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…

We loved this tour thanks to our wonderful guide Christina and brilliant driver Edik. Christina was passionate about the places and history of Armenia and really helped bring the places we visited to life. The sight of Ararat from Khor Virab was very special. As an Armenian I learnt plenty I never knew about both historic and current day Armenia and our teenage sons really enjoyed the day too especially seeing the ancient and holy caves and dungeons. A great day thank you Christina and Edik!

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!
