Great tour at my own pace. Got to see the can’t miss highlights of Armenia in 4 hours. The driver was professional and on time. Smooth and quiet. The car a/c made the trip delightful. A great experience.

Dear Andrew,
Thank you very much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed exploring Armenia at your own pace and were able to see the highlights in just four hours. It’s great to know that you found the ride comfortable, smooth, and pleasant, and that our driver provided a professional and punctual service.
We truly appreciate your kind words and are happy to know you had a great experience with us. We hope to welcome you back to Armenia again!
We had a great experience. The tour guide was very informative and we had many opportunities to stop on the drive to take photos and try some fresh lavash bread. Geghard was very crowded and amenities are not great, so better to use bathroom before travelling there. Garni was also excellent as well as the gorge which looks like the organ pipes. Tour was not rushed at all.

Beno was an excellent driver and the van we had was first class. Nectar was a fantastic tour guide. Very knowledgeable, very engaging and great English. I learned a lot and saw some beautiful sights and great scenery.

Dear guest.
Thank you for your excellent feedback.
We’re delighted that Beno’s professionalism and the comfort of the van met your expectations, and that Nectar’s knowledge and engaging guidance made the experience truly memorable.
We look forward to welcoming you again with Yerani Travel.
We booked it last minute and the driver picked us up from the hotel lobby. He didn’t speak much English, but he tried and he made the experience very pleasant.
We enjoyed the sites and loved the “gata” cakes he recommended.
Altogether it took around 4 hours, and it was just what we needed.
Thanks again to our driver, he was one of the nicest people we met in our trip to Armenia.
