Review of the $23 Tsaghkadzor and Lake Sevan tour from Yerevan, with monastery visits, mountain views, cable-car tips, and practical advice.
“I really enjoyed the tour. It was a lot more informative than I expected, and the way Gohar presented the information was really engaging - lots of fun facts which I still enjoy sharing with my family. The timing was also great, I think we spent the perfect amount of time at each location. I left the tour feeling satisfied about the things I saw and learnt.”
See Garni, Geghard, the Symphony of Stones, and Lake Sevan on an affordable guided day trip from Yerevan.
“The trip packs in a lot and is good value for doing a lot of things if you have limited time in Armenia or want to do a full day day trip from Yerevan . However, our trip included both Russian speaking and English speaking tourists , which means we had to wait for everything to be translated in both languages. Also, the choice of the ( extra ) paid lunch stop was totally useless. The worst food possible, would have been better to stop at a food court and order a quick à la carte lunch . The guide Tigran and driver were good .”
Visit Khor Virap, Garni, Geghard, and bake lavash on an $35 Armenia day tour with mountain views and expert local guides.
“Really good driver (Edgar) and guide (Anastasia) who spoke with a lot of energy about all visited places. Too bad it was a bit foggy so we could not see everything (some views), but even so everything was well worth the visit!”
Explore Khor Virap, Echmiadzin, and Zvartnots from Yerevan with a guide, local sweets, Wi-Fi, and simple transport for $30.56.
“This was a great tour. The city tour was good. We also visited several ruins and cathedrals. I was the only Englush speaking person on the tour, but the guide made every effort to describe everything in both English and Russian. A great tour guide!”
Explore Yerevan on a three-hour walking tour with a local English-speaking guide, landmark stops, city history, and gata with coffee.
“Gohar is gentle and always ready to answer every questions. However, there was not much interaction and she was for a lot of time answering/chattimg with the mobile phone. The tour description states 3 hours, but we finished in around 2.5 hours (including the walk to the parliament that was not included in the original plan, otherwise we should have finished in 2 hours). I think it is not worth the money spent.”
Travel from Yerevan to Tbilisi by way of UNESCO monasteries, Mount Aragats, a family lunch, and Armenia's scenic Debed Canyon.
“The tour was Tbilisi to Yerevan. We saw 3 important monasteries. Ended in the Envoy hostel in Yerevan.”
Explore Gyumri with local guide Aram on a 150-minute walking tour featuring churches, museums, stories, and Armenian culture for $25.
“The guide was local and that makes the experience extra exciting. Great English. And passionate.”
