Surprising

The story and the lore behind Armenia is unknown to many but very valuable.

Excellent day trip

Had a wonderful day. Last minute trip. Ana was such an informative and friendly guide and answered all our questions. The food at lunch was also very tasty. And Alexander the Great, what a driver as well- very friendly and safe in a very comfortable Mercedes people carrier.

Excellent

I did private tour with Arev and Arthur and our group of 14 people with Levon and Khachik drivers. They were terrific! She is a wealth of information, high energy, helpful, engaging, adorable. The drivers were safe and accommodating. Three days, all great.

Most informative and stunning tour experience

I had a great time. Pick up was on time, our driver Hrach delivered a smooth drive, Anna was most knowledgeable and gave me a lot of history and information about the Armenian landscape, economy, religion, art and culture.

Wonderful Experience

Both Arthur and Rafi were very friendly and helpful throughout the whole trip. They assisted us very well and gave us all that we needed to ensure a very enjoyable and smooth trip and excursion to all the places! It was definitely worth the money especially made more comfortable with a toddler with us 🙏🏻
