Hi we went with 3 vans with more than 50 people. You were no were to be found and your number not available. Unfortunately we had to leave without you.

The team is extremely nice. Although they speak Russian for the most of the time, they try to involve everyone. They showed us more than what is in the program. I definitely recommend it.

Guide was excellent, but buying the ticket from him was tricky, as he was not quipped with enough change. Suggest making part of the price of the tour to eliminate the confusion

Had an amazing tour with Areni and Arthur. The Symphony of Stones was unusual and interesting. Geghard monastery was special with an impromptu song by Areni that was beautiful. Loved the location of Garni temple. Highly recommend.

Perfect tour, very informative and delivered with the right pace. Our guide was very considerable with everyone's needs and always adapted accordingly.

The trip was very nice. Our guide Jasmine was very kind, reliable and has very good knowledge. I wish the trip was longer, because Armenia is so beautiful country and has a lot to offer

Excellent trip to Garni temple and Geghard monastery.
Incredible view and surrounding.
A bit of rush through, could spent more time at each location.

This trip was a nice way to see areas around Yerevan. The tour itself was interesting and the lunch was good! I wish there was a little more time to look around and get souvenirs after visiting the temple, but the guide was knowledgeable and offered a good amount of history throughout the tour.

Great trip. Got so much into the day. The temple, monastery, stones, viewpoint were all beautiful and lunch was good.
Special thanks to our excellent guide Anahit, one of the best I've ever had!

The tour under One Way with tour guide Yegor is incredible! He explained not just the places under what was stated in the tour but also about the history of Armenia as a whole. Visiting Garni temple and seeing it's remarkable surrounding is majestic!

The driver Arcen and guide Marie did not switch on the Air Conditioning in the vehicle even though it was working on a rather hot day. It seemed like the fan was on. He had the vents off the entire time in the front and when I requested the guide to close the window and allow the AC to cool , she dismissed it saying the window needed to be open. What a waste. When he opened the vents for 10 seconds in the front and the AC there was cool air blowing through it. They just lied to keep the window open in the excessive heat. The other vehicles run by the company seemed to have perfectly run ACs. It was just an overall uncomfortable experience. The explanations during the tour were fine but the timings were poorly planned and the guide seemed disinterested. I will not recommend them. Also we needed more time at the Symphony of Stones.

Great local tour to cover major attractions. Guide is punctual and knowledgeable. Adequate time is allowed at each location.

The guide Arthur was wonderful, helpful and worried for the group. His english is very good and he's always ready for the people.
LAIPONG_W, Jul 2024
The guide really did her job. Explained Armenia history, Church sites features in details since she boarded the van. Overall that was an interesting day trip.

Thank you for your booking.. hope to see you again.

Highly recommended day tour while in Yerevan. One of the most historical areas around Yerevan. Quite close to Yerevan, yet very scenic. Learned a lot about the history of Armenia, especially pre WWI era. The guide, Hasmik, was so professional. Perhaps, the most professional guide that I have ever met so far. So knowledgable and was able to explain patiently to everyone in the group almost like a teacher! Even sang a short song for the group at a cave church to demonstrate the sound quality in the place. Amazing.

Thank you for your lovely review.. hope to see you again.

I enjoyed the day trip. The sights were beautiful, and the tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. However, as a vegan, I struggled with food options. Despite mentioning my dietary preferences when booking, there were no proper vegan alternatives available, and I could only have small snacks for lunch. The guide did try to assist, but there wasn't really anything suitable for me. I hope they improve and become more inclusive in the future. Other than that, it's a good tour.

Thank you for your booking.. hopefully we will keep your review in mind!!!

The bus was clean and well air-conditioned. The guide knew a lot about the history and the sights. Unfortunately he spoke so fast that he was hard to follow. We booked an english speaking tour but we also had russian speaking customers in the same tour. Our guide did well with two groups.

We had a great time seeing the nature and culture of Armenia. Our guide Sati made great efforts to make sure we got all explanations in English! The tour was of great value of money. Also, the tour operator was great at communicating before and during the tour to make sure we had a great experience.
