The only pagan tample in Armenia
The cave monastery
From this place it seems that Ararat is not on the ground, but is “hanging down” from the sky. The Arch was named in honour of Armenian poet Yeghishe Charents.

I took the private tour from Yerevan to Khor Virap, Garni, Geghard, Echmiadzin, and Zvartnots with the driver Edward. From the very first moment, everything was excellent: punctuality, spotless car, service, kindness, and interest in learning more about my country's culture and sharing about theirs! Beautiful experience, highly recommended!

It was the perfect solution to see as many as i could in one day. The driver was excellent, very peacefully, very calm, nice car, no rush. I would suggest it with blind eyes.

We had the best trip with Tamara and Artur. Tamara perfectly explained everything to us. She even sang for us in the church, which was one of most beautiful moments of the tour. Thank you for that. Artur drove us in a very nice modern Mercedes Sprinter. We felt safe at all time. Thanks Tamara and Artur!

We had booked a private tour for just 2 of us with an English speaking driver but was very disappointed to meet the driver because he couldn't even understand a word of English nor could speak ! Although he seemed like a nice man but we couldn't communicate with him . Our tour was supposed to be 7 hours with hotel pick up and drop but by 1 pm we started heading towards Yerevan since we don't spent much time any where and don't go up to the khor virap monastery either .. We didnt stop for lunch or any tea break and went straight from point to point . So on our way to Yerevan we told the driver to take is to a restaurant on our way ..he agreed but spoke to his company Noah's Travel and the lady from the company spoke to me and said the driver will drop us to the restaurant and leave and will not drop us to the hotel .. although we still had 2 hours left for the tour to end and booked with hotel pick up and drop ..our booking was made on viator and viator should look into it
Dear Srilekha, thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent tour with us. We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced. Regarding the itinerary, our records show that you spent a shorter amount of time at the sights and chose to skip the Khor Virap Monastery. Additionally, you requested to be taken to a restaurant, which the driver accommodated. However, after seeing that place, you decided to visit another restaurant and driver agreed, but on the way, you decided to return to the hotel instead. While the tour was scheduled for 7 hours, the changes in your plans affected the overall duration and flow of the tour.
Vazgen was not only a great driver but also gave loads of interesting information, and made sure all our needs are met.
Dear Jana, thank you for your review. We are happy to know you liked your experience with us. We will be happy to see you in Armenia in the near future.
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
Dear Sheila Gallagher, thank you so much for your glowing review! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a fantastic experience with Arman and Vazgen. We're delighted that you enjoyed your solo trip and captured some amazing memories along the way. Your recommendation means the world to us, and we would be honored to welcome you back for another adventure in the future!
