Travel privately from Yerevan to three major Armenian monasteries with an English or Russian-speaking guide.

“Davit and Norayer were great! They arrived on time and were professional and considerate. Davit was exceptional at talking about Yerevan history and culture. My partner, who spoke Russian, truly enjoyed his anecdotes and stories. Norayer was not only a safe driver, but was able to get us back at the hotel at the time we needed to be there. Davit kept us company even during the long ride going back to Yerevan. Our group is thankful and we highly recommend their services.”

4.Full day rent car with driver service around Armenia (8-10 hrs)

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 7 reviews · 8 to 10 hours (approx.)

This private day service gives you a driver and air-conditioned car for 8 to 10 hours from Yerevan. You choose the places you want to see, while the driver handles the roads, photo stops, and transfers. Artur has been especially helpful with scenic stops and a Georgian border crossing, though English ability may vary.

“It’s a long but scenic drive - minimal hassle at the border. My driver, Artur, could not have been more accommodating. He patiently waited at the two scenic stops on the way and helped ease the Georgian border crossing. When I wanted to stop to take a photo, he would safely pull over. Would highly recommend him.”
