Highly recommended - We loved this tour! Even our 6 year old daughter liked it very much, though this may be due to the many cats we saw at all the sites. We didn't have a guide, but a lovely driver named Hovik who took good care of us, made extra stops for fotos and communicated with us in Russian and some English. Luckily both me and my husband learned some Russian in high-school so that was a fun refresher. For all the details we used a Lonely planet and the Internet. All in all, wonderful sights to see and a great experience overall.

Informative and helpful... - Informative and helpful guide, who not only told us about the monasteries we visited but also general information about Armenia. The pace was good , and although it did not affect us, the tour description should probably highlight the climb to Sevanavank monastery. The guide and the driver kindly agreed to a few minute detour on our way back to show us a memorial we did not know about but were keen to see.

Beautiful Vacation Package from Start to Finish - We booked a 5 person Individual Vacation Package to Khor Virap, Garni, Gegard and also visited the Asian Reservoir. Everything was very well organized from the booking process to our return to the hotel. A very interesting and varied tour, beautiful places! Special thanks to our driver Gregory and tour guide Anait for their professionalism and hospitality! Anait did more than a 'normal' tour guide. She not only told us about the sights, but also immersed us in the heart of Armenian culture, gave us a lot of useful tips for organizing further program. Lunch at Ashot's and his family's is a special highlight of our journey. We enjoyed the Vacation Package so much, we booked an excursion to Sevan and Dilijan. Guide Arminet was also at the highest level: almost encyclopedic knowledge of the plot, excellent recommendations... Thanks to Yur Servis for the excellent work that enabled us to discover this magnificent country and, as my mother said, its main wealth: Armenian people! Way to go!

One day sightseeing - We had a 1 day private trip across 5 locations without guide, but with driver. Honestly it was very relaxing, enjoyable day in a beautiful natural and architectural places without time schedule and in a comfort of personal space. Thank you our driver Arman, who was polite, caring and positive throughout all our journey. Highly recommend such tour for couples.
