Fantastic trip and would definitely recommend this to others. We visited loads of places with our driver Sergey, all of them really interesting. Sergey is an excellent driver with a fully kitted out car that was super comfortable for the trip. He was really knowledgeable about the areas and is a wonderful ambassador for Armenia. We could not have had a better introduction to the country and Garni was incredible.

Our driver Sergey was so kind and knowledgeable, and we really enjoyed our tour with him. He took us to places that were not announced in the itinerary, and knew the best places to eat. His English was near perfect, and his store of useful information was endless. The locations were vey beautiful and interesting, and kicked off our trip to Armenia in the best possible way.
Lovely ride

Hey, everybody! We had a spontaneous two-day trip to Yerevan (for a walk). Since time was short, but I wanted to see more sights, Sergei took over the organization of our holiday. After meeting at the airport, we immediately went to the sights of Yerevan: Cascade, Mother Armenia, Tsitsernakaberd (a memorial complex in Yerevan dedicated to the victims of the Armenian Genocide of 1915). After which Sergei recommended us to dine in the wonderful place – the “Tavern of Yerevan” and go on a tour to the Cognac factory “Ararat”)))))))))))))). On the second day, Sergei picked us up from the hotel early in the morning, and we went to the mountains, where we visited Garni and Gegard. I would have liked to have seen more, but we had to leave already, so we decided that we would definitely return to Armenia. As a travel agent, I responsibly state that Sergei is a great professional of his business, he loves Armenia and together with his knowledge transmits this love to his guests. Thank you, Sergei! Wait for us! Elena and Anastasia
We had a great day

Private Tours In Armenia made our short stay very fun! From the airport pick up up to the airport drop off, all services were exceptional! We visited Garni and Geghard, Lake Sevan, Sevanavank and the Ski resort in Tsaghkadzor and all of those places were breath taking! No words can describe our wonderful experience in Armenia... We are very lucky and blessed to have a tour guide who treated us like family. Sergey is one of a kind and we will not ask for anyone else. He did not limit us when it comes to time and activities. He is very warm, knowledgeable, caring and fun to be with. Most especially he is a good driver. We felt safe and secure all throughout the tour. Surely, with the grace of God we will travel to Armenia again. All the recommendations and kind words that we heard from our friends were true about Sergey. Sergey truly looks after his clients' well-being. From the bottom of our hearts, Sergey, thank you so much!
It’s like going with a trusted friend.

Sergey was recommended by friends who visited Armenia a few weeks before I did and I am grateful for that. He quickly and patiently answered my messages and so I immediately felt at ease. Sergey is not the usual guide who has a script memorized. He is a good man, an amazing host who loves to show visitors the best of Armenia... and that is what I needed more than anything. He treats you like a good friend, it doesn’t matter if you only met him 5 seconds, 5 days or 5 years.
