The tour's great, take it, you won't regret it. - Thank you very much to the Yerani Travel team, everything was different from booking the tour before returning from it. Guy's guide was incredibly interesting, although I usually miss everything, I even remembered something here)) She went for the symphony of stones, but the view of Ararat and the nature at the temple of Garni was equally impressive. If I go on another tour of Armenia I will definitely choose this company again❤️

Great day tour, fun atmosphere - My driver Vahan and tour guide Anastasiya were wonderful, fun and enjoyable to be around. Our car was very well conditioned, clean and wifi kept us connected. There was a gret balance between guided time and free time at every stop. I feel like we were told all the important parts and the informative parts were engaging and interesting. I've visited these sights with my family before but I'm really glad I've taken the guided tour anyway. I highly recommend this tour and especially Vahan and Anastasia. They truly made the experience fantastic. P.S. the lunch was really yummy as well!

Must-See Places - Anastasia was an authentic Armenian guide who speaks perfectly in 3 languages. Our driver Karen always took us safely from place to place. If you want to see the green part of Armenia, you have to book the Garni Tour. 5 Stars!

Fantastic tour we had a great time! - My Family and I had been on this tour yesterday and we are happy with our experience :) The tour guide Gayane is professional, friendly and fluent in both Russian and English. We enjoyed her commentary throughout the tour! It was raining in Geghard and we forgot umbrellas. Tour organisers were very helpful and provided us with umbrellas. Much appreciated!
One thing that can be improved in this tour is free time tourists spend in Geghard and Symphone of Stones canyon. We felt slightly rushed. I think adding an extra hour to the duration of the tour would be great!

Ok Tour. Bad experience at lunch - Tour was ok.
I didn't order the paid lunch, so they made me sit by myself while everyone else was having lunch at the table (even though there was free space at the table).
This would be considered incredibly rude where I come from
