Explore Garni, Geghard, Mount Ararat, Azat Canyon and Armenian lavash baking on a well-priced half-day tour from Yerevan.
“The sites were great but there was a lack of control over the group. We had English and Armenian groups combined and I dont think it worked for the verrry full tour. There was little knowledge sharing particularly about the symphony of stones, and the lavash masterclass was just watching some ladies make the bread without commentary for maybe 5 minutes and then trying some. A little disappointing that I didnt come away with more information but for the price, you get some great sites!”

We are well traveled and have high standards, and we were very happy with our tour guide - he was great and spoke excellent English. Time and money well invested. Drvier, Arman drives carefully and safely.”

“Nice day tour to see some of the most important land marks of Armenia. Because it being a off season the tour was bilingual. The guide Tigran handled it very well. He was a great tour guide overall. Driver Araik was also one of the safest drivers in Armenia I had during my visit which was great. Lavash baking is in a family run restaurant where you also have lunch together (paid by you) so suggest you order one of the options in the bus as there are no other lunch options close by. Lunch was nice family style served so recommend it. Sadly when I was on the tour…”

Review of a private Garni and Geghard tour from Yerevan, with Ararat views, a professional guide, hotel pickup, and useful booking tips.
“We booked a half day tour with a driver only (no tour guide). While we normally rent a car when traveling, the driving in Armenia is crazy and dangerous so we were happy to have such a professional and safe driver take us to Garni Temple and Geghard Monastery. (I think his name was something like Tigray???) He spoke enough English and we had no problems with communication. After we visited our last place, he even bought us a traditional Armenian sweet, sujuk. What a nice cultural surprise!”

Explore Armenia’s top sacred and ancient sites on a private Yerevan day tour to Echmiadzin, Zvartnots, Garni, Geghard, and Khor Virap.
“This was an action-packed trip and we did not get to visit all of the sites listed (Zvartnots was closed when we arrived), but our guide and driver were wonderful, allowing us the time we needed at each stop to really get a feel for the place. Our guide, Nareh, was very knowledgeable and also very friendly, giving us helpful tips about living in Armenia in addition to historical detail about the sites. We particularly enjoyed our visit to Khor Virap, where my son was very touched after he completed the descent into the hole where St. Gregory was imprisoned for 13 years. Mt. Ararat was only partially visible, so…”

Review of a private Armenia day tour from Yerevan to Garni, Geghard, Tsaghkadzor, and Kecharis, with costs, timing, and practical tips.
“This review comes straight from heart. When I booked this tour I had no idea that I am going to meet this amazing person Mr Ruben. He took care of us like a family. He was proud of the Armenian culture and gave us flavour of it in the short span we spent together. Not only he took us to places told us about the history and cultural importance but he was always around us like we were his family. We do not speak Armenian or Russian and he doesn't speak English but we trust me on this we spoke non-stop on various topics . Armenia is home to me…”
Review of a private Yerevan tour to Garni, Geghard, Charents Arch, and Symphony of Stones, with practical advice on price, hiking, and value.
“If you want to actually enjoy the day while learning about Armenia and seeing the sites, go with this tour. After so many "group tours" where we couldn't hear what the guide was saying while being stuck in a crappy bus with no air conditioning and rushed in every site, we decided to spend a bit more for the quality. And gosh, it was such a big difference. First, we were able to select the time we would like to be picked up. Both the driver and the guide who speaks perfect English showed up right on time. The guide, Arev, was so passionate about her job as a tour…”

“The trip packs in a lot and is good value for doing a lot of things if you have limited time in Armenia or want to do a full day day trip from Yerevan . However, our trip included both Russian speaking and English speaking tourists , which means we had to wait for everything to be translated in both languages. Also, the choice of the ( extra ) paid lunch stop was totally useless. The worst food possible, would have been better to stop at a food court and order a quick à la carte lunch . The guide Tigran and driver were good .”
