Barev Dzez! (Means "Hello" in Armenian.) I’m a tour guide who believes in a personal approach. I like to keep things fun and show you the real Armenia - not just the typical tourist spots. As a local, I know the best places to visit, eat, relax, and enjoy nature - especially the mountains! I also enjoy taking people to small villages, where you can meet local families, taste homemade food and drinks, and stay in cozy guesthouses or hotels. I want to make your trip to Armenia special and unforgettable. I know a lot about Armenian history, but I try not to turn it into a boring lecture. I like to share stories and facts in a simple, interesting way. I also enjoy talking about our unique traditions and cultural details you won’t find anywhere else. I’m an easygoing, friendly, and flexible guide. I believe every guest is different, so I’m happy to adjust the tour to your interests. A little bit about me: I was born in Saint Petersburg, Russia, and moved to Armenia with my family when I was 16. I’ve traveled a lot - to the US, Israel, and many countries in Europe. Every year, I try to visit one or two new countries. As a traveler myself, I can say Armenia has everything to become a top travel destination - beautiful landscapes, tasty food, and great prices. Come before everyone else discovers it! I’ve been working as a private tour guide for 10 years and have already welcomed over 1500 guests. I truly enjoy meeting new people from around the world and sharing what I know about my wonderful country. Most of my tours are done with my own car. Transportation is included in all my prices. If you're a group of more than 3, I can arrange a driver with a minivan or minibus. Tours can be one day (about 8 hours) or last for several days. I can also create a custom tour based on what you want to see and do. I'll be happy to answer all your questions. Your Armenian friend, Ishkhan

    We booked Ishkhan for a 3 day tour with one overnight in Goris. He offered to meet us at the airport when we arrived in Yerevan, despite our flight getting in at midnight. He was waiting for us and gave us a brief overview on our way to our hotel. The next morning he sent me a list of places to check out and many restaurant suggestions for Yerevan. The following day we...

    Ishkhan is a brilliant guide, we have travelled a lot and he is one of the best we have had from Tours by Locals. His driving was calm and made us feel very safe. The trip was well planned with lots of nice hidden touches. He was very knowledgeable and always went that step beyond to ensure that we had a great time.
