We had a fantastic day, the sights were beautiful, and we learned so much about the sights and the history of the country. We also had a delicious, varied lunch served at a family home (which was a consistent highlight in all tours we joined Envoy).
We went on a private tour with our friends. The car was very comfortable. I communicated with Marine about our reservation since November, we got all information in time and she also kept in touch before the departure (we were in two different hotels). Marine gave us lot of interesting facts not only about the sites we visited, but also about life and current affairs in Armenia. We'd like to appreciate home made lunch in family house in the countryside. It was very authentic experience and food was delicious. It gave us opportunity to talk about armenian cuisine. Without Envoy tours it would be very difficult to visit all the places in one day and for sure we wouldn't learn that much. The whole tour was perfect and we were happy to visit all these beautiful places with Marine.

Excellent tour to a selection of Armenian tourist attractions: Stone Symphony, Garni Temple, Geghard Monastery, Novatus, Lake Sevan and Sevansvank. Very good guide Aida and great food in a family home in Fantan
Dear Angel D, Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re so glad you enjoyed exploring Armenia’s highlights — from the Stone Symphony and Garni Temple to Lake Sevan and Sevanavank.

We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back soon to discover even more of Armenia with us.
My husband and me spent a week in Armenia this October. All our day tours and accommodation were organised by Envoy tours. We had a memorable trip thanks to Envoy's smooth organization and friendly guides. Thank you Zara, Aida and Nina

The tour was amazing! It was a long day and we covered a lot of ground. This region of Armenia is so beautiful and I learned a ton of history. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, and lunch at a family's home was a real highlight. Highly recommend.

That region of Armenia truly is stunning, and it’s wonderful that you appreciated the history and local hospitality — the family lunches are always a guest favorite! Your recommendation means a lot to us. We hope to welcome you back soon to explore even more of Armenia!
Well organised tour of the main sights around Yerevan with a knowledgable tour guide and a friendly bunch of fellow tourists. My second tour through Envoy Hostel - both excellent - benefitted from an exceptional lunch from a local family as part of the experience. Great value.

Great tour and greater the guide! Saten was always clear, never boring, super friendly and enthusiastic. You can feel her passion in her job and her love in her county.
Dear Matteo, thank you so much for your right up of your tour experience with us. We certainly love our country and even more, love showing it off to our dear guests. Thanks for choosing envoy (more than once!) and for your 5 star rating. Hope to see you again soon!
The tour was very well organized: on time, right pace, and a safe driver. Our guide, Saten, was very knowledgeable about Armenia's history and passionate about it. I really liked her positive attitude. The tour included a homemade lunch in a local family's home, which was absolutely delicious.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. Your 5 star rating means a lot to us. Thank you for choosing Envoy Tours for your travel around our region - hope to see you again one day so make more travel memories together :) Greetings from our friendly team, especially Saten
This small group day tour was fantastic. The local guide was very knowledgeable and the number of stops was perfect and they were also different. The scenery in this part of Armenia is outstanding. The tour also included lunch at a local families home and we sat at their dining room table with so much home-made food. It was so delicious.
Dear Sasha, thank you so much for taking the time to write us a review of our tours (and hostel too! <3). We are simply thrilled to know you had a great time with us. We agree that the lunch experience is a highlight and we are glad you enjoyed the authenticity of it. We hope you have taken many wonderful (and tasty :) ) travel memories with you. Hope our paths cross again in your travels. Sending you warm regards from our Crew.
It was an amazing experience! Tour truly offers great value for money. Our guide was fluent in English and shared a lot of information and interesting facts about each location we visited. The small group size of just six people made the experience even more enjoyable. We were also fortunate that there weren't many tourists at the spots we visited, likely because the tour was on a Monday. One of the highlights was the homemade lunch at a local family's home, which added a wonderful, authentic touch to the trip. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for your amazing review and wonderful comments. We are so glad you enjoyed our tours which are designed to go beyond the standard tours. We aim to provide cultural insights and authentic experiences through our village family hosted lunches (and create much needed employment and opportunity for cultural exchange and growth in the regions). Thank you for choosing envoy tours. We trust you have taken many wonderful travel memories with you and hope to see you again one day. Greetings from our Crew.
