Thanks a lot to the organizer Sergey and the guide Vasily for an unforgettable experience! Sergey and I discussed everything very quickly and accurately in the messenger (quick feedback was very important to me. Sergey answered immediately and explained everything), made a plan, decided on the cost, agreed on everything as soon as possible. We had a private jeep tour. Our guide, driver and guide was Vasily. Incredibly comfortable interaction for all 4 days. Many interesting places and a lot of information have been studied. We didn't think about anything at all, but only enjoyed the beautiful views and historical places. Everything was organized clearly and without overlaps. All we had to do was relax and enjoy the trip. We have traveled all that is possible!) I am very glad that I chose this particular company and I am incredibly pleased that Vasily was our guide when diving in Armenia! It was with our amazing guide Vasily that we made our first ascent! The Ajdaak mountain is very beautiful at the top. If not for Vasily's support, the path would have been much harder. But with his support, 3,957 m up and the same amount down were overcome as comfortably as possible. Thank you very much!
I would like to say a huge thank you for organizing an amazing tour of Armenia!
Sergey and I discussed everything very clearly in the messenger, the answers were prompt and detailed, and together we compiled a program based on our wishes.
Our guide Eduard accompanied us on this six-day trip through Armenia and told us many interesting historical (and not only) facts. A very well-read and interesting guide, with humor (which is also important).
Thanks to the tour, we were able to see amazing Armenia from all sides and learn a lot of information.
Thank you very much!
We went on tour from October 4 to October 10, 2024. I liked everything very much! And the respectful, I would even say careful, attitude of all employees towards us. And well-thought-out routes, quite saturated, but not overloaded. And the round-the-clock readiness to suggest something, to advise. And a healthy balance between the entertaining and educational side of the trip.
The guide Araik knows everything about the history of his country, it seems. And maybe more))) You can safely ask him about everything in the world, from Armenian cinema to philosophical questions. Vladimir's driver is just a jeweler, so my husband still admires his skills! And his jokes have forever replenished my golden fund))) Many thanks to Sergey for the selection of such excellent employees, as well as for the personal approach to each client. Well, special thanks for the reasonable prices!!! It seems to me that no other organization would provide us with such a high-quality vacation, even at a high cost. Believe me, I've reviewed a lot of offers - none of them were even close.
Armenia itself is an incredible country in terms of beauty and climate. The cuisine is diverse, the locals are friendly, the history is striking in its antiquity and richness. But if you travel with ExploreArmenia, then all these advantages seem to double or triple. I did not regret at all that we changed our mind about going "savages" and turned to professionals for a service. Without an escort, we would never have enjoyed every gorge, every meal, every monastery or fortress so much!
Everything is wonderful in Armenia - nature, weather, temples, food... But the best thing is the Armenians themselves - friendly, funny, attentive, responsive. We spent 10 days in a fairy tale, we didn't want to leave. The tour was planned and organized specifically for our group, taking into account all our wishes. Thanks!
We express our gratitude to Sergey and his team: Vika and Aram. We traveled with you in an interesting, delicious, unobtrusive and safe way.
We have something to compare with, we have been to many places, we can say with confidence that you are professionals in your field. We wish you success and prosperity. Armenia and you are in our ♥️!
I want to share my good impressions of the mini-route for 4 days compiled with the help of this company.
We arrived in Armenia for the 6th time, we have been to many places ourselves. This time we decided that we want more information.
Advantages (and only them):
We promptly took into account all the wishes and offered an option;
We were met and accommodated in a hotel of the selected category;
The route is well calculated, the time on the road is compensated by the second half of the day for rest;
All basic expenses are included in the total cost, it is convenient;
The information is interesting, it's nice to build a dialogue. The goal is to introduce the guests to the country, not to drive them along the route points.
In summary, it is a mature, competent approach to travel organization.
And special thanks, of course, to our guide Eduard and "navigator" Samvel. Because on the way it was not only interesting, but also comfortable with these people. And this, in our opinion, is at least half of the success in trains.
