It was an amazing walk around the city of Gyumri. If we did this without Vardui it would not be so exciting. She helped us move into the past of this city and learn many interesting facts and stories. We had a wonderful time and were able to feel the atmosphere of this city thanks to the guide. She is a professional historian and just a very nice person! Thank you so much! ❤

A great walk around the city. We hit many of the key spots with just the right amount of historical context. Also, we felt like we could ask any questions about history, current events etc. Our guide Varduhi was excellent and her English was very good.
