What are people saying about Yerevan

Sevan Dilijan Haghartsin Goshavank Tour from Yerevan

Alexia_T, Mar 2026

Trip to Sevan Lake.

The agency provided clear instructions and reached out to us a day in advance, which we really appreciated. Our guide, Vagha, was highly professional and truly passionate about history. He shared detailed and fascinating insights about the country, making the experience both engaging and informative. He also recommended the best traditional Armenian pies we’ve ever had!

Private sightseeing and walking tour in Yerevan

Tami_N, Feb 2026

A great way to begin our tune in Yerevan!!

We enjoyed a great and informative tour with Sunny Arev as our guide and Alexander as our driver. It was very enjoyable and comfortable and we appreciated all of the knowledge that Sunny shared with us, plus the special surprise toward the end of the tour.

Group Tour: Echmiadzin Cathedral & churches, Zvartnots Temple

David_C, Feb 2026

Beautiful churches; mutual respect for all

Had a wonderful time with Joseph our driver and Marina our guide. Unlike other tours I’ve taken in Armenia that focused about 65% of the time on their Russian speaking guests, Marina did a wonderful job balancing and giving equal time to both languages and all guests. The churches themselves were gorgeous and the Sunday services we witnessed were nothing short of spectacular!

Khor Virap, Noravank & Birds' Cave Day Trip with Wine Tasting

IoanaMadalina_S, Jan 2026

Very good tour

It was really good. The weather wasn’t on our side so we couldn’t see the Ararat mountains but otherwise it was a very interesting tour, we saw really nice sceneries and we enjoyed it a lot. The only negative was that the wine tasting felt a bit rushed, we had barely received one wine that they moved us on to the next and we had to drink it very quickly. The wine place was a very lovely family business though and the wines we tasted were very unique and interesting. Overall it was very well organised, the car was very comfortable and clean, we had enough time to go around the churches and the guide was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed learning more not just about the places we saw but also about Armenian culture and history.

Garni, Geghard & Symphony Small-Group Day Trip with Lavash Baking

IoanaMadalina_S, Jan 2026

Great tour

It was a really nice experience. We met the tour guides at the statue in front of the cascade. It had snowed a lot the night before our tour so all the roads were icy. As a result our driver was a bit late but our guide, Anastasia was there. As we waited she gave us a small tour of the square in front of the cascade and then invited us up to their offices and gave us each a hot coffee and some Armenian cakes. The driver came and was really lovely and carefully drove us around the whole day. Even if there was snow and ice everywhere he was very careful and we felt very safe. The car was also very clean, spacious and comfortable. Anastasia explained everything and answered all our questions. We also really enjoyed the format of the tour. For every stop she came with us explained why the place is interesting and answered all our questions and then left us on our own to explore at our own pace. The lavash making experience was nice and the restaurant had a beautiful view over the mountains. The lunch was nice as well, and we got to eat the lavash we made with cheese and herbs from the mountains. Overall a really nice tour, the only thing we regret is not booking more tours with this same company. Very professional and attentive.

The views were stunning, the stories were engaging, and it was an overall memorable and enriching tour.

Namann_S, Nov 2025

Would recommend 100%

The tour was amazing! Our tour partners Karmela and Edgar were amazing to travel with, they were patient and ensured everyone had a good time. The tour was structured well, with enough time to guided tour and enough alone time for pictures. The activities too were well spread out so as to not make one section filled with too many activities and other dull. It was all well planned, and exceptionally punctual.

Rene_T, Sep 2025

Well organised and plenty to see, recommended.

Our group of 15 or so people packed so much into six hours, across Garni, Gegherd and the Symphony of Stones. Our our guide was very friendly and knowledgable too. To be honest, everything was really well organised from the moment I arrived at their office in downtown Yerevan (which was really easy to find). Booking said there was no lunch, but there was plenty of Lavash bread, Armenian cheese and herbs to go around. Thanks very much!

Private 7-8-hour Khor Virap, Garni temple & Geghard monastery trip from Yerevan

William_L, Jun 2025

Armenia Adventure

A wonderful experience from start to finish. Our driver (Hamik) was excellent, and we could communicate despite his limited English and our non-existent Armenian and Russian. We saw what we wanted to, at our own pace, and went to a great family-run place he knew for lunch. 10/10

Group Tour: Khor Virap, Noravank, Tatev monasteries (wayback on Ropeway)

Jara_B, Jun 2025

An excellent introduction to Armenia

Excellent tour, beautiful sights with what is perhaps the best view of Mount Ararat on the first stop. A great way to see a large chunk of the country in one day. Very safe and professional driving from the amazing driver Jozef who navigated the winding mountain roads with great skill. The guide Hayk was also wonderful and made sure that my partner and I got to sit next to each other on the coach even though there were no seats together when we arrived, which we were incredibly grateful for. He also allowed us extra time at every stop, so we got plenty of space and time to explore and take photographs. The lunch stop is also very good and you get to try local wine, cognac and vodka. Water and pastry snacks are provided as part of the trip. All in all one of the best tours we’ve done. You may want to bring a raincoat and a light scarf for later on in the day, as it’s quite a long trip and it can get chilly in the mountains in the evening.

Cultural Walking Tour in Yerevan with Armenian food Tastings

Ahmed_A, May 2025

A tour rich in history and full of fun and wonderful friends

One of the most history rich tours that I have been to. At the same time, the tour was funny. Our guide Tigran got 5+ stars from me. He was punctual with the timing, shared alot of information about Yerevan history and Armenian history and his sense of humor was amazing. The whole group was amazing and I met really wonderful people there and got amazing friends at the tour ❤️.

Transfer from Yerevan to Tbilisi with 2 sightseeing stops

Anirban_D, May 2025

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!