Just yesterday we returned from the tour :Yerevan-Tbilisi-Yerevan!!I would like to sincerely thank Sergey and his team for the organization and for the teamwork.Starting from meeting from the airport, staying in wonderful hotels and of course for the friendly and knowledgeable guides Vasily in Armenia and Natalia in Georgia!!Everything was as comfortable and interesting as possible!!We will definitely recommend you!!See you soon!!
We had a rest in Armenia from 27.10 to 03.11.
We contacted Sergey (the head of the company) on Whatsapp, discussed everything very quickly, all our wishes were taken into account, and the individual tour turned out to be very dense in content.
I was very lucky to have a guide and a driver. Araik and Edgar are pros!!! We learned a lot about Armenia. We were not bored for a second…
Some positive emotions, we couldn't find any disadvantages)
Thanks to the Explorarmenia team for our successful tour.
After making a decision on a trip to Armenia, the search for a tour operator began. Explore Armenia immediately attracted attention, firstly, with very pleasant prices and, secondly, with the most interesting programs. After communicating with Sergey, there was no doubt left. And we were not mistaken! The week-long tour of the country was organized flawlessly! Thanks to our guide Araik, a man with encyclopedic knowledge and a great sense of humor! Thanks to the driver Artak for his professionalism and sincerity! And also to the volunteer Vasily for an excellent trip to the petroglyphs and a wonderful picnic at the Dragon Stones! Armenia is an amazing country with beautiful landscapes, ancient history, rich culture, original architecture and wonderful people! Thank you so much to the whole team for a great time! Thanks to you, only the most pleasant memories and vivid impressions remain! If you go to Armenia, then only with Explore Armenia!
We've been back home for two weeks now. I remember my trip to Armenia as a wonderful fairy tale. In ten days they seemed to have traveled all over the country:from Yerevan to the south of the country, then we went up to Lake Sevan and finally returned to Yerevan; visited ancient temples, a cave city, saw the ruins of an ancient castle, took a boat ride on the lake, tasted cheeses and wines from local producers. But I think we have seen only a tenth of the beauties and wonders that this ancient land preserves. I was delighted with nature, the sun, the air, the mountains and the PEOPLE! Many thanks to Sergey for a perfectly organized vacation, excellent service and attentive attitude to the people who entrusted their vacation to him. Special thanks to the guide Mariam. She not only knows an amazing amount, but also shares this knowledge very interestingly and with great love. I would also like to note the professionalism of the Artak driver, who accompanied us throughout the journey and confidently drove the minibus both on the plain and on the mountain serpentine.
At the end of July, we decided to travel to Armenia. I contacted several travel companies to choose the most suitable option. As a result, I settled on the offer of the ExploreArmenia company, which met my requirements for the program of visiting wineries and organizing excursions, and also had an acceptable cost.
Our trip to Armenia turned out to be unforgettable. All aspects of the tour organization were performed at a high level, and problems and deviations from the plan were resolved promptly. We got a lot of positive impressions from the trip.
We would like to thank the organizer Sergey, the guide Eduard and the driver Arthrak for their professionalism and attention to detail. We also want to thank our fellow travelers from Blagoveshchensk for pleasant communication during the group part of the tour.
We bought a tourist tour, we wanted to see the most in a short time. Succeeded. The program is professionally designed and provides a lot of historical and interesting information about Armenia. The nature is amazing. The people are friendly and helpful. Thank you for the pleasure of the trip. The only inconvenience is that we got night flights, but we bought the tickets ourselves.
Friends, if you are thinking of using the services of this company, here are some tips.
First, always read the program carefully and check it for sudden changes - they may appear when it's too late to change anything. You may be secretly imposed additional points of the tour, which you did not give up for nothing, but which can significantly increase the duration of your trip.
By the way, about the duration - always specify in advance the approximate duration of the trip for the day and do not pay attention to the grimace of the guide, who pretends that you have personally insulted him.
Also check the schedule of stops and meals - their guide has his own, separate understanding of the diet, as well as places suitable for this purpose. For example, in Garni, we were taken to a cafe familiar to the guide, where we paid twice as much for lunch as in the center of Yerevan and received over-dried trout and three pieces of meat in the style of "shish kebab from a tent in the market."
