A Smooth and Relaxing Day Trip from Yerevan

5.00I booked a day trip from Yerevan, and I had a wonderful experience. The driver picked me up right on time, was very polite, and drove carefully, which made me feel safe throughout the trip, even with snowy road conditions. We were able to visit all the places according to my plan without feeling rushed at all. I could spend as much time as I wanted at each stop. At the end of the trip, the driver also kindly dropped me off at a great local restaurant in Yerevan. I truly appreciated the smooth, relaxed, and well-organized experience and would highly recommend this service.
A good trip not a great one

4.00A good day out visiting 5 of the most popular tourist sites. Our driver Edward did a good job of organising the locations in an order that made the most of our time at each location. This is a great tour to see 5 of the most important sites. A good day out. One tip though. If you specify an Englush speaking driver please provide one. Communication en route is important for many typical situations during a visit. Edward tried hard but a translation app is not yhe same as being able ti ask a question on the road. I would do it again but only if a driver can converse in the guests language.
Fun & safe

5.00Honestly a really nice experience! Our driver was very nice and offered a little information at each stop. His English was limited but was very kind. Gave us water and let us know if we needed anything (stops, bathroom, food, etc) to let him know!! As two younger American girls it felt super safe and wasn’t anxiety inducing!
A GREAT DAY TOUR

5.00We booked a day trip with a non-english speaking driver. He used google translate to communicate with us and that worked out very well. On top of that, he had a very gentle driving style. No hair-raising overtaking or close up driving. We felt very safe. Thank you Eduard, for a pleasant and interesting day.

5.00I signed up for a private tour that included a trip to Khor Virap, Echmiadzin, Zvartnots, Garni and Geghard. Manya was an excellent tour guide. She was extremely knowledgeable about the layout, history, and significance of the cultural and historical sites that we visited. I truly enjoyed the tour and learned quite a bit about Armenia and its centuries-old monasteries and other fascinating landmarks. I highly recommend Land of Noah for private tours outside Yerevan.
Highly recommend it!

5.00Pretty busy day but visited a lot of beautiful sites. My guide Mary did a fantastic job and very enthusiastic. I learned a lot in a short period of time. For the most part we stayed ahead of the crowds which was nice.
