5.00When we had arrived in Armenia contacted Land of Noah, a company which was well reviewed. They kindly and promptly replied us answering our questions and tailor making a tour including all our needs and wants. We are couple traveling with our teen son; we've been very lucky, we got assigned Arthur, a great driver, he was speaking English and had given us lots of useful information; he toke us around to several interesting places. With him we had a chance to visit : Noravnk, Areni, Korvirap, then lunch in Areni with a wine tasting which we had requested even during the tour. We have been to Gegard and Gari also, some monasteries are terrific. Arthur is a very nice person, punctual and willing to meet our expectations. The fact of having Artur as our guide made the trip wonderful.

Thanks Land Of Noah team for the unforgettable experience.
