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.
An impressive and unforgettable tour

5.00The service from Zavn was great, and the views were excellent. We love Armenia very much since many people there still believe in Jesus.
Perfect tour.