Don't forget to bring headphones with you, because the guide's continuous babble about the greatness of Armenia and its importance in world history is somehow entertaining on the first day, but on the second it already starts to get specifically annoying. Although, of course, who is interested in what.
According to our impressions, all the interesting places in Armenia are located near Yerevan, and it is not necessary to contact agencies to visit them. It is enough to go to the Republic Square and choose a car you like with an advertisement for excursions. They definitely won't force you to visit the "ancient observatory of Karaunj" (a clueless cluster of boulders on a mountain plateau) or the "mysterious dragon stones of Vishapakara" (two indistinct columns around which there is simply nothing), some Mikoyan museum or another monastery, which is one in one similar to all the others.
Yes, if it occurs to you to order a jeep ride to the Azhdaq petroglyphs from them, keep in mind that this is a really extreme trip, during which you will have to shake for an HOUR and a half on a rocky road and boulders (and this is one way). Of course, the guides do not warn about the degree of extremity and possible harm to health, so evaluate the capabilities and endurance of your body in advance. By the way, there are few petroglyphs on Ajaak, but they do not carry them to Ukhtasar. Apparently, there are no lured (or rather, feeding them) cafes nearby.
So, as it was sung in one song - "Think for yourself, decide for yourself."
P.S. The owner of the company can write anything in response, I'm too lazy to argue with him. Just be careful.
Armenia left the most positive impressions. A sunny, hospitable country with incredibly delicious food. We went with my husband for a week from 28.04 to 05.05.24
Organization for 5+. I have traveled a lot, I have something to compare with, Sergei has everything perfectly organized, a great team has been selected.
Since we love nature and hiking routes, we combined trekking and sightseeing days on our trip. Sergey helped me choose the best routes for this time of year.
We had a wonderful driver Samvel with us all week, very responsible and responsive, thank you very much. Nare opened up the natural beauty to us, it is very comfortable to go on hiking tours with her. And the guides Vasily and Sarah told us about historical places in an interesting and entertaining way. Many thanks to everyone who made our trip unforgettable. I want to come back again.
We were very satisfied with the organization of the tour. We came to Armenia for 5 days, the goal was trekking exits. Sergey made up a route for us based on our capabilities and wishes, we liked everything very much! The guides and drivers are wonderful, everything is clear and on time! The hotel is very grateful to Sergey for prompt answers, I did not have to wait for the word at all. We advise and recommend everyone!
We had a rest with a group of 7 people, and previously, with the help of a tour operator, we carefully prepared the program. Therefore, the whole trip was held at the highest level, no complaints! The journey turned out to be quite long, it began with arrival in Yerevan, followed by several days of trips around Armenia, moving to Georgia and after a few days of staying there, transfer to Vladikavkaz. I repeat, there was not a single glitch in the program: excellent guides accompanied us everywhere, good cars were served, we checked into wonderful hotels, delicious dinners were waiting for us everywhere at the excursion site. All this testifies to the high professionalism of the company. Of course, I will recommend this company to my friends and, perhaps, I will use it again myself. Special thanks to Sergey, the organizer of this whole event.
I was in Armenia for the second time and thanks to this tour operator I fell in love with this country! We were shown all the diversity of Armenia. Amazing landscapes, magnificent architecture and historical values, and most importantly - hospitable and very sincere people!Many thanks to Sergey for preparing an individual route, our crew, guide Araik and driver Edgar for an incredible and comfortable journey. Help and support for 24 hours, I did not want to leave such friendly people! I'm not saying goodbye, I'm saying goodbye to them!" Julia and Julia
ExploreArmenia made our vacation unforgettable, thank you very much!In June 2024, we spent 5 days in Armenia, a beautiful sunny country!I recommend ExploreArmenia to everyone, Sergey and his team will organize any tour at the highest level according to your request.The convenient location of the hotel, a comfortable car, a wonderful guide and a polite driver are all waiting for you!We have seen a lot of beautiful places and beauties in Yerevan and the surrounding area!

Many thanks to the organizer Sergey, the guide Victoria and the driver Aram for two unforgettable hikes through the natural beauty of Armenia!
