I just had an excellent 3-day private tour with this company. Highly recommended! Ash, my guide, was the best—knowledgeable and will go the extra mile to show you the very best of Armenia. Off-roading is the best way to explore the country as you get to go to off-beaten paths--it made the trip all the more special and memorable. Looking forward to planning my next trip with them.

My husband and I did a day tour with Feel Armenia and they were fantastic. Our guide Tamara is very experienced and we learnt a lot about the history and legends of Armania. On this day tour we saw the two beautiful churches on lake Sevan Sevanavank and Hayranvank and then Garni temple and Geghard. Feel Armania also have many other tours which explores the gastronomic side of Armania and Jeep tours that explores the hard to reach places of Armenia.

Note: the private tour also included a trip to Echmiadzin and the Arch of Charents. This was a wonderful tour that I would recommend to anyone visiting Armenia interested in learning about its rich culture and history. My driver, Alen, and my guide, Eduard, were great to spend the day with, and I enjoyed every moment of the tour. Each site truly is magnificent, and most are unlike anything you will see elsewhere in the world. This really is a unique opportunity to view history. Additionally, I must note that the Armenian people are incredibly hospitable. At one point, we pulled over on the side of the road to watch some ladies make traditional Armenian bread (which was delicious). Upon stopping, I was invited to join a group of Armenian men that were enjoying the bread with some delicious Armenian cheese. They even gave me a shot of vodka, really highlighting just how kind everyone here is and how much they appreciate meeting other people and learning about other cultures. Do not miss out on this tour if you are in Armenia!

Feel Armenia arranged an one day private tour for me around Yerevon, Armenia in January 2020. This tour gave me an overview about the mountains, the lakes, the culture, the history, the religion and the food. Feel Armenia did a great job to present Armenia. The tour guide, Ms. Hasmik Evoyan is very knowledgeable, helpful and communicates very well. Armenia is beautiful country. Armenians are friendly and wonderful people with great culture heritage . I will definitely return to Armenia for longer stay.
