Oplev Armenien - Dagstur fra Tbilisi

Great experience. Everything about this trip was first rate. We had the Armenian Church explained by the actions of the Council of Nicaea. We were told of the many contributions of the Mikoyan Brothers. We got history and architecture details at a numbers of monasteries. And, had one of our best meals of our entire trip featuring authentic Armenian cuisine. Our guide and our driver made the trip effortless for us and catered to a number of requests for additional stops. Our guide was able to handle any question we might devise. All in all, a wonderful introduction to Armenia packed into a day-long adventure.

A fabulous day trip from Tbilisi packed into 9 hours of insight to a less visited country. Highly recommended inclusion to any time spent in Georgia

I found Kartveli Tours website and contacted them for a private day tour from Tbilisi to Armenia in early May 2022. It was a smooth and clear booking process with quick response and information from the staff. I paid full amount via PayPal 2 days before the trip. On the day, it was perfect starting with a very polite and professional driver picking us up at the hotel in the morning. The car was nice and clean with smooth driving throughout the trip. A local guide joined us after crossing the Armenian border, she was extremely nice, joyful, professional and informative with perfect English. Lunch at a local guesthouse was also great. We visited 4 historical places with guided information and awesome stories from our local guide. The trip was such a life time experience. Way too good beyond I expected.

We booked a full day trip to Armenia with Kartveli Tours. Everything was going smooth and they seemed professional until we reached the Georgian-Armenian borders. The Georgian passport control officer claimed that we Lebanese require a VISA to cross the border. We were under the impression that Lebanese acquire VISA upon arrival as many of our friends have been to Armenia from Lebanon without facing any issue. The passport control at the borders were giving us a hard time, so they did not allow us to enter into Armenia. We called the company and explained the situation. The first thing they asked us was to pay the full amount of the trip's cost ($240). We refused at first as it appeared that they were taking advantage of the situation, ripping us off, and not trying to find any solutions. The amount of $240 is worth of one week spending on tourism in Georgia, but we opted for this price thinking that we were dealing with a professional company. It turned out that we weren't. We told the manager Irakli that we understand that you made some arrangements ahead of time for the trip, and we are ready to pay the amount of $120 as a compensation. They asked us to pay $190 without any negotiation, and threatened us with the police (see the screenshot of their email). Companies are rated based on how they treat their customers under uncommon circumstances and situations. In our case, they were unprofessional, aggressive, and hostile. Our advise is never to come close on dealing with Kartveli Tours.

We made three-day tours with this organization: Armenian day tour, Wine tour to Kakheti and Georgian heritage trip. We got before the trips excellent, complete, honest and quick information and response from the manager Beka. (Thank you Beka.) Each trip was perfectly organized with nice and sometimes surprising interesting visits like the varied and copious lunches at local families. Spacious cars with very friendly, helpful, flexible and perfect English speaking guides like Natia. (Thank you Natia.) Who gave us a lot of interesting information about the country, the history of the country, the local people, the religion and so many other things where we were interested in.

The day trip to Armenia was a wonderful experience - very easy, comfortable and professional. Our driver Araik was very helpful, we didn't have to wonder or worry about anything. We had considered renting a car ourselves, but were so glad we did a tour instead: navigating the roads, customs and finding the beautiful sites in the mountains was so much easier with the driver. The company let us pay online and arranged the details promptly. The tour itself is beautiful. This part of Armenia is phenomenal - the green mountains are truly stunning. The three ancient monasteries were very peaceful and beautiful. The local souvenirs were very affordable, the people were welcoming. We finished the day with a late lunch of local shashlik, kebab, bread and salad - absolutely delicious. Highly recommend Kartveli Tours and the specific tour for a comfortable and beautiful cultural experience!

I had excellent one day private tour to northern Armenia.In the morning my driver,Malkhaz pick me up from my hotel in that time they promise. Driver was reliable and he drive all the way to Armenia and back. In Armenia I had local local guide, Armine, and she could tell me very much those places I visit. I am glad I booked this tour.

We had a great one day tour with Beka. Driver and tour guide were prompt and picked us up on time from Tbilisi to Armenia. They will also work with you it the timing doesn’t work for you! Overall great tour with great homemade food! Just please make sure to tip the lady cook she was great and works so hard considering people there making couple dollars a day if that ! The food was Amazing with all fresh ingredients from her yard! I would definitely recommend Beka again!

I had a wonderful experience on the Private Day Tour To Armenia from Tbilisi. The Driver was very safe and kind and the Guide was very professional, kind, personable, and extremely knowledgeable of the sites we visited. There are several group tours from Tbilisi to Armenia, however for just about the same price you can have a more personal and private tour with Kartveli. As well the process of booking was so smooth and professional. Definitely recommend Kartveli Tours!

We are so glad we booked this tour during our stay in Tbilisi. Our driver was very kind and great at his job. Although the driving in Georgia can be a bit hectic, we never felt unsafe in his car. Our Armenian guide Lusine was a sweetheart and shared a lot of interesting facts about her country. We loved seeing the beautiful monasteries. The lunch with the local lady was amazing too. Lusine even went above and beyond to help me find a specific souvenir. We are very glad we booked this tour, it was the best day of our whole trip. Highly recommended!
