On July 24, 2025 we were on a Yerani Travel excursion, my daughter and I really enjoyed this excursion. We express our great gratitude to tour guide Anahit and driver Armen, recommend to visit this tour, a very rich and interesting program! Thank you for a wonderful day. Respectfully, Satenic!
Уважаемая Сатеник, Благодарим за добрые слова и доверие! Очень рады, что экскурсия оставила у Вас и Вашей дочки приятные впечатления и запомнилась насыщенной программой. Надеемся вновь встретиться и провести вместе ещё не один замечательный день!
Schedules are respected, the vehicle is very comfortable, the driver very careful, drives flexibly. It monitors the temperature in the vehicle. The guide is very well documented, she speaks very good English, very clear and very audible. She is also very smiling and accommodating. We strongly advise to use this tour operator, in Armenia for tours whether private or not, transfers to and from the airport which are very competitive. Congratulations also to the reception team for the efficiency, accuracy and speed of their responses throughout our exchanges. In a word, as good surprises, you can call on them with confidence.
Dear Philipp, thank you very much for your detailed and positive feedback! We’re glad to hear that the tour met your expectations. We truly appreciate your recommendation of our services and for sure, we look forward to welcoming you again on future trips!
The temple of ghegard and the choir in the upper room were in unique experience, sacred atmosphere, incredible emotion. Tigran is an exquisite person and very prepared.
Dear Davide, Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s great to hear that the guide's expertise and personality added so much to the visit. Hope to see you again!
I really enjoyed the tour with Jasmine, I learned so much about Armenia for myself - such a rich history, beautiful nature, delicious food. We were with a small child, two years old, and a teenager, 13 years old. My husband doesn't speak Russian and my daughter doesn't understand English. Jasmine was quietly bilingual with us. Visited Lake Sevan, pagan temple Garni, cave monastery Gegard, Symphony of Stones. It was startling when Jasmine started singing at Gegard Convent to show off the acoustics.

Vacationed with friends in Armenia in February. We had 2 excursions - a walk through Yerevan and the Temple of Garni, Gegard and Lake Sevan. We really enjoyed it. Special thanks to our guide Anna for the interesting stories and answers to all the questions, and of course thanks to Karen's driver for his careful driving.

We went on an individual tour with driver Arsène and tour guide Anna. Very pleased with the tour, enjoyed the tour, was given a lot of interesting and useful information about the sights and Armenia itself in general. The driver was polite and sympathetic, the trip was very pleasant, the driving was as comfortable as possible.It is highly recommended that everyone visit this amazing country and book excursions in this particular travel agency, because the organization was of a high standard. Immediately they came and within an hour they had already left for the tour.

I made with them 3 group trips and one private and everything was arranged very well. The tours were in English and Russian, good drivers and very competent guides. They offer water and treats to every tour. The times are calculated right for each site. Great prices, fair for the Service provided. Two observations: - restaurants can be improved - I would avoid double language because it slows down the tour a lot. Those who have to wait get a little bored.
