I am obsessed with the service I have received here. They made me love Armenia. Our guide was a very nice woman who spoke about the country with such a love, that I started to love the country even more. The girls in the office helped me find some must visit places in Armenia. I mostly admired blue Sevan. This country has a huge history and need more companies like JAN. Our driver was a real professional with English speaking skills, so he could communicate with us. In their company I felt like I'm with my friends.

I hadn't been to Armenia in a long time and was pleasantly surprised when a tour to Sevan was arranged for me so quickly. There we had a delicious lunch and a wonderful tour. The mood was great. Our driver was Ara, a smart and professional driver. Thank you very much for the most interesting tour.

Hi everyone, we were in Armenia for a week, in May. Originally we were with another tour guide company, and our holidays was going to became a disaster , but this guys saved it literally. We come across with them by accident, but they helped us, took us for a few sightseeings. We were even able to make choice of places we wanted to visit and combine them as we liked.
