Hi, after working for 15 years in tourism and overseas education, I decided to devote myself completely to travel, started a company and do tours to 4 destinations: Armenia, South Africa, London and New York. My motto is "Interesting places with interesting people" because you cannot get to know a country without getting to know its people. I try to get you to visit the most interesting, trendy, relevant places in the city and share a piece of my love for this country.

Yerevan is the city where I was born and lived until I was 18. I passionately love Yerevan and the whole Armenia, regularly take individual and small groups of tourists there and, without false modesty, make the most soulful tours in this country.

New York is a city I love very much for its dynamism, diversity and incredible contrast of culture, cuisine, people and entertainment.

London is a city of legend, holds millions of secrets. Majestic and simple, pompous and hipster. It's never boring.

About the tour: We are grateful to you and Maria for organizing an amazing tour to Armenia.
We met with Maria in advance and discussed all the necessary details. Before departure we received instructions from Maria about money exchange, all kinds of leisure and other things.
On arrival everything was excellent, as we had planned in advance. Our guide Iyck was a great professional of his work.
We had no problems or changes in the program.
The colleagues admired the trip.
Thank you very much!

About the tour: Maria, a wonderful, sincere person! It was enjoyable, interesting, active. Gaia and Ike all points met!  I liked everything
About the guide: Maria, a wonderful, soulful person! It was enjoyable, interesting, active.
About the tour: There is a great probability to provoke an uncontrollable wave of tourist flow and as a consequence increase in prices, hour-long queues to attractions and the need to book favorite tour guides a year in advance, but I feel that if I don't tell the whole truth, I will not let go.
The natural beauty of Armenia, its rich historical heritage and gastronomic pleasures are known to many. These must have components are more or less characteristic to every country. It is sort of a must. And sometimes there is an "exchange with excess," and you get a nice bonus that you do not expect. And this is where that excess comes in multiples.
When a wave of care and kindness picks you up, and you just need to fill your lungs and trust the current.
People with high vibrations live here. Thanks to their responsiveness and participation your wishes come true without being voiced.
Before you could be frightened in an unfamiliar city, not knowing where to go and not finding the person meeting you with a sign, they already help you to find this person, call him, offer to take him to the hotel for free, show him the attractions, treat him to strawberry juice. You just think of wiping your hands with a wet wipe, and they hand you a wet wipe. You've just seen a scene for a good shot on the road, and the car has already slowed down and the passenger window is down. You've just expressed your pleasure at hearing a melody for the first time and already a link to listen to it drops into your phone. You've only said that you dream of riding a horse, and it immediately materialized. You are happy just to be present in the ancient temple at the service, and you also get the opportunity to get a blessing from Father Michael.
This care 85 level extends even to the weather. When it rains only during our travels and stops as soon as you arrive at your destination.
But most importantly, you get all this pleasure for nothing without any extra effort. You don't have to be a special person, have a light soul or a rare talent, it's enough just to be here. Anybody.
It creates a special microclimate very useful for adult children who were just a little short of their mother's kisses.
I don't know how they do it, but I'll definitely be back to learn.
Look at them, listen to their voices. I want you to feel what I feel.

About the tour: 7:30 in the morning. I open my left eye and stare at the mountains. I begin to remember that the evening was mulberry vodka, lots of delicious food, soulful conversation and almost dancing to the peacock's cry. We were warming up. It was +11 overboard. The memory comes back. Did you dream it? No. Good.
⠀
So, Khor Virap with the descent into the death pit and the walk up the mountain in sliding mud. Then a frantic climb up the mountain road along the border with Iran and Turkey to catch the cable car to Tatev monastery complex. It's cold, it's raining. But my brain has already switched from endless work analysis and is catching moments. Not a care in the world. Freeze frame. Drizzle covers my face, little shiver pierces my body, I chew apricot churchella I bought from granny on the way. I fill myself with clean air. It is good.
So, checked in eco-hotel on the edge of cliff, where everything is made of fragrant wood and from soul. It is the same +11 over the board, the same peacock, breakfast, but without vodka. Ahead there is a long rich road, bright discoveries, again full of information and humor conversations. What? Tomorrow's the flight. Yes, but I don't want to think about it, not at all. It's just nice.
