Armenia in one day - Arthur is a wonderful Guide. Very convenient when you can adjust both the route and the time of departure to suit yourself. On the way they stopped in unexpected places, where they saw and snacked on homemade lava and cheese and tasted pomegranate wine.

Unforgettable experience - Incredible experience that allowed us to see in one day many important sites of Armenia, with the impeccable Guide of our driver Vasghen and with the valuable information and tips provided by Gohar, who was more than a Guide! He provided us with numerous ideas about our stay in Yerevan, supported us in protecting some restaurants for the following days and answered our endless curiosities about Armenia! The price is absolutely worth it for this tour!

A great tour with a great company! - I’m so glad I booked this tour. Private tours always cost more than group tours, but it’s usually worth it - and the private tour with Land of Noah Travel Agency definitely was! I was able to see so much more of Armenia booking a private tour than any other way, other than renting a car, and I’m not interested in the stress of that. I’d rather just sit back and relax, and I was able to do that on this tour. I saw everything I wanted to see, and took however much time I wanted at each place. WELL WORTH IT!!! My driver, Eduardo, did not speak much English, but I chose to not have a guided tour and that was fine with me. He still communicated with me via an app when he needed to, and he was very sweet. I definitely recommend this tour and company! Everyone was very helpful and answered my questions promptly. Thank you for the great memories!

The compilation of attractions was great. we were able to see the most important sights in one day. The compilation of t - The trip was wonderful. We took a lot of nice photos. Our driver was very well prepared, he told us a lot about the country's history and places of interest. We walked at a comfortable pace because my legs hurt. Our driver took us to a very good restaurant and helped us choose food. His cheerful, kind personality and flexibility contributed to the fact that we had a great time.
