Private Guided Tour to Garni, Geghard on Comfortable Cars
Description
We believe that traveling is more than sightseeing so we seek to let you experience every aspect of our country. In our tours, we try local food, play together, discover the world and have a person to person communication. In comparison to a group tour, you will have bigger flexibility. After the guide tells about the site, guests have the flexibility in their activity. There are boundaries in timing for the whole tour but you have big pliability of spent time in a particular location. Traveling with us is about all the not planed but interesting ideas that may come to your mind during the journey. To satisfy our guests we drew a number of versions of the same tours. These versions vary by activities and covered landmarks. One variant can be more relaxing whilst the other may cover a bigger variety of activities, from sightseeing and gastronomy to short hikes and climbs in one tour.

We had an unforgettable day visiting Armenia’s historic landmarks. Tigran, our guide-driver, was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and very professional. It’s clear he loves what he does, and his passion for Armenia’s history made the tour even more enjoyable. The itinerary was well-paced, and traveling in an SUV made all the difference. The level of service for the price is incredible. Highly recommend this tour!
Our guide-driver was skilled on the road, also he was full of knowledge and interesting stories about each place. The Lexus SUV made the ride smooth and relaxing, even on winding roads. We especially loved Geghard Monastery and the unique Symphony of Stones. Everything was perfectly organized, and we never felt rushed. A must-do for anyone visiting Armenia!
I spent 3 days in Armenia with a friend of mine and each day we made a different visit Mark. He is such a nice and trustworthy person who makes you love Armenia. He himself has traveled a lot and knows so much of other cultures. He spoke French and English with us as we were from France and Canada and that was great. As we were going to Georgia after Armenia he drove us to Tbilissi and we visited some places on the way. He is very flexible and you can organize on demand trips with him. He was our guide and our Armenian friend. Jean from Paris
As a solo female traveler, I felt entirely at ease and well taken care of throughout the experience. The team thoughtfully tailored the itinerary to give me the chance to sketch the columns of Garni Temple in peace, without interruptions. They also organized a heartwarming lunch with a local family, offering a true taste of hospitality. This wasn't just a tour, it felt like spending time with friends who were eager to share the beauty of their homeland with me.
Zori is a great driver and guide. He is a welcoming person and ready to adjust to you. The tour was on a high-end SUV car, so even though the roads were in bad condition it was a very comfortable trip.
Great company. They provide tour and accommodation services. We not only stayed in their apartment but also took airport transfer and several tours around Armenia. We had difficulties in the airport and they kindly assisted and helped us with everything, thank you Tigran. Tours were also well planned. Mark is a skilled guide and driver. He is fond of countryside so we also had several hikes with him. He loves his country and not only gives you overwhelming information about the visited sites but also shows you places off the beaten track.
I went to Armenia with my family, including my uncle and his kids, and we had a really good time. Our driver, Zori, was amazing—super friendly, full of stories, and really knowledgeable about the places we visited. What stood out for me is how he connected with our teenage kids. At first, they didn’t seem that interested, but as the trip went on, they got into the stories and started chatting with him. That made the whole experience feel more alive and fun. Garni is worth a visit, it just appear as a total different kind of thing in the setting. Also The car was really comfortable too, which made a big difference on the longer routes. Armenia has good roads, but some are quite long, so having a comfy ride helped a lot. I’d definitely recommend this for families with teens or older kids. Not sure it’s ideal for toddlers, but for our group, it was perfect. We’d absolutely do something like this again.
Thanks for the warm words, we hope to see you again soon
We had two separate tours with SkyHai. Mark has delivered a great tour by explaining the history and showing us these special places in peace. We had a very nice time during this trip. The lunch spot he recommended was also very nice. Would recommend Skyhai! Definitely worth it.
bedankt voor de warme woorden
What an excellent excursion! A perfect guide who was also our driver. Mark helped us a lot and made us discover many hidden places. He has a great sense of humor and is always ready to share all his knowledge.
C'était un plaisir de passer la journée avec vous Anna, à la prochaine
My sister recommended this company to me after visiting Armenia with her friends and being very satisfied with their service. In addition to tours, they also offer apartment rentals, so I stayed in one of their apartments and booked several tours with them. Everything was fantastic! Their team is excellent—friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. My guide was highly skilled and professional. I highly recommend them, ESPECIALY TO SOLO WOMEN TRAVELERS!
Thank you, Veronica.
