Exceptional tour with Nectar – Don’t miss the wine and walnut jam! - I recently went on a tour with Yerani Travel, and it was an incredible experience that exceeded all my expectations! A huge thank you to our guide, Nectar—she was absolutely amazing and made the trip so special with her professional and attentive service. The highlight of my trip was the homemade Armenian wine; it was fantastic for digestion and so unique. Don't forget to bring back a few bottles because they are super affordable and you won't find anything like them elsewhere. They also have incredible mountain honey that is far superior to anything you can find in a grocery store. Another absolute must-buy is their Walnut jam made with whole walnuts. You won't find this anywhere else in the world—it is truly on another level and feels "supernatural" in how delicious it is. Even though the Shaki Waterfall was unfortunately shut down due to weather conditions, I still highly recommend this tour. Although I was quite tired by the end of the night because of the long road, it was 100% worth it. There was so much to see, explore, and try along the way. If you want to see the beauty of Armenia with a top-tier guide, definitely book with them!

Excellent value for money and very reliable - Fantastic company. Booked transfer from airport to hotel with them and it went so smoothly despite us being delayed I used the company again for 2 tours. Lake Sevan/Dilijan and the Wings of Tatev. Both were excellent value for money and the guide Sam was informative and relaxed throughout. Great experience of Armenia and we will take away many great memories.

A day full of adventure and unforgettable moments - This was the first day trip I have taken in Armenia and couldn’t have picked better! Although after an hour of leaving Yerevan, our minivan’s engine broke down, our driver Varkhan and our guide Nectar resolved the issue in a very professional way. Arsen, our new driver turned up to rescue us with another van and we have continued the trip. This unexpected turn has greatly added up to my sense of adventure. The trip to Tatev itself was long, overall 14 hours return, but very rewarding. The scenery along the way, the sites visited all worth the trip. Nectar, our guide was lovely, I enjoyed her company and the stories/information she shared helped us better understand local culture. We have spent just about the right amount of time at each sites and have been shown some hidden gem photo spots as well. We did enjoy the warm reception at lunch and the cultural immersion with listening to Armenian music along our way. The wine tasting was great too, I preferred them to the wine tasting at another tour offered by Yerani Travels. Overall, despite the length of the trip, I highly recommend taking this rewarding tour and the tour company.

Tiring but worth the trying and the meal will compensate you - Once more Yerani travel professionally took us on this long drive but wonderful day trip. The Tatev cable car ride was thrilling and the Tatev Monastery impresses with the majestic architecture. As for the water falls nature never stop amazing us with its creations. Nektar the guide was so articulate and spoke fluently English and with a vibrant character made the trip even more interesting. Culinary no matter which of the set menus would be chosen there was a big variety of salads soup and main course and all was exceptional tasty and the restaurant owner was welcoming offering his own vodka production and treats that made the difference. The wine tasting gave a chance to taste both grapes and fruit wine products that were of interest.

Maybe the best tour of Yerevan - It was a wonderful experience with wonderful people. Anastasia, our guide, has always been with us and our requirements. In addition to the other tours, I highly recommend this one. You will not regret it! Thank you Anastasia, thank you to the driver, thank you Armenia!

Peak Armenian Experience - I had another tour operator cancel on me last minute, so I reached out to Yerani Travel and was surprised to find they could accommodate me the next morning with a trip to Tatev. I was even able to pay the Tatev admission fee in advance during booking. I didn’t think I would be able to do Tatev because of the length of the trip, but it ended up being the peak of my trip to Armenia so far. The drive itself is long, but a mesmerizing part of the experience with plenty of interesting sites along the way. The group was about 14 people, so there was plenty of space in the van to be comfortable. Crowds at the tourist sites were modest and easy to navigate. The tour guide, Anastasia, was phenomenal, warm, welcoming, funny, and knowledgeable about anything interesting we stopped at or drove by along the way. And since I had mentioned it was my birthday to her, she elevated the experience beyond my expectations, kindly gifting me a cake at the rest stop. The driver, Maret or Marik? I am not sure of the spelling, but he drove responsibly and smoothly all day, and seemed to have a smile on his face much of the day. Overall, a day I’ll never forget. A trip best suited for those seeking the ultimate experience in Armenia if you have the time.

Greatest experience of the whole trip with a very good guide:) - Anahit Lalayan was our guide. She was the best guide of our trip! We travelled a long distance through many countries (Albania, North Macedonia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Georgia and Armenia) and had booked and participated in many tours through Get Your Guide or Tripadvisor. Anahit Lalayan was by far the best guide! She has incredible expertise on Armenia. She is courteous, friendly and very well organized. She answers all questions and responds to the guests. She showed us Armenia and was very authentic. An incredible experience with a great guide! Overall, it must be said that Yerani Travel is a very serious and well-organized Enterprise. Thanks for the great experience! We would book again at any time with Yerani Travel if we are in Armenia.

Probably give better - + Tartev is great The waterfall is beautiful and we got the best dried fruit in Armenia The girl who made the wine tasting was great. - Food is not worth it. Better take snacks and eat in Yerevan evening. The guide was ok, but I don't know to this day why allegedly the guy of wings of tartev invented should be in jail in Baku. Not enough English was spoken due to the largest group of Russians
