This private day tour is wonderful. The driver, Zaven can speak English and is very very kind. The tour agency (Noa travel agency) staff is also very helpful. I recommended this travel agency very strongly .
Response from Host, Jun 2023

We are looking forward to seeing you and your friends in Armenia again!
Anthony_S, Jun 2023
The sites you visit on this tour are breathtaking. So you may ask yourself why a 3 star rating. First, I would say that there are too many destinations on this tour and they lose their impact by the time you get to the 4th site. You spend a significant amount of time just driving. Second was the tour guide. He seemed uninterested in us. I know the Armenian culture well, it's rich and welcoming. The tour guide was the antithesis of this. He seemed as though he just didn't want to be there. Finally, having visited Armenia before I am well aware of the roads and poor driving. Our guide tried to restrain himself but I found myself pressing the imaginary brake many times throughout the trip. Be prepared.
Overall, would I recommend it? Maybe but I would maybe try to find 2 tours instead. Garni, Geghard, Khor Virap together would make a spectacular day.
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Dear Anthony, thank you for your review. We appriciate your opinion highly. We are sorry to hear you have found this trip a long one for you.
Please note that this trip is very popular with tourists and they enjoy it very much. Also, please check your booking, it was without guide. We did not provide a guide service.
We will be waiting to see you in Armenia again!

Ashish_S, Apr 2023
Mary was my tour guide and I couldn’t have asked for a better person. She is extremely knowledgeable of the history and culture of Armenia, we learned so much about the beautiful country.. she went above and beyond in making sure we have the best experience..we had some extra time so she accompanied us to a winery..near khor virap..
she gave a personal touch during the tour..it felt like we were on a dayout with our best friend from armenia and not on an organized tour…
Will definitely book with the team again and recommend the tour company to our friends…
Response from Host, Apr 2023
Dear Ashish, thank you so much for your wonderful words. We are so glad you found your tour informative and enjoyable. Our employees loved working with you.
Hope to see you and your friends in Armenia soon!!

We had a wonderful experience with our Land of Noah Travel guide, Arman, and driver, Eduard, on our tour of Echmiadzin, Zvartnots, Khor Virap, Garni, and Geghard. I highly recommend this tour. The sites are amazing. Our first stop was at Khor Virap Monastery on the border with Turkey. Its location near the base of snowcapped Mt. Ararat offered stunning photos opportunities. After our visit to the monastery, Arman and Eduard were kind enough to drive us to a site a short distance away from Khor Virap where we were able to get photos of the monastery with Ararat in the background. We were then driven to the Greco-Roman Temple of Garni to see perhaps the best example of pre-Christian architecture in the country. At Echmiadzin Cathedral and Zvartnots we visited small museums, each of which house unique historic artifacts. The highlight of my trip though was our visit to Geghard Monastery, a World UNESCO Heritage Site that is partially carved into a mountain. We were lucky enough to catch part of the religious service taking place that day. It was a unique experience I will not forget. I learned a great deal about Armenia from our tour. Arman was very knowledgeable and answered all my many questions well. He gave us ample time to explore on our own at each site. When we returned to Yerevan, he offered to drop us off where we wished. Thank you Arman and Eduard!

The best way to see key and top sights! Efficient, friendly and we could spend however long we wanted per place (very flexible). Could also stop wherever we wanted for pictures.

ole_s, Oct 2022
Standing in front Echmiadzin alone, being surprised how big Zvartnots is, listening to the acoustic tinside the upper cave church as well as a great driver who made the day. If you only are short in town, this trip is a must
