Excellent experience, wonderful service.
We found the Tatev - Travel tourist office on TripAdvisor. Booked a tour to Lake Sevan, Dilijan right away. The guide Arsen warmly welcomed us. He introduced us to Armenia and its sights. Our relationship was not just like tourists and a guide. We were one company - friends! With Arsen, we learned about Armenia more deeply; we experienced all of Arsen's love for his homeland. We didn't have any other tours in our plans, but we didn't want to miss the chance to see other sights and hear Arsen again. And we booked the Garny tour, Gegard with Arsen. And again it was a wonderful tour! Also, I want to emphasize the professionalism of the office workers and bus drivers. I recommend everyone use the services of Tatev Travel to get acquainted with Armenia and its rich culture! We are sure we will come back! With great love from Greece! Karina-Panos

A wonderful 2nd time visit to one of my Favourite country 🇦🇲 with my favourite Armenian brother Mr. Vahe Arakelyan
My second visit to Armenia was nothing short of amazing, and a huge part of that unforgettable experience to see my brother Vahe Arakelyan again.
From breathtaking mountains and ancient monasteries to hidden local gems and authentic Armenian hospitality, every day was filled with adventure, laughter, and incredible memories. Vahe’s deep knowledge of Armenia, passion for his country, and warm personality made the trip truly special.
This was my second time exploring Armenia, and thanks to Vahe, I discovered even more beauty, culture, and history than before. He went above and beyond to ensure every moment was enjoyable and memorable.
If you’re planning to visit Armenia and want an authentic, fun, and unforgettable experience, I highly recommend Vahe Arakelian. One of my favorite and amazing human being , and now someone I proudly call my brother.
Thank you, Vahe, for another fire experience in Armenia. Until the next adventure!
Thank you once again my brother ♥️

An amazing vacation to Armenia with amazing Armenian brother Vahe Arakelyan
We visited Yerevan in May 2026 and had the pleasure of meeting Vahe, who was our driver and guide throughout the trip. From day one, he made us feel comfortable and welcomed, treating us more like family than tourists.
Vahe is professional, reliable, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. He shared valuable insights about Armenia, recommended great places to visit, and made every journey enjoyable. What stood out most was his kindness, honesty, and warm personality.
Thanks to Vahe, our trip was smooth, memorable, and truly special. If you’re visiting Armenia and need a trustworthy driver and guide, I highly recommend him. Thank you, Vahe, for helping create such wonderful memories!

Experience was worth it
The tour was very convenient to schedule and the itinerary was flexible. The guide was friendly and gave us glimpse of the history of the places we went to and we stopped in between for photos in the beautiful mountain roads. The monastery in Sevan lake had 200 stairs but we have the flexibility to go up or not. Even below the monastery there are souvenir shops, fruit shop, bakeries and restaurant so you can opt to stay down and visit these stores. Overall it was lovely experience the road trip to all the places itself is really good.
