Faith and love are the foundation of a happy life. All this can be realized in a journey through the history of Christianity in Armenia. - We planned a tour in Moscow 2 months in advance. They tried to combine the general direction of historical events in the establishment of religion in Armenia. In this connection, the tour was individual and includes a visit to the successive first Christian church in Zvartnotsa, then a visit to Echmiadzin with a tour of the museum where the famous spear is kept. After Etchmiadzin visited the Virap Choir, a temple called the "spear" and where for 13 years he stayed, St. Gregory the Illuminator. Going down the pit and feeling faithful was a special event for me. Besides, I was able to put candles in this holy place for my family. And by comparison, the next temple was the ancient temple of the Sun, Garni. The symbol of Armenia ' s cultural heritage leaves you feeling the right choice and strengthening of your Christian faith. The last place and the most significant for me was Gegard - a large stone temple of the true Armenian faith. The bell ringing and the divine melody that our Guide Manya gave us in the upper temple remains in my heart and soul forever. Everything we got during the trip is thanks to our guide Manet and driver Vosgen. We felt at every step of the way attentive and eager to share our love and pride for our Armenia. Apart from the temples, we were shown how lavash is born in the hands of beautiful Armenian women, which they made for us and treated us with great desire, while showing us how right and delicious it must be eaten. It's hard to capture all the feelings and impressions that have been received in a small review. I advise you to spare no time and no expense to get the main thing in life - a feeling of faith and love. And all thanks to the company that gave us everything.

Visiting many religious places around Yerevan in short time - The tour was good, we were able to visit all these places without rushing, and we even included a couple of extra stops to our existing itinerary. The guide Shushan was really friendly and knew a lot about the history of these places. It was nice to talk to her and exchange opinions about different topics from traditions to daily life in Armenia. Overall it was a good experience that I can advise to others who seek to visit many places within a short period of time.

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!
