What guests say about their experience

Thank you very much for organising our lunch today. We had tasty food and interesting conversation. I hope it was not too much trouble for the mother; her food was delicious. Thank you again, it was truly a great experience.

It was a really nice and different experience! Zhanna and her family were great! We had a lot to talk about and the food was amazing! They even prepared a birthday cake for me. At the end we danced, which made the experience even greater! Thank you for this opportunity! I definitely recommend it!

The lunch was absolutely fantastic, the family were so friendly and the food delicious. We were made so welcome. I'll fill in the survey and would definitely look for other opportunities like this when I travel in the future.

A cozy dinner with an Armenian artist and her family — a warm, personal way to see Armenia beyond the usual guided route.

A wedding dinner shared with a local family — exactly the kind of authentic evening a traveler with limited time could never arrange alone.
