点评:I spent seven days travelling privately, followed by another seven days with a group of photographers.
My aim was to practise urbex photography while discovering Armenia, its mountainous landscapes and cuisine, as well as doing some street photography. During the first week, I wanted to remain completely free from a fixed itinerary and, with a rental car, be able to travel from one location to another, day by day, without constraints.
Nvard Melkonyan from Central Tour Armenia organised everything for me from A to Z and then accompanied me throughout these 15 days. She did an outstanding job!
You really do not need to read any further: I recommend her wholeheartedly and without reservation.
I particularly appreciated the quality of Central Tour’s organisation, the complete sense of safety throughout the entire road trip, the beauty and scale of Armenia’s mountainous landscapes, and the originality of the urbex photography locations, most of them remnants of the Soviet era.
Besides being extremely friendly and likeable, Nvard is a highly capable and knowledgeable person whom I was able to trust completely. Her network throughout the country meant that wherever we went, we were always warmly welcomed, expected on time and received with genuine hospitality.
The itinerary, schedule and budget were all perfectly respected. Nvard showed great patience, was available at all times and was very flexible in adapting to our planned photography sessions — something I particularly appreciated as a photographer.
During our long stretches on the road, we also had many interesting discussions about Armenia: its history, religion, cities and much more. Nvard introduced me to a wide variety of restaurants, all excellent in terms of food quality, originality, authenticity and local character.
Central Tour co-organises this seven-day urbex photography trip with the Dutch agency Hanzebeeld.
Thank you, Nvard. It was perfect, and I sincerely hope I will have the opportunity to return!

翻译:我独自旅行了七天,随后又和一群摄影师一起度过了七天。
我的目的是在探索亚美尼亚及其 mountainous landscapes和美食的同时,练习城市探险摄影,同时也进行一些街头摄影。第一周里,我希望完全不受固定行程的束缚,借助租来的汽车,每天都能随心所欲地从一个地方前往另一个地方。来自亚美尼亚Central Tour的Nvard Melkonyan为我安排了从头到尾的一切事宜,并在这15天里一直陪伴着我。她做得非常出色!
其实您不必再往下读了:我全心全意、毫无保留地推荐她。
我尤其欣赏Central Tour出色的组织能力,整个自驾旅程中那种十足的安全感,以及亚美尼亚山地景观的壮美与辽阔。这些城市探险摄影的拍摄地点极具独特性,其中大多数都是苏联时期的遗留物。
Nvard不仅极其友善、讨人喜欢,还是一位能力出众且学识渊博的人,我完全可以信任她。她在全国各地都拥有广泛的人脉关系,因此无论我们去哪里,都能受到热情的欢迎,按时有人接待,还能体会到发自内心的殷勤款待。
行程安排、时间表以及预算都得到了完美执行。Nvard展现出了极大的耐心。他随时都在,而且能非常灵活地配合我们计划的摄影行程——作为摄影师,这一点让我尤为欣赏。
在我们漫长的旅途中,我们还进行了许多关于亚美尼亚的有趣讨论:它的历史、宗教、城市等等。Nvard带我品尝了各式各样的餐馆,这些餐馆在食物品质、创意程度、地道风味以及地方特色方面都表现出色。Central Tour与荷兰机构Hanzebeeld共同组织了这次为期七天的城市探险摄影之旅。
谢谢,Nvard。这次旅程堪称完美,我真心希望将来还有机会再来!
