Incredible 1000% Recommend - This was an incredible trip by Arman and his driver. I could not have asked for more - his knowledge, kindness and attention to detail were outstanding. I did this as a solo traveller not in a group. Both made me feel safe and looked after. I would 1000% recommend Arman and his driver for any trips you have. I absolutely loved my trip and got some amazing pictures

Great driver and host, wonderful sites, and excellent value for money. - What a beautiful country and people! My driver, Ragvatz, is professional driver, raconteur, and the consummate host. The tour was excellent value for money and for anyone in Yerevan for only a few days I recommend it to get a flavour of the country and its history outside of the capital city.

Great view - All three places where amazing. I did no tour guide, so basically a driver driving you around. Garni was interesting. Not as big as I imagine but the surrounding view was something. Geghard was an old church but all the hidden dark rooms was like an adventure itself. Khor was a simple church but the view is something. Hidden grave that requires maneuvering to get down too. Think it's overpriced and took half day for me to complete but still enjoyed it.

Great driver, good service, very nice experience. - Great driver with the name Vazgen, he was very punctual, kind and respectful. I had the freedom to take my time and let him know what I would like to see. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone that would like to explore Yerevan and its surrounding.

Sounds and sites of some of Armenian’s rich history - Excellent tour to see historical sites outside of Yerevan. We went with driver only option and that worked out fine. The driver didn’t really speak any English but the three main sites we visited either didn’t need a guide or one could purchase an audio guide inexpensively on-site. Very comfortable, clean and modern car to drive around the Armenian countryside. Beautiful verdant hills and unique geography that varied throughout the day. The three sites themselves were interesting. Some had school children groups visiting which offered another perspective on how the sites fit into the history of this wonderful and proud country. Great, friendly vibe at each site with everyone having a fun time. At two sites there was a small chorus or a musician singing/playing inside the historical structures which added a wonderful atmosphere and an opportunity to enjoy the inherent sounds of the place rather than just the sights. After visiting our last site (Garni) we asked the driver to take us to the nearby “symphony of stones” which are a unique geological rock formation near a stream not to be missed. Some stairs, slope/elevation at two of the sites but easy to traverse. In rain they could be a bit treacherous. Overall, a relaxed day seeing a variety of interesting historical sites in style. Highly recommend.

Great visit around historic Armenian locations - Artur was my driver and was very friendly and happy to talk about Armenia and history. He didn’t rush me and allowed me to take as long as I wanted at each location. Would recommend this trip to everyone.

Excellent experience - Fantastic experience. Plane was delayed by 5 hours and the company was flexible enough to accommodate a slightly later start hour. Vehicle was clean, comfortable, driver was safe and fantastic and on time. A great day out.

The big three for Yerevan all in one day - Great trip. I chose the no tour guide option, so it wasn't really a tour but more transportation. That being said, my driver was friendly, willing to stop additional places if needed and just a nice guy. He spoke Armenian and pretty good Russian. I speak English, pretty good French and little German. Still, most of the places had digital guides or you could get information online on your phone. The car was newer and comfortable, the sights were stunning and the trip was well worth it.
