Amazing Tatev Tour - Tour with everything we wanted to see in the southern part of the country, we liked the organized way the Marina guided the group throughout the day. The quiet driving of the driver (Joseph) helped make it a day that, although full, allowed us to rest among the different landscapes.

Armenia’s province’s - My sisters & I chose a long tour (14h) to explore the different provinces outside of Yerevan. Marina (guide) & Joseph (driver) made the experience feel like a dream. Time flew , it was already time to say goodbye to this amazing day. From the sight seeings (as an armenian seeing the mount Ararat for the first time irl was so special) to hearing about Armenian history from Marina & to finally tasting local cuisine, I could not have asked for a more perfect day. Thank you for making it an ever lasting memory.

Multifaceted Armenia - It is impossible not to express the care and attention of those people who for long hours have revealed to us the secrets of Armenia’s rich history, introduced us to many places, showed tourists the most beautiful places to capture all the beauty that saw the eye... Thank you to Ike and Anait for the “tasty” stories presented, special thanks to Araik for professional and comfortable driving, the sense of safety never left us for a second. Your sensitivity and attention are costly! It is gratifying that everything you do is done from the heart, professionally, qualitatively and at the highest level!!!

The day that opened Armenia - We really enjoyed the tour from Yerevan to Tatev. Guide Ike and driver Aro were with us. It was informative, interesting, there were gorgeous views along the way. There was a lovely lunch in the open-air restaurant halfway. For food we have chosen 2 menu options (dolma) - highly recommended. On that day we discovered another Armenia.

Long but Absolutely Worthwhile Day Trip from Yerevan - It was a long day — about 14 hours from 8:30 AM to 11:00 PM — but absolutely worth it! The visit to Tatev Monastery was the highlight of the tour. The one-way cable car ride, the stunning mountain scenery, and the breathtaking views made it a truly memorable experience. The view of Mount Ararat from Khor Virap was also spectacular. Lunch at the farmhouse had a lovely atmosphere, though the vegetarian options were quite limited (mostly just boiled vegetables). We experienced a minor setback on our way back to Yerevan when the bus broke down around 9 PM, about two hours from the city. However, our guide Marina handled the situation exceptionally well — she arranged for us to stop at a charming wine-tasting venue while waiting for the replacement bus and efficiently coordinated alternative arrangements for those with late-night or early-morning flights. Despite the long day, it was a wonderful and well-organized tour with incredible sights and experiences. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Yerevan!
