Review of the 12-hour Tbilisi to Dilijan and Lake Sevan tour, with border tips, guide details, costs, sights, and honest advice.
“We had an amazing guide in Alexi. He was punctual and attentive to our needs. He had a vast knowledge of the area and of Armenia Sevan Lake region as well as Yerevan. He went out of his way to show us the Ararat mountains. Which were almost impossible to see due to cloud cover. But Alexi was an absolute gem. I will undoubtedly recommend him. We are South African and had to apply for visa on arrival. He patiently waited for us as the process took longer than usual. Thank you Alexi.”

“The actual tour was very good, enlightening and exposed us to cultures we knew very little about. We thoroughly explored local cuisines of both countries during our dining with the local tour guide, and he did a great job vetting food experiences given my food allergies. There were many high points of the trip, beautiful landscapes and thought-provoking experiences. However, I would only recommend this trip with the following cautions: Booking the luxury or any experience outside the basic tour does not guarantee that you will get that experience. Apparently, you book your tour and any options through Viator. Viator then secures a local tour company to book the elements…”