We were very satisfied, we will recommend it to everyone!
An individual visited today.an excursion with Armenia Explore Sevan-Garni-Symphony of stones-Geghard. Firstly, Sergey (the head of the tour agency) instantly answers all questions in the messenger, which makes life much easier. A huge plus for that. The request was to move at our pace, pe. we took a swim in Sevan, stopped at the place of wondrous beauty Symphony of Stones (originally it was not in the program on the site), had a leisurely lunch and, in general, took our time.Guide Sarah, driver Volodya are wonderful companions. A big clean seven-seater minivan, the three of us sat freely. Sarah talked about the sights, we listened, asked, rested. I liked everything. A little tired, we will return to the hotel. Thanks for the trip
Dear ExploreArmenia team,
I thank the universe for showing me Armenia by you 🙌🏻
Everything is perfect! All my wishes have been taken into account. No overlaps, no delays. Everything was in strict accordance with the agreements.
Sergey, Sarah and Artak - you are the best representatives of your people. May your business prosper and the agency become the best in the country. I wish you prosperity and well-being in everything 🐦🔥
I will definitely return to 🇦🇲💖
From Russia with gratitude and love, Sofya Sharova
The first trip to Armenia. Awe, curiosity, nerves and all the other colors of expression. Good people suggested contacting Sergey from the Explorerarmenia company. And I am very glad that you trusted him! 2 days personal tour of Sevan, Yerevan city, St. Ichmiadzin cathedrals with a fantastic guide Sarah, driver Artak. Sarah talked about everything very interestingly, the time flew by unnoticed. It feels like a fairy tale. Artak was waiting for us very patiently. It was like we were traveling with relatives. From the bottom of my heart, Mets schnorakalutsun!!!
I would like to list all those who made our holidays in Armenia and Georgia unforgettable and inspired us to return to these countries once again!
Many thanks to Sergey for organizing the trip, taking care and coordinating our entire trip, thanks to our guides: Eduard and Natalia, our drivers: Artak and Zaza.
I will definitely recommend the agency to my family and friends!
We chose between renting a car and going on our own or booking an excursion. Due to the fact that we were in Armenia for the first time, we still chose the second option. The only thing that was confusing was that the route our big company wanted to take was slightly different from the standard one. But the doubts were quickly resolved! Sergey, the director of the agency, was always in touch, quickly answered any questions that arose, and gave useful recommendations. Our driver is another 5 stars! A calm and confident driving style, always guided us by time, which always turned out to be enough for every attraction.
All our wishes were taken into account) There were 7 of us and EVERYONE had an unforgettable experience! Sergey, thank you very much to you and your team for such a high-quality service!
This is the second year we have been traveling with this company. We like everything: the organization of the route, good guides, transport and skillful drivers, the choice of hotels and of course the food. Many thanks to Sergey. I think this is not our last trip.
We were with our spouse on an individual tour of Garni-Geghard-Sevan from a given tour operator. That's great! The organization of the tour at the height is a nice, well-coordinated, wonderful driver Artak. The wonderful guide Samvel made us fall in love with Armenia. Let's go back and go with this tour operator again and again! Thanks!
We spent a wonderful week in Armenia from April 23 to April 30, 2023.
The company is wonderful. Everything was organized very well, Sergey, the director of the company, took into account all our wishes, redesigned the program several times to suit our wishes, and was always in touch. The four of us traveled together.
Sergey and his driver, Edgar, met us at the airport. The car is beautiful, spacious, and it was comfortable to drive.
The hotel was perfectly located. Our guide Lilith accompanied us on our trips. Special thanks to her, it is very interesting, professional, not boring, a person loves his business and his country.
Driver Edgard also deserves kind words, safe driving, subtle humor, punctuality.
At the same time, there are no prepayments for the tour, on-site calculations and the cost of the tour is very affordable.
I recommend it to everyone!
We went to Armenia and Georgia for 10 days. Sergey offered an excellent program, answered promptly from the very beginning and helped to decide.
The trip itself was great, Sergey was always in touch, answered all questions quickly, took into account all our wishes, all events took place on time, and there were a lot of them in ten days. All the guides and drivers that Sergey picked up were great. The excursions were on good transport with first-class drivers.
