Smoothest experience we had in Armenia! - We had a great and smooth experience with Jan Armenia Tours! There was a small hiccup related to the car being an electric car and a charger facility co-incidentally not working but it was handled extremely professionally by the driver. Hats off to Davit Tovmasyan and Mary Matevosyan for making our visit memorable!

In depth tour - We did the private tour which included Khor Virap, Tatev, Arnei, Noravank and Shake Waterfall. Our driver was Ruben and did a wonderful job driving us, looking out for us and handling the tickets. We were driven in new BYD SUV which was nice. Weather was great. You must prepared yourself for a long day to hit all these sites in one day but since we were short of time, it was perfect for us.

Two-person tour to Tatev. May 2025. - Thank you so much for travelling with the beautiful, kind and attentive driver and storyteller Tigran on a tour to Tatev. The day trip will be remembered for a long time in an extremely positive way. The colourful places were accompanied by interesting stories and legends. Definitely recommend tour and driver. 10/10.

Amazing Experience in Armenia - Hands down one of the best experiences I have ever had with a touring company. Sargis was super knowledgeable and passionate about the history he shared, and Arthur was a fantastic driver. They were on-time, professional and always ensured that I felt comfortable and safe. The office itself was communicative and super easy to work with. They are my first choice for any future tours and transport needs. I was able to experience their airport transfer service, full-day tour and local Yerevan tour as well. Great company and team!

A perfect day with the perfect guide - Another beautiful day with our guide Maryam Margaryan whose company we had requested after our tour with her to Garni and Geghard a few days earlier. On our first stop on our way to Khor Virap, not only were we generously treated to Armenian coffee and dried fruits and nuts by the owner of the place, but we were also greeted by the snowy peak of majestic Mount Ararat. Khor Virap is worth the visit, while Noravank monastery is a real gem that should not be missed. Our guide Maryam was as informative, pleasant and helpful as during our first visit with her, and the driver Ara was very courteous and professional. The whole trip was perfectly well organised by Hyur and up to our expectations.

Best tour we did in Armenia! - The tour was very interesting and we saw very beautiful places. We felt very safe the whole time with our driver Karen. We had enough time everywhere to take photos and explore the area. We would book a tour with Jan Armenia Tours again at any time. We were very well informed about the pickup and the provider also ensured that everything was in order during the tour. We can highly recommend the tour!

Tatev and Noravenk - solo trip - December 2023 - Pls don’t miss Tatev - the drive from Yerevan to Tatev is really amazing - we pass thru two beautiful mountains, covered fully with snow. It’s a long drive, abt 4 hrs from Yerevan- so start early, by 8am atleast Pls plan your drive back to Yerevan - it gets dark by 6 pm and if the weather is extreme they close the roads in the mountain - I got stuck near the mountain peak - our vehicle was waiting for more than an hour, then I had to stay the night in the mountain (in a motel in nearby village) - Unplanned but the experience was out of the world Tatev rope car was good as well (but the drive to Tatev >>> Tatev) Noravenk monastery was beautiful, placed amidst beautiful mountains - the view and experience was amazing Ara and Lilit from Jan Armenia were really helpful, especially when I got stuck in the mountains. They supported extremely well - Thanks !

Amazed - The best thing you can do whenever in Armenia, I traveled with my daughter and her friends, Armenia is a place worth seeing, but we would not have felt so comfortable if we didn't find Jan support. If I am not mistaken they also ara a TIC in Armenia, however Im not sure about it. But the servicec with tours is something very excellent. We have taken 3 tours with them, one city tour in Yerevan(walking), tour to Noravank and Tatev (cable car also) and transfwr to the airport. My daughter doesnt like long roads (but me and her friends do) but surprisingly the best thing about these trips were that she didn't even feel uncomfortable or bad. Thank you so much for these trips ❤️❤️❤️

You want to feel like you've come to visit relatives who have missed you very much - then it's JanArmenia!!! - Our introduction to JanArmenia started with an airport transfer service. They ordered transfers while in Sheremetyevo, debited JanArmenia via the Internet, stipulated all details and flew to Yerevan. By the way, payment made by the card WORLD!!! The driver greeted us with a smile at the airport as the most precious guests!!! Helped me with my luggage, loaded it all on the trolley and then put it in the trunk! Car - minivan, we were 5 people - clean, air conditioning, soft music, bottled water!!! How nice, from the first minutes of being in Armenia, after a long flight, to feel comfortable and cared for. On the way, at our request, we stopped by to exchange money and then buy food! The cost of the service was not affected, the driver showed us everything with such a warm welcome and waited with a smile for everything to be prepared. It was past midnight, but the driver never rushed us, but on the contrary even specified if there was anything else to do! After this transfer, there was of course confidence and confidence in the high quality and other services from this company. The next morning we were already on our way to Noravank, Choir Virap and Tatev , with the already native JanArmenia. And when a day later decided to visit Garney and Gegard , then the choice of the company that would like to entrust our journey on was in doubt!!!! And this tour and the experience of it paid off, and we went with different employees of this company! Clean and comfortable cars, polite drivers (Henry, for example, is an amazing person, good-natured, open, polite, and also speaks 4 languages) The tour guides, Marianne and Marina, told us so fondly about these places that after each tour you begin to love Armenia and to treat its inhabitants with gratitude, for keeping all this and sharing the wealth and history of their country with an open soul, with every guest! Marianne and Marina- you have upended our idea of Armenia, its inhabitants and history!!! Thank you JanArmenia, for the professionalism, the team you have assembled, for your hard but, bringing happiness to other people, work!!! See you later!!!
