History, culture, delicious food, beautiful nature - I really enjoyed the tour with Jasmine, I learned so much about Armenia for myself - such a rich history, beautiful nature, delicious food.
We were with a small child, two years old, and a teenager, 13 years old. My husband doesn't speak Russian and my daughter doesn't understand English. Jasmine was quietly bilingual with us.
Visited Lake Sevan, pagan temple Garni, cave monastery Gegard, Symphony of Stones. It was startling when Jasmine started singing at Gegard Convent to show off the acoustics.

Informative, comfortable and well-organized private tour - Very informative and comfortable private tour guided by knowledgeable Srbuhi and excellent driver Daniel. It was our second private tour organized by Galina from Yerani Travel. She was very kind and attentive; she make sure that our second tour was in a non-smoking car, as requested. It was very important for us, considering the duration of the tour. Our Itinerary was also very well-thought and suitable for my teenage niece and I. Thank you Yerani travel!

Private tours in Armenia with Yerani Travel - We took a number of private tours with Yerani travel which were ALL very well organized. We were a family with children aged 6-16 . Our experience with Yerani Travel made our trip to Armenia unforgetable. The car was very comfortable: airconditioned ,Wifi and a wonderful driver (Garen). Our guide Elina was very professional and pleasant. The tour was suitable for the children as well as for adults. The explanation that was given by our amazing guide kept the children asking for more information about the place and history. This trip is definetly not our last with Yerani Travel, and we'll visit Armenia once more!!! Needless to add, the price was very reasonable and was worth every bit!!!!!
