Awesome travel experience - Jan Tours were very professional in handling our family group of 9 members. We indeed had an awesome holiday with their knowledgeable guide Ms.Nelly who was very friendly and flexible to our plans.
The driver and his luxury Van made our journey around Armenia very comfortable.
Ms.Lillit , our tour manager was very accommodative, friendly and helpful in all aspects.
I could see that "Jan tours" is a very ethical and honest company which treats the clients with utmost care.
I wish Jan tours and travel all the very best and I highly recommend customers to choose this company.

Beautiful Armenia!! - I have been in Armenia last month. Amazing people, nice country, tasty dishes, beautiful monasteries and churches.
I joined a group for the tour to Garni temple, Geghard monastery and Lake Sevan. The guide was very knowledgeable and clever girl and the driver was driving safely. These are very important for me. And the gastronomic part of the tour was also very tasty. We had masterclasses of armenian lavash, shujukh (if I am right), gata, fish and Armenian famous barbeque.
I liked the the tour a lot. Thanks to organizators!!!

Excellent all-in-one experience - This tour is an all-in-one experience of Yerevan and Lake Sevan. Not only did they take us to the important sites, but also immersed us at one of the local family’s house that prepared our lunch. They were really warm, welcoming and the food they served was so fresh.They also let us try their home-made apple vodka and pickled cauliflower. It was amazing! Our tour guides/host, Lilith, Diana and Seryoja were all fantastic hosts as they really made us feel we were at home in their country. It was definitely a fun-filled and gastronomically-full experience! A MUST to book your tour with them!

Delicious food, informative and passionate guide, warm welcoming environment. - Booking people were super helpful, guide (Ada) was clearly very passionate about her country and provided us with a warm and friendly journey through some of the history, food and beautiful sites around Yerevan. Food and drink were great. We felt very spoilt.
The agency were also very helpful with providing us with information (which was not just about their services) and helping us book a hotel.

Gastrotour with all benefits from Jan Armenia! - Gastrotour in Armenia is the best idea to explore Armenia and cuisine. First we were in Garni temple, after we see how Armenian bread is making and drink Armenian vodka:)
After the monastery Geghard we were in rural house for the lunch. Sevan lake was awesome and we loove the view from Sevanavank monastery. Of course, dinner with fish is best point of this tour! Thanks guys for that day !

Great for one day - Took our small baby on the 12 hour gastro trip and had a lovely time. It is a great taster to the country, and travelling out of season meant just a (plus 1) person trip so a very personalised service. Armenia's not the easiest country for visiting ans travelling through, and it was the right balance of stops and distance for a family adventure.
Host and driver were a joy.
Lunch was very special with the Armenian barbeque. Sadly, this was the highlight of the trip, and the fish by Lake Sevan was only half as tasty and a fraction of the atmosphere. Some of the masterclasses were only watching, and I was expecting that to be hands on. Not a drama though.
One slight gripe was that it appeared the order of the itinerary was being changed en route. While generally not a problem, working out meal times for the little guy was a bit more of a puzzle than needbe. I do recommend eating breakfast as the food doesn't kick in to later!
If it is one day you have to explore beyond Yerevan, this is the tour for you.

The Wonders of Armenia Tour - It was a great trip. Our group was all interactive. Our driver Mr. Ashot drove us safely & gave us a wonderful tour around those areas. There was no boring moment during the trip. We had great music-dance jamming on our return. Superb experience.
