Great day trip - Great trip. Got so much into the day. The temple, monastery, stones, viewpoint were all beautiful and lunch was good. Special thanks to our excellent guide Anahit, one of the best I've ever had!

Lovely tour to enjoy history and nature - Grear tour as starting point to admire nature beauty and history of Armenia. The speed is fine and you have enough time to enjoy each spot inclusive time for eat. The guide was super friendly and knowledgeable. We definitely recommend this one.

Must Do Day Tour while in Yerevan - Highly recommended day tour while in Yerevan. One of the most historical areas around Yerevan. Quite close to Yerevan, yet very scenic. Learned a lot about the history of Armenia, especially pre WWI era. The guide, Hasmik, was so professional. Perhaps, the most professional guide that I have ever met so far. So knowledgable and was able to explain patiently to everyone in the group almost like a teacher! Even sang a short song for the group at a cave church to demonstrate the sound quality in the place. Amazing.

Amazing Garni/Geghard - The tour under One Way with tour guide Yegor is incredible! He explained not just the places under what was stated in the tour but also about the history of Armenia as a whole. Visiting Garni temple and seeing it's remarkable surrounding is majestic!

Relax Day Trip - The guide really did her job. Explained Armenia history, Church sites features in details since she boarded the van. Overall that was an interesting day trip.

6 Armenian touristy sites - The trip itself to 6 tourist sites was fine, but there was neither a tour guide (which I knew) nor were we given an audio guide (as promised in the booking voucher), which means that no information about the sites visited was provided.

My experience: Day Trip to Garni, Geghard, Charent's Arch, and Azat Canyon - I enjoyed the day trip. The sights were beautiful, and the tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. However, as a vegan, I struggled with food options. Despite mentioning my dietary preferences when booking, there were no proper vegan alternatives available, and I could only have small snacks for lunch. The guide did try to assist, but there wasn't really anything suitable for me. I hope they improve and become more inclusive in the future. Other than that, it's a good tour.

Terrible vehicle and tour - The driver Arcen and guide Marie did not switch on the Air Conditioning in the vehicle even though it was working on a rather hot day. It seemed like the fan was on. He had the vents off the entire time in the front and when I requested the guide to close the window and allow the AC to cool , she dismissed it saying the window needed to be open. What a waste. When he opened the vents for 10 seconds in the front and the AC there was cool air blowing through it. They just lied to keep the window open in the excessive heat. The other vehicles run by the company seemed to have perfectly run ACs. It was just an overall uncomfortable experience. The explanations during the tour were fine but the timings were poorly planned and the guide seemed disinterested. I will not recommend them. Also we needed more time at the Symphony of Stones.
