  • Mixed Experience – Great Places, But Timing and Guidance Could Improve

    AndeFrance S,,Dec 21, 2025

    - Review from Viator

    3.00

    I rated this 3 stars because: 1) Timeliness: The schedule was not followed, and we ended up about an hour late. Punctuality is important for maximizing the experience. 2) Lack of guide/leader: There was no tour guide or tour leader; it was essentially just transportation with a driver. If you’re looking for a guided experience, this is not ideal. It’s more suitable for travelers who prefer to explore on their own. 3) Time management: Time at each stop was quite short, leaving little opportunity to roam, take photos, or fully enjoy the sites. If departures from Yerevan were on time, the trip could have felt more balanced with longer stops. 4) Atmosphere: Without a tour leader, the trip felt quiet and at times dull. A facilitator to start conversations or share insights would have enhanced the experience. On the positive side, the destinations themselves are amazing. I just wish there had been more time at each stop to take photos and wander. Despite the above, my partner and I still had a great time overall.

  • Perfect daytrip, fascinateing landscapes and heritage sites.

    Wonderful travel across rural Armenia. If you do not have much time to discover the real Armenia it is a perfect choice. No guide but a lady always told us how many minutes we can spend on each location. I would buy more local food at the last stop. But they do not offer for sale only just tasting. But maybe i was not enough brave to ask. All in all perfect daytrip

    This was a great tour! Some of the sights were out of this world and so glad I did it! If you're going to Yerevan this is a must as not too far to travel either.

    We just made it back to Yerevan and I want to express my appreciation for the tour! It was amazing, the attractions were impressive and the best part of it was our driver, Lyudvig! He was so patient, kind, attentive and helpful! All of us were happy thanks to him! 😊

  • Lunch Hour took Two and 1/2 hours!!

    The sites were amazing but we were “trapped” for over two hours for lunch. The driver took us to a restaurant in Garni and we were literally there for over two hours. It took forever to get the food (which was good), but if I knew ahead of time that we’d be stuck for over two hours, I would not have joined this trip. My time in Armenia is too short to have so much time wasted. Plus, the sun is setting in an hour and we still have two sites to see. Very unhappy.

  • Great places to visit

    The itinerary was well-organized, and we had enough time to explore each stop without feeling rushed. The places we visited were beautiful and definitely worth seeing. Our driver spoke basic English but was very nice and helpful throughout the trip. Overall, it was a smooth and enjoyable experience.

  • Interesting destinations without any guidance

    It is important to note that this tour does not have a tour guide and that the driver does not give any guidance or direction on the sites visited. On the contrary, the driver showed a disrespectful attitude towards some passengers.

  • Great way to see Armenia

    Fantastic way to take in top sights around Yerevan, sample Armenian cuisine and meet fellow travelers. As there’s no official guide, you’ll need to educate yourself a little on what you’re seeing, but driver is helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend.

  • Enriching Experience

    This is a great tour if you are trying to see a lot of main attractions across the country in a small amount of time, our tour guide was very nice and fun to drive around with. The monasteries and viewpoints were particularly amazing. The order that the tour is in might be different than advertised but we went to all points.

  • Great tour with a few hiccups

    The tour goes to great places and the driver was good. Please note the meeting point is not a travel office, it’s a van parked on the street and it confused everyone! This was not clearly communicated beforehand. We also left 30 mins late while waiting for others and then had to stop for gas. This s a driver only, no guide. It worked fine for me but may not for others. I’d still recommend this tour.
