Amazing Trip - Very well planned and managed overnight private tour with Jan Armenia. Starting from Lilit, the tour coordinator to the amazing driver Artyom all went beyond my expectations. Lilit gave us a very fair deal, managed and monitored the whole trip and assaigned us a very friendly and knowledgable driver. Artyom acted like a “real” driver and a tour guide (eventhough I did not requested one). He was very, very knowledgable about every single village/town/stop and did not hesitate to inform us about all the details. We are very pleased and happy with the two day tour and I would definitely use them again for my future trips.
