We had a such great trip to Garni! Delicious lunch, great sightseeing and interesting story telling! Big thanks to our guide Samvel and driver Armen for taking care of us.
We had a wonderful tour with our guide, Samvel, and our driver, Armen. The tour was conducted in Russian and was both very informative and engaging. Samvel is incredibly knowledgeable—you can ask him any question, and he will provide a detailed and interesting answer. He was also very enthusiastic about helping us take beautiful photos at the best viewpoints, making sure we captured wonderful memories throughout the trip. Armen was a very careful and caring driver who also shared his knowledge along the way, making the journey even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!
Great excursion, the guide was very knowledgeable Samvel and the driver was quick and efficient Armen. The whole tour lasted the whole day and was perfectly planned and organized.
This was an excellently organised tour which was informative and interesting. Our guide Gayane was super knowledgable and enthusiastic, and our driver Ara drove very safely. Would definitely recommend!
We deeply appreciate your positive review! It would be an honor to host you again in the future!
If you like tour with 50 people, a guide that talks like an AI and which gives no personal touch, this tour is for you.

Went on a field trip to Gyumri, really enjoyed it! Guide Karen talks about Gyumri and Armenia in general easily and interestingly, first in English, then repeated in Russian. It was very nice to listen.☺️ The bus is big and comfortable, the driver's name was also Karen (convenient, don't get confused 😅)
Благодарим Вас за теплый отзыв! С удовольствием организуем Ваш следующий визит в Армению!
Great experience-we were picked at hour hotel by the driver ,the tour itself is half day -but includes one of the most beautiful monastery and temple in Armenia ,lavash making and tasting was amazing!the guide Arpi was very knowledgeable and friendly (we had tour in Russian language)
Your highest praise means the world to us! We look forward to organizing your trips whenever you visit Armenia!
Terrible lunch at an unreasonable price, even in the standard of tourist group meals, recommend to bring own food

Excellent tour guide and a driver
Thank you so much for your excellent review! Hope to meet you during our tours again!
Hyur service just doesn’t disappoint. Another amazing tour. Starting the day off with Garni, a temple with amazing atmosphere and next to the symphony of stones. Then moving on to Geghard which is a really cool church. And seeing the staff bake the lavash in an Armenian tonir is really cool, and it tasted amazing. Also, the food options for lunch were really good. Sevan lake was amazing, we got to take a boat ride around the lake. The view from the Sevanavank was breathtaking. Our tour guide Gayane and driver Araik were also professional. Gayane spoke really well English, Russian, and Armenian, and she spoke really clearly. She gave us lots of facts, stories, and information about where we were going. And Araik got us to all of our stops safely and found us great parking. Overall, an amazing tour that doesn’t take too long.
Thank you for the warm review! Our company will gladly take care of your vacation during your next visit to Armenia!
