Nice tour where you see many nice things - We had a very nice tour with Hasmik and the driver. Both were very very nice. We booked a group tour but it turned out that we had a private tour. Hasmik is a very sympathetic, friendly and knowledgeable guide. We had great times! Also the lunch was (as always) very good.

Day tours with Yerani Travel - My wife and I spent a week in Armenia. We did several day trips within Armenia with Yerani Travel and always had a great time. Whether it was part of a group (Garni, Gerhard, Kasagh gorge) or on a private tour (Lake Sevan, Salim pass), it was always well organized, the guides were nice and knowledgeable and drivers safe. We’ll definitely recommend this agency to friends traveling to Yerevan. Thank you Yerani Travel!!
