Interesting sites, beautiful & professional organizers/driver/tour guide - The tour was well-organized and the organisers, the driver and the tour guide were very professional and friendly. The sites are touristy, but for a reason: they are beautiful and something you don't see every day! The surrounding nature was astonishing. We are very happy that we booked this tour and can highly recommend it.

Must See Places - Jan Armenia was absolutely wonderful — we didn’t have to worry about a thing and felt safe the entire time. Our driver, Ashot, made sure we enjoyed every moment, explaining everything we came across. The place itself is stunning, with beautiful nature and scenery. Highly recommend booking — you’ll leave with unforgettable memories and gorgeous photos.

Beautiful Monastery - Amazing Stones - The brand new BYD Electric car and the driver were perfectly on time to pick us up from the hotel.
Smooth drive to the different locations, but unfortunately, the weather was not "friendly" and we had a full overcast sky.
The Garni temple is impressive and the views around are breathtaking.
The Symphony of Stones is magical.
The column style rocks due to differential cooling of basaltic lava are really making a symphony.

Memorable trip to Garni and Geghard - My husband and I took a half day trip with Jan Armenia from Yerevan to see Charents Arch, Garni Temple, Symphony of Stones, and Geghard Monastery. Our driver Gevord was very nice. He was punctual in picking us up, drove safe, patiently waited for us at each stop, and answered all our little questions. The tour was well designed and we got many nice photos. Overall we loved the experience, and we recommend Jan Armenia if you want to plan a day trip from Yerevan.

Good bad day - Places visited are very good Charents Arch, Garni Temple, Geghard Monastery, Symphony of Stones . The driver com guide doesn’t speak English. And we don’t understand Armenian. It was very tough.
