This tour was amazing. My wife and I opted for the private tour and had just the driver. The tour was really well organised. We had a minor issue locating the vehicle and driver in the morning (to be expected as we were being picked up from a very busy location with heavy traffic) and the staff were quick to help and sort everything out. They were diligent, friendly and efficient. The tour was spectacular with the most amazing sights. The driver, was very professional, cordial and considerate. We ordered vegan food for lunch and were really impressed and touched by the fact that he ordered the same for himself out of consideration for us! Worth mentioning that we had (unfortunately) pre booked another tour with a different provider and we had a very different experience. If we hadn’t pre booked the other tour in advance, we would have chosen Yerani again. Thank you for a most wonderful day!
Great experience

Everything was great -- pickup from our hotel, the tour itself and then drop off where we requested. The tour conducted by the guide, plus there is also a car driver, so guide's full attention is on you. We really enjoyed the tour and recommend it to everybody, who visits Yerevan for a few days.
Gor, very nice guide in Spanish and Portuguese

We loved the tour. We booked an English speaking driver but Gor, our guide could speak Spanish and did the whole tour in Spanish!!! He also speaks Portuguese. The driver and the car where very good. For a price we added Lake Sevan, Dilijan and fabulous Monasteries. Really worth it. Thanks.

Everything went very well, despite the heat, with enough time to see everything. Very good driver, Karen; Although he didn't speak English, we had no problems understanding him.
Highly recommended private tour

We are a couple from Italy and we had 3 private tours with Yerani Travel around Armenia with the fantastic guide Hasmik and the drivers Karen (this one and other two tours in Southern Armenia) . They were very kind. Hasmik really took care of us. She is extremely empathic and professional. The explanations were complete and exhaustive. The lunches were excellent, too (one of us needs to eat gluten free and this has not been a problem). Everything was as we expected. We absolutely suggest!

If you don't have much time, I can only recommend the tour. You can set the start time individually, it took us 3 hours for the tour, but a museum had also closed (Monday), otherwise you might need a little longer. I was picked up on time, the minivan was perfectly fine, clean, there was water and even wifi! The team was extremely friendly, personable and competent. The driver drove very safely and did not turn the Tour into a race. The Führer knew a lot, but brought it not only as dry facts, but also really interesting and sometimes funny way. So the whole tour remained interesting. There was also still plenty of time for you to look at everything and take photos yourself. I had booked the tour on short notice 2 days before via the internet. Communication went great in English by email, very fast and clear, payment can also be done in different ways, everything was very flexible. I can really recommend the agency, I would also book a tour about it again and again. Thank you for this great first insight into Armenian history and culture!
