Individual Vacation Package to Garney - Took a one-on-one tour to Garney. Everything went great, the driver arrived on time, the car is nice, in the car wifi, water. The driver told me where he needed to go - walk him. Anyway, it's okay.

Solid reliable - Due to time constraints no group tour was suitable. So I hired Jan. Driver only for a half day tour. They were 100% reliable. Arrived on time. Good car. Clean car. Lovely driver who was accommodating and friendly. I got exactly what I wanted with no hassle at all

Awesome and Memorable - Our driver Tigray was fantastic and very helpful. It was a safe and enjoyable journey. The car was very clean inside and out. The places we got to go to were beautiful, both naturally and historically and Tigray was kind enough to share details about the sites and Armenia in general. There was no hassle or issue. 5 stars!

Great tour experience - Our tour guide, Arev, and our driver David, were awesome! It was a bonus that Arev had some knowledge of the local wildflowers that she shared during the tour which was a real treat.

Spend just a little more for 100x value - If you want to actually enjoy the day while learning about Armenia and seeing the sites, go with this tour. After so many "group tours" where we couldn't hear what the guide was saying while being stuck in a crappy bus with no air conditioning and rushed in every site, we decided to spend a bit more for the quality. And gosh, it was such a big difference. First, we were able to select the time we would like to be picked up. Both the driver and the guide who speaks perfect English showed up right on time. The guide, Arev, was so passionate about her job as a tour guide and was equally knowledgeable about Armenia not just the sites we visited but the history, politics, culture and Yerevan. We felt so lucky to have had her as our guide. David, our driver, was also an excellent driver and spoke English as well. We learned that he just got his dentist license after 8.5 years of hard working. Congrats again, David! Four of us had a blast that day. One of our planned sites was not accessible due to road closure and Arev quickly handled it smoothly and professionally by giving us three alternative options we could choose from. The option we chose added three more sites and it added a couple more hours to the trip but we didn't feel either our tour guide or driver was reluctant to go extra hours. We really appreciated Arev and David's professionalism, knowledge and companionship and enjoyed the trip so much. I hope all of you fellow travellers have the similar good luck as we had in your day trips in Yerevan!

Would recommend 100% - It was a wonderful trip with David as our driver and Anna as our guide. Both of them did their best to offer us the best experience possible despite the construction of the road. Anna told us a lot about the history of the places we visited. We also tried freshly baked lavash straight from the tonir.
