Amazing time with Arto - Arto's tour of Yerevan was a unique dive into the city's Soviet-era history, enhanced by the charm of traveling in a vintage car. This experience felt like stepping back in time, thanks to Arto's deep knowledge and passion for Yerevan's past.
His ability to unveil hidden gems and off-the-beaten-path spots provided us with an authentic glimpse into the city's rich history. The retro car not only added to the nostalgia but also made our exploration of Yerevan unforgettable. Arto's engaging storytelling and personal touches transformed our day into a memorable journey through time.
For those interested in experiencing Yerevan's history in a unique and immersive way, Arto's tour is a perfect choice. His warmth and expertise make it a must-do for visitors seeking to connect with the city on a deeper level.
Thank you, Arto, for making our trip to Armenia so special. We can't wait to come back and discover more with you.

A must do in Yerevan! - Our guide Arto and his driver were excellent hosts and the classic Volga 21 car that they drove us around in was a real treat. Such a unique experience that I would highly recommend to anyone spending a few days in Yerevan.
We got to visit the main Soviet attractions, as well as a few out of the way ones that we had no idea even existed, with Arto giving us context and the history behind these.
We thoroughly enjoyed spending the afternoon with our hosts exploring Yerevans Soviet past and gaining insight to the impact of the Soviet Union on Armenia's history.

Yerevan by Volga - We had a wonderful time in this very comfortable Volga with Arthur and Arto, very dedicated driver and guide. Plenty of photo opportunities of course but also very interesting stories from Yerevan in soviet times.

Having fun with Arto and Arti in wonderful Yerevan - A very unique tour driving around Yerevan traveling with Arti (the driver) and Arto (tour guide and photographer) in a 1962 Volga sedan. Arto speaks excellent English and provided a great tour around some unique and scenic parts of Yerevan with several stops to walk around particular places (Mother Armenia memorial, Cascades, children’s train park, etc.). Arto took photos throughout the tour. Lots of fun touring around with these two in a grand old car. They both have very interesting perspectives and stories that provide good insights into life in Yerevan and Armenia overall. A very relaxed and enjoyable tour experience with lots of good conversation. Great pair of guys to hang out with for a few hours on a beautiful day in Yerevan. Highly recommend this tour.
