there is more to the profession of a guide than knowledge of history.And it is...there is sincerity, gorenje with his work, adoration of his city and devotion to his country.You don't know Armenia if you haven't met him at least once.There is no one who could show you Armenia in such a colorful, sincere and cozy way.Would you like the most delicious Armenian coffee?So it will be too) I recommend this agency, because there are really very nice and lovely people here

And then Hovhannes made our team fall in love with Gyumri and Armenia. I recommend it one hundred percent. If you get to know Armenia, it's only with Hovhannes and his wonderful guides!

My wife and I had been to Gyumri before, but on a relatively short tour, and we wanted to explore the city slowly and tastefully during the second visit, without repeating ourselves if possible and learning something new. Hovhannes suggested the "Non-tourist Gyumri" tour, and this option fully justified itself. We got what we wanted. Aram is a wonderful guide, and the walk was well organized. It wasn't exhausting, we saw new places and learned a lot of interesting things about the life and history of the city. It was sunny, but cold, and at the very time when we needed to get warm, we went to souvenir shops or exhibition spaces according to plan. Everything went just fine. The next day, a small problem arose (they forgot one thing at the hotel), and Hovhannes immediately suggested a solution.

Hovhannes made us and our children fall in love with Armenia and Gyumri! We learned so many interesting, unique, and delicious things in 4 hours!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Hovhannes is, first of all, a man in love with his hometown. And that's exactly what defines the magic of his tour. This includes a deep knowledge of the history and significant events that have happened to the city over 3 centuries, and the ability to hold an audience with your charm and beautifully delivered speech. What else can I add, a GUIDE, A TOUR GUIDE, and all in big letters. I would like to mention separately his story about the monument dedicated to one of the most tragic and difficult events in the history of the city - the earthquake of 1988, which was chilling to tears. Thanks again for the tour!
