I was torn on visiting here with some earlier mixed reviews, and even more so on getting a guide, but I’m SO glad I did. I was here easily two hours and the English guide I had, Lillit, was fantastic. Excellent English skills and explanations for all the manuscripts and books she pointed out. The tour was about an hour or maybe more and I enjoyed every minute. The 5000 dram price for the guided tour is so worth it. Yes, there are English translations for everything but you won’t get a true understanding and context of all you see. Also Lillit, loved your bronze eye makeup! Apparently there is an additional cost for taking photos, which I wasn’t aware of, but Lillit me sneak a bunch. I’m so grateful to her and highly recommend her services! This place is a gem for...

From afar, the Matenadaran looks like a religious building. The big statue that you notice when walking up the street that leads to the building looks like the statue of a saint. But don't let looks deceive you. The Mesrop Mashtots Institute of Ancient Manuscripts is a museum and research institute that is dedicated to the preservation of manuscripts and books written in the Armenian alphabet. The big statue is a depitction of Mesrop Mashtots, the inventor of the Armenian alphabet. If you have the time, the Matenadaran is a short walk from Cascade, one of the biggest attractions of Yerevan. You can easily squeeze a visit on...

Հիասթափություն Ոչ զանգով ոչ տոմսերը գնելուց մեզ Չզգուշացրեցին, որ գիդը տրամադրվում է նախորոք պայմանավորվածությամբ, ներսում արդեն իմացանք, որ գիդը արժե 3000 դրամ, այն դեպքում երբ 1500 դրամ մուտքի արժեքի մեջ մտնում է նաև գիդը( տոմսավաճառի տեղեկատվությամբ) ։ Ներսի սրահներում վերաբերմունքը շատ տհաճ, կոպիտ ու վիրավորական էր, բոլորը ովքեր ունեին գիդ խոսում էին բարձր ու նրանց ոչ ոք նկատողություն չարեց, իսկ մենք քանի որ հենց աշխատակիցների թերի աշխատանքի պատճառով չունեցանք գիդ, մեզ նկատողություն արեցին իբր բարձր խոսելու համար և ամեն րոպե մեր ետևից շրջում էին, կարծես մենք գող լինեինք։ Մեզ իբր բարձր խոսելու համար նկատողություն անելու հետ մեկտեղ սրահում աղմուկ էր հենց գիդերի և նրանց օտարերկրյա խմբի կողմից։ Ոչ մի գրքի տակ չկար լիարժեք նկարագրություն։ Հ.Գ. մենք օտարերկրյա զբոսաշրջիկների հետ էինք, ովքեր հաստատ լավ կարծիք չկազմեցին հայերի մասին։ Շատ ամոթալի էր։ Շատ 《գեղեցիկ》վերաբերմունք հայերի կողմից հայերին։

Decepcionada No nos avisaron ni llamando ni comprando las entradas que el guía se reserva anteriormente, adentro nos dicen que el guía cuesta 3000 drams, mientras que el guía está incluido en la entrada de 1500 drams ( según la información de la vendedora de entradas). La actitud en las salas interiores era muy desagradable, grosera e insultante, todos los que tenían guía hablaban en voz alta y nadie los dijo nada, y como nosotros no teníamos guía por el mal trabajo de los empleados, nos reñían supuestamente por hablar en voz alta y nos perseguían en cada minuto, como si fuéramos ladrones. Nos reñieron supestamente por hablar en voz alta, mientras tanto hubo una conmoción en las salas por parte de los guías y su grupo extranjero. No había una descripción completa debajo de ninguno de los libros. PD estábamos con turistas que definitivamente no tenían una buena opinión sobre los armenios. Fue muy vergonzoso. Muy 《hermoso》 trato por parte de los armenios a...
