Thanks to the construction of the Wings of Tatev, the longest cable car in the world (5.7 km), the complex has become one of the most visited places in Armenia. On the way to the monastery you’ll have an opportunity to taste armenian wine in Areni winery. Our next destination will be Khndzoresk.

My wife and I had two first class tours with tour guide Ms. Lilit from Land of Noah. From the very start, we found the agency most accommodating in terms of our particular touring preferences and needs. As for Ms.Lilit, she proved to be the most acomplished and amazing guide: not only does she have a great expertise in the history, geography, architecture and landscapes of Armenia but she also communicates it in a very engaging way. Additionally, she is very knowledgeable when it comes to talking about curret issues and she is a great conversational partner. On the other hand, Land of Noah’s drivers took us safely along beautiful and long routes and kindly made stops at our request. We enjoyed both tours greately.
Dear Juan Jose Montellano B, thank you for the glowing review! It’s much appreciated! We are so glad to hear that you loved your experence with Land of Noah. Whole our steam enjoyed working with you. Come and see us again soon!!!
Our private tour experience was truly fun! My wife, daughter and I really enjoyed checking out the various attractions. A shout out to our driver Zaven for making it extra special.
Dear Senthil, thank you for sharing your experience. We are so glad your family and you enjoyed the tour. We hope to see you again in the future to show you other treasures of Armenia.
Our tour wouldn't be memorable without the great service of your agency. I am truly impressed with the attention to details of our agent to help us.Excellent trip in all aspects. Every day was a uniqe and wonderful experience. The driver Arthur was also very polite and helpful. He knows where to stop in order to take beautiful pictures.Best Travel agency in Armenia indeed. Thank you guys. Highly recommended!
Our private guide as Arman, an energetic and thoroughly knowledgeable young man. We felt safe with Asen, our driver, as he navigated the mountain roads and occasional traffic. We had perfectly clear and sunny weather for the dramatic Wings of Tatev cable car ride - we have been on many before and this was one of the best. The Monastery was in a gorgeous setting and very historic. Arman, at our request, took us to a ocal kebab (BBQ) restaurant where we had the emost delicous lunch prepared by locals in a town close to the ropeway. The Khndzoresk cave town was fascinating and scenic and was accessible by a suspension bridge over a deep gorge - not at all scary- even though it is called the swinging bridge. Arman found a local 4x4l driver to take us up and down the hill to the bridge as my husband’s knee was not up to the 700 steps down and back. On the way back, we tasted a large variety of wines at the Areni Winery- a nice break in the long drive, If you wish to see tehe cave in Areni in which the oldest wine in the world was found, ask to see that in the morning to make sure that it will be open., A long but fun and interesting day! Highly recommended.
Dear Joan, thank you for this awsome review. Thanks for sharing your experiance with other travelers. We are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your trip with our company. We hope to host you again in the future.