It was very interesting! I will recommend Sergey and his team to all my friends! Very professional! Everyone would work like that!
I really want to come back! Wonderful impressions about the country and people!
ExploreArmenia organized for our family a tour of Armenia (6 days) and Georgia (3 days), late August - early September 2023. Even before the trip, communication with the director of the agency Sergey made a very pleasant impression: always in touch, detailed, clear and quick answers. Already directly during the tour, this impression of the company only intensified.
Our program was very rich, and everything was organized competently and as convenient as possible (departure at 9-10 am, there is always a lunch break, reasonable overnight stays and transfers). Both in Armenia and Georgia we were driven in comfortable minivans, with air conditioning, there was always water in the cabin. Accommodation in hotels fully corresponded to the level we requested.
I would like to thank our guides Araik (Armenia) and Natalia (Georgia) for informative excursions and intellectual conversations, and drivers Edagar (Armenia) and Zurab (Georgia) for careful and safe driving! Guides are excellent storytellers, they know the history perfectly well and, it is clear that they are interested in it and constantly update their knowledge.
The whole team of ExploreArmenia are great professionals, very friendly and extremely punctual people! We are happy to recommend them 👍🏻
PS The cost of the tour in the price-quality-content ratio was the most competitive compared to other offers.
For the first time, I decided to trust the tour operator in organizing the trip. At the very beginning, they were bribed by the lack of prepayment and the presence of positive reviews. The reviews were fully justified, everything went well, in accordance with the program of the trip. A big plus is that the program is selected individually, taking into account the preferences of tourists, their plans and the number of days of stay in Armenia. There were two of us and it turned out to be so nice to travel when there wasn't a big crowd, because we could move at our own pace. Thanks to Sergey for organizing the tour, thanks to our driver Artak and guide Vasily for all the days of the trip, for their good manners, intelligence, and attentiveness. There will be an opportunity, we will definitely come again, because in a week we managed to cover only a small part of this hospitable country))
Excellent organization of work !!!. It feels like the company has been working for a long time and successfully. Promptly responds to any request for tours, even the most non-standard ones. The director of the company is always in touch. All current technical and operational issues are resolved quickly and constructively. Excellent transport and drivers. Lilith's amazing guide. In her excursions, there is a sense of scientific historical training, and the ability to place accents and switch attention. Sincere interest in the requests of guests is the first and strict rule of the company. There were seven of us. Including children. And everyone was comfortable and, most importantly, interesting!!! There was a feeling that we spent time in the company of not only professionals, but also intelligent and interesting people. We definitely recommend it!!!
We were with friends on a week-long tour of Armenia with the Explore Armenia company. The first time we traveled in a small group. It turned out to be so great. The driver Artak and the guide Ara Hakobyan were constantly with us. The driver is a professional in his field, on any roads, including the serpentine, you feel calm and confident with him. The guide is a storehouse of information, who knows and loves his country, and has conveyed his love and admiration for Armenia to us. How much we learned and saw: pink Yerevan, majestic Ararat, picturesque Sevan, ancient temples, Christian relics, the magnificent nature of Armenia. I am sure that without the head of the company Sergey, who organized our tour, such a wonderful trip would not have been possible. Even before the trip, Sergey answered all questions instantly and in detail, and redid the program several times in accordance with our preferences. From meeting and check-in to departure, everything went smoothly and organized. Explore Armenia has important advantages: which other companies will organize a tour for the dates you need and make up the program in a way that is interesting to you. Moreover, no prepayments are necessary, payment is made upon arrival, and the prices are loyal. We hope to visit Armenia with your company again, we didn't have time to see everything. And you can go to Georgia with Explore Armenia.
