What are people saying about Armenia

Ewelina_R, Oct 2025

Well-organized tour with great insights

Our guide (Hyke?) was absolutely impressive — he speaks fluently in three languages, including English, which is not easy to find in Armenia. He was very knowledgeable and shared so many interesting facts and insights throughout the tour. The trip was well organized, and we visited many beautiful places. Due to some issues on the road, we had to skip two planned stops, but they were replaced with great alternatives, so the experience still felt complete. The images and views along the way were wonderful.

Awesome tour

It is wonderful. First the driver drives very safe and always with a smile, also a handsome guy. Second, our guide Nare (hope I spell correctly) is very professional and dedicated, she explains details clearly, answers our questions, give us reasonable time to visit, and very kind to help us whatever we need. I truly recommend this tour to everyone as those sights are not easy to reach unless you have your own wheel.

The tour was overall...

The tour was overall enjoyable and well-organized. We appreciated the cold complimentary water and the excellent AC in the car, which made the ride comfortable. Our guide, Anna, was very friendly and spoke good English. The food offered during the tour was both tasty and reasonably priced. However, the time distribution at the stops felt a bit uneven - some places were rushed while others dragged on. Our driver, Armen, drove a bit aggressively at times.

Tatev & Shaki Waterfall Guided Group Tour with Wine Tasting

Marta_P, Aug 2025

Amazing tour for nature lovers!

We had amazing tour guide Anastasya, she was so cheerful and well educated. She helped us a lot. Also we had a very skillful driver, and that is very important because the tour is very long. But it was worth it, we saw amazing part of Armenia that is very different of Yerevan and beautifull nature! You can buy fresh organic mountain tea, fresh pomegranate wine, fresh juice, fresh bread made by Armenian grandma. The launch in village was very authentic and everything was so tasty. You will also have ride will cable car that is in Guiness world record. You will see waterfall and breathe fresh mountain air. Also we visited vinery where we tried a lot of different wines that were very unique and tasty and also better and cheaper than in Georgia. It is small family business and they are producing it with love. We also tried the bread with herbs and pomegranate which is produced by refugees from Nagorno Karabah and it is their recipe and you can try it only there. Tatev monastery is beautiful and something very worth it to visit. I would also recommend to buy there from old women herbal tea, bread and some healthy stuffs because everything is from mountains and it is home made and prices are really low.

Private Half-Day Garni Temple and Geghard Monastery Tour from Yerevan

Since our time in Yerevan...

Since our time in Yerevan was short, it was difficult to travel far on our own. We also didn’t know much about Armenia, so we decided to join a guided tour. Our guide was Sam and our driver was Kharen. During the drive to our destination, we asked a lot of questions out of curiosity, and Sam kindly and thoroughly explained everything to us. At each site we visited, he also provided clear and engaging explanations that helped us better understand the places we were seeing. Thanks to both of them, we had a short but very comfortable and enjoyable tour. We truly appreciated their hospitality and would gladly recommend this experience to others!

Most preferred transportation option from Yerevan to Tbilisi

This is the most preferred transportation option from Yerevan to Tbilisi. You get to relish the magnificent landscapes along the way at your own pace and also reach the destination at the end of the journey. Our driver Sergey made the journey memorable. He was very well spoken, empathetic to all our requests and provided a lot of information and insights. Also got to know from him that if you take a return trip, there is a different route available with other sight seeings so that you cover a lot more of Armenia. Thank you Sergey!
