Exciting and unique destination with amazing guide

Exciting and unique destination. We were extra pleasantly surprised that the excursion was carried out even though it was just the two of us and no others, what a luxury! The guide was both knowledgeable and nice. Authentic and generous lunch the traditional Armenian way. The driver drove very well.

Very good option from Georgia to meet Armenia

Amazing experience, I loved to eat with a family in their house. It is the BEST way to meet these two amazing countries for a first contact. So different ones and at the same time so interesting. The staff was so easy going, friendly. The guide was a pretty Armenian girl with deep knowledge of history, traditions, food and she was open to answer any question. 100% good option.

Operator response

Dear bewatermyfriend, Thank you for your wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the experience, especially the visit with the local family—it's truly one of the most authentic ways to connect with the culture. We’re also glad that both countries left such a strong impression, and we’ll be sure to pass your kind words to your guide. We hope to welcome you again soon.

Excellent tour, guide and food

Absolutely incredible and heartwarming experience. We left Armenia amused after such a great day trip. The guide Kat was outstanding and made of this an unforgettable trip. She provided us with so much interesting information, helped us with all the passport procesa and was always there as a fantastic company. Thank you so much! The food by an Armenian family was excellent (we were able to taste the pure national hospitality) and the monasteries are stunning. Would definitely do it again, it was amazing. Very recommendable.

Enchanting Armenia

Seeing the monasteries was a privilege and an inspiration. Our Armenian guide was brilliant and gave us their perspective on all that history had thrown at her people. This was quite simply an excellent tour.

Well worthwhile taste of Armenian history and culture

This is one of the best day trips we have done. The length of the trip was about right and our guide Gvantsa, was knowledgeable and able to explain everything in an interesting way. We were only 4 people and the vehicle was really comfortable. The scenery was amazing and the ancient monasteries and churches gave us a real insight into the history of Christianity in Armenia. An added bonus was the delicious lunch we were served in a local home. I highly recommend this tour and the company Envoy Toiurs

Operator response

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you found the tour such a rewarding experience and that Gvantsa helped bring Armenia’s rich history and culture to life. It’s great to know the pace, comfort, and stunning scenery all made the day enjoyable — and we’re so happy you loved the homemade lunch, one of our favorite parts too! Your kind recommendation truly means a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you again soon for more discoveries around Armenia.

A beutiful day to Armenia.

This was a very beautiful day. A very good guide and driver. We got so much information and nice places to visit. The food was very good, also to vegetariens:) So after this day we where happy and satisfied. We where a group on 8 persons from around the world:) The only thing that was sad was that there is many stray dogs along the road and places. Many look healthy but not everyone. We got chance to change money to Armenien money. I will recommend to do that. There was some beautiful sellers ( not many) . And it can be good to support the people. Its a poor country . Thank you for this day:)

Exceptional guide

The trip was very well organised especially as we had two border crossings to deal with. Our guide was exceptional and really made the whole day for us. She had a huge amount of energy, enthusiasm and knowledge of the sites and the country. Lunch with a local family was amazing making this a great trip during our stay.