Lilith is an amazing guide! He tells everything very carefully and meticulously, a lot of interesting facts, it is immediately clear that the person is in his place 🫶
Also thanks to the driver Mikhail - comfortable and careful driving👍👍👍
We spent 5 unforgettable days in Armenia in early May. The tour operator Explore Armenia was chosen by chance, based on the reviews of other travelers. And it turned out to be a 100% hit! It was our first acquaintance with this country. Even before the start of the trip, Sergey explained to us in detail and clearly how our tour would be organized. I took into account all the wishes regarding accommodation. From the moment of our arrival and meeting at the airport, our guide Eduard and driver Artak surrounded us with care and attention. All 5 days we felt welcome. Eduard is an amazing guide, a man who loves his country, knows its history and is a very interesting conversationalist. We enjoyed this trip immensely. The rating of the tour organization is 10 out of 10.
We returned from a trip to Armenia yesterday. We had a seven-day tour. What can I say, the country has opened up from a new angle. We learned about the history, saw a lot of sights. We had a delicious meal, brought souvenirs and delicious dried fruits and wine. And cognac, of course.
Special thanks to the guide Arik and the driver Volodya.
In general, there are a lot of impressions!
I recommend this company to everyone.
only and exclusively positive impressions, memories and emotions! I was offered guided tours based on my schedule and time in Armenia - as a result, it turned out to be very informative to admire Yerevan, and visit the mountains and Sevan. I had an amazing guide - Vasily, an incredibly intelligent, educated person, an interesting and easy companion, with whom it was as comfortable as possible on a trip / trip. Many thanks to Sergey for organizing everything as quickly as possible, explaining, advising, and generally responding to all my questions and requests. In general, I sincerely recommend ExploreArmenia for all travel and sightseeing options - these people are in love with their work, their business, their Homeland and introduce us to its beauty and history.
Have a nice day, everyone! I want to leave a review about Explore Armenia. We traveled from this company with our family in Armenia-Georgia in August 2022. To say that we liked it is not to say anything! Everything was just great! Sergey, the director of the company, is really in touch 24/7 (even when I had questions about the tour BEFORE the start of the tour, he was always in touch, and all issues were resolved immediately in his country, no matter what it concerned-accommodation, currency exchange, departure, transfer, in general, Everything- Everything! I have not seen such a level of professionalism for a long time (and we have been traveling in Russia for several years). It is very pleasant to communicate with such people! Our driver Artak and guide Ara Hakobyan surrounded us with such attention! The guide is just a storehouse of useful historical information! Thank them very much! And what places did they take us to eat!!Nature, mountains, sky and the most magnificent beer of Cilicia-there is no such thing anywhere else! In Georgia, upon check-in, in the event of a force majeure situation, we were offered an alternative to housing, and the guide in Tbilisi, Irina, is just a great smart girl!!You could listen to it for hours. And the cuisine of Armenia and Georgia is a separate song! Come to Armenia, Georgia. but certainly with Explore Armenia. Then your vacation will be exactly at the highest level!!
Our family recently returned from Yerevan. We spent an unforgettable weekend in this beautiful city and its surroundings. Sergey promptly and professionally organized an excursion program for us, taking into account all our wishes. Transfer to /from the airport, booking a hotel in the city center, driver, guide for the entire stay... We are very satisfied!!!I recommend that anyone planning a trip to Armenia contact this travel agency.
Real professionals in their field!
I would like to express my gratitude to my colleagues from Armenia, especially Sergey, for their cooperation, responsible attitude to work and professionalism. A group of tourists were delighted with the trip, received a lot of positive emotions, noted the sensitive and attentive attitude of the guide and all the organizers of the trip. We hope for further cooperation. We wish you success!
Your colleagues from St. Petersburg.
The most amazing trip in the last year, and 100% it happened thanks to Sergey and Marina! The organization, the accuracy of route planning in accordance with my wishes - everything is at the highest level. And about hospitality, attention to small things and important things (to my friend, they organized an incredible surprise cake!!!) I want to write and talk endlessly! This is my first tour in the last 10 years, I usually plan and book on my own, I don't like group trips and dependence on tour operators, and then suddenly such magic happened! You guys are cool! Thank you so much for everything you do with such love, prosperity and more adequate travelers! Veronica is absolutely in love with Armenia now;)
Thank you so much for everything! Professionals and once again professionals! Our group of four people was satisfied! I highly recommend it. The guys fulfilled all our wishes! The service is just on top.
