Peacefull and professional - 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.

Would definitely recommend! - 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!

Incredible 1000% Recommend - 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

Great driver and host, wonderful sites, and excellent value for money. - What a beautiful country and people! My driver, Ragvatz, is professional driver, raconteur, and the consummate host. The tour was excellent value for money and for anyone in Yerevan for only a few days I recommend it to get a flavour of the country and its history outside of the capital city.

Great view - All three places where amazing. I did no tour guide, so basically a driver driving you around. Garni was interesting. Not as big as I imagine but the surrounding view was something. Geghard was an old church but all the hidden dark rooms was like an adventure itself. Khor was a simple church but the view is something. Hidden grave that requires maneuvering to get down too. Think it's overpriced and took half day for me to complete but still enjoyed it.

Great driver, good service, very nice experience. - Great driver with the name Vazgen, he was very punctual, kind and respectful. I had the freedom to take my time and let him know what I would like to see. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone that would like to explore Yerevan and its surrounding.

Not a good experience with Noah , the tour operator ..on viator - 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
