Your Key
to Armenia

Katar is a gem. She is educated, knowledgeable, professional and super sensitive. She caters to your needs and even anticipates your needs. As an additional plus she is extremely tasteful. She is the best ambassador for Armenia

Katar is the best! One year later and I’m still amazed by her extensive knowledge and skill as a guide. Beyond her outstanding abilities as guide, she went above and beyond as a person. I was very sick our first day of the tour and she was kind and helpful without being overbearing and was flexible and patient. It was a great relief. We also needed logistics help shipping items home and ran into trouble with our bank at one point. Katar was so helpful both in figuring things out with us and helping us to focus on the tour and not on the stressors around us. She had such confidence and ease that was very comforting. She is someone you can trust and rely on, and when you’re far from home, having stressful issues arise, and she’s the only one around who speaks your language, that counts for a lot!! I hope to be back to Armenia with friends and family to tour one day (this tour was just my spouse and I) and booking with Katar again would be the easiest choice! We learned so much, had a blast, and felt cared for throughout the experience. Couldn’t recommend her more! '

Katar is the most amazing guide you could ever have to discover Armenia. She anticipates your every need and is incredibly responsive and flexible in adjusting as you go along so that your tour really fits your interests and energy. Everything was so smooth and well-planned out. We travelled as a group of 7 really different personalities, and Katar took the time to get to know us each as individuals during our travels which meant so much. She truly became a dear friend during our time together.

Katar is outstanding! Her grace, passion, knowledge, and one of a kind undaunted dedication to making the traveler’s experience unforgettable surpassed by far my highest expectations. Whether thoroughly planning trips, site visits, cultural exchanges, or meticulously organizing daily schedules, festive meals, and leisure time, she never failed to surprise us with her attention to detail and each and every member of the group. We felt special, well cared for, and in for a treat, every single day. Her presence and company were cherished by all. I cannot imagine revisiting Armenia without her guidance and I feel extremely lucky to have had such an incredible experience during my first visit. The personable way in which she imparts knowledge and engages with her travelers, her genuine curiosity, enthusiasm, and a natural inclination for sharing stories and connecting with people, make Katar unique. I have no doubt that she can manage the most intricate tasks with distinction, and respond promptly, sensibly, and full heartedly to any challenge she might encounter. She is the best! She has the determination of a superhero and the heart of a poet. Her kindness, elegance, sense of humor, and astute sense of observation enriched every moment of our trip!

Katar Teslakyan is the most impressive tour guide I have had anywhere in the world.
She does so many things so well. She brings immense knowledge of Armenia,— its history,
culture, arts and humanities, geography, and economy— to every tour I’ve been on with her.
She knows the best restaurants in every part of the country, and she knows wine well.
She has impeccable taste and takes you to the essential places throughout Armenia
and also to hidden gems that only a deeply knowledgeable guide would know.
She brings a spirit of joy and excitement to everything she shows you.
She is brilliantly organized and always prepared in case of any unforeseen issues.
Her generosity of spirt is special.

Katar is world-class. I have never had a better tour guide in 20 years of traveling all across Western and Central Europe, Japan, and North America. She made an unrivaled 14-day itinerary for us across all of Armenia and Georgia. She arranged many site visits for us and set up seamless meetings with universities and cultural groups. She partnered with an amazing driver and transportation service who also paid close attention to our group well-being from start to end of the 14-day trip. Beyond expertly assuring the excellent execution of all of these logistics, Katar is also brilliant, vibrant, energetic, and a shining beacon of intelligence and joy. My words of praise for Katar as a person, a guide, and a dedicated master of logistics are endless. If you ever have the chance to work with her, do not miss it. It will change your life.
