“Great tour, Arpi was a very good tour guide, extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Spartacus was a very good and helpful driver. Noravank in particular was a highlight, good lunch. Would definitely recommend. Note: not really a small group tour as we were in a bus, but this was actually more comfortable than a minivan.”

“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…”

My partner, who spoke Russian, truly enjoyed his anecdotes and stories. Norayer was not only a safe driver, but was able to get us back at the hotel at the time we needed to be there. Davit kept us company even during the long ride going back to Yerevan. Our group is thankful and we highly recommend their services.”

“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…”
