This was the BEST experience I have ever had traveling. It felt as though we were traveling with a dear friend rather than a guide. Nvard and her team are the best you will find in Armenia, so don’t bother looking elsewhere. She created an itinerary that was custom for our time in Armenia. She and her team were in time every single day to pick us up. Not to mention, she asked if we wanted to go to some amazing spots that were not even on the tour as an additional bonus. Nvard is so well versed about her country and culture and I am so thankful to have met her. She is a person I will call a dear friend for life. Nvard thank you and your team so much for the most authentic and unforgettable experience of Armenia! You will ABSOLUTELY see us again!

I could not be happier with the tour today and with the amazing guide Karine - she is so friendly, knowledgeable and full of energy. We visited places of extraordinary beauty and enjoyed a wine tasting as well. The lunch was the cherry on top of the cake, in a very beautiful venue. We spent a high quality tour, in the hands of our careful driver Tigran as well. THANK YOU! Excellent agency, organization qnd punctuality 😃

Armenia is a beautiful country, offering spectacular nature, food, culture and people. Nvard from Central Tours made the trip to Armenia a memorable and happy experience. She assisted us with the e-visa to the suggestions on the itinerary, and then taking us around the different sights. Her understanding of the country and her rich experience made our journey well worth the visit. Armenia has a lot to offer, the local cuisine, the mountainous terrains, historical sites etc. We did not face any challenges in finding vegetarian cuisines. I would highly recommend visiting this country and for sure through the services of Nvard and her company. I must add their prices were reasonable as well.

We had an absolutely fantastic time on our day trip. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and the driver was excellent too. There was a good amount of time in each place and she explained everything clearly and gave us the option of free time. She also has beautiful singing in the monastery! Thank you for a great tour.

Wonderful scenic city and so much so to explore and nothing can be better if you have a very supportive, accommodating and very knowledgeable tour manager. Nvard is an absolute professional and knows how to make your trip memorable. We were a group of 12 people with 4 kids. Nvard handled the entire tour starting from Hotels/Logistics/Guide. We could actually enjoy the trip as we didnt had to manage any other hastles. Would Highly recommend her if you are planning to take a trip to this beautiful country.

We were so lucky to have Nvard and her husband Tigan (?) as our guide and driver for our short private tour of Armenia. They were lovely, helpful, funny, good company and, as is important for this review, informative, well spoken (good English) and in a short time knew what we liked. They made us feel very welcome and comfortable. Their vehicle was modern, comfortable and roomy. Although we were only in Armenia for 3.5 days we saw and learnt so much about this cradle of Christianity. Nvard's knowledge of the country's history and culture was excellent. I highly recommend Nvard as a guide. I should add that we felt the cost of the tour was very fair. I look forward to showing Nvard and Tigan around Sydney should they ever venture to Australia.

I must say it was wonderful experience and team taking us feels like more of family then a professional guide. Thank you very much and I will recommend all you people going solo to join them to make a memorable trip.

From Tbilisi my wife and I did a 4 day, 3 night private tour into Armenia 🇦🇲 with Nvard Melkonyan of Central Tours. Her husband was the driver of good sized Mercedes SUV. The two of them were young, intelligent, very knowledgeable and friendly. Over the 4 days they took us to all the relevant tourist sights from the border crossing down to Yerevan returning to Georgia via Lake Sevan. The whole tour was relaxing, good fun and we really enjoyed the company they provided. We independently booked our Yerevan hotel but Nvard will willingly do so. She comes with our strong recommendation. Her price was fair value and the payment system she uses is quite secure.

Did 2 tours with them, one is Garni-Geghard and Lake Sevan day tour and the one is 2 days 1 night to South Armenia (Khor Virap -Areni winery -Shake-Tatev ( night in Goris ), Khndzoresk swinging bridge-Noravank -Yerevan) Had limited time there and Nvard (the guide) was very resourceful to accommodate my schedule and find traveling partners to help lower my traveling cost. Nvard is a very knowledgeable guide with deep knowledge of each place, giving lots of background information on the places we visit. She is also very mindful of the weather conditions and make changes to itinerary so that we can tour the place in the best weather conditions. Well trusted, honest, friendly and knowledgeable guide. Highly recommended to use their guide services when in Armenia.

I had a 3-day private tour with Central Tour, covering most of the major interesting spots in Armenia. Nvard is such an amazing guide - she is very knowledgable about all aspects of Armenia and always provides clear and detailed explanations wherever we went. She is also very patient - my desired itinerary requires more than 10 hours of touring time each day, yet she made it happen without any problem. During the 1st day of the tour, I forgot one of my camera lens at Khor Virap, she instantly checked with her network of tourguides to locate my lens and helped me to find it back. My driver Tigran is also amazing too - fluent English (in fact he is also a guide himself), great driving and great photography skills too. We did quite some photo shooting along the way. My experience in Armenia wouldn't have been so great without Nvard and Tigran. I highly recommend doing a tour with Central Tour as part of your visit to Armenia!

It was unforgettable and comfortable tour. Every monastery was awesome. And Nvard is a very knowledgeable guide, taught me very detail history of Armenian religion and responded my detail requests. I specially recommend to join this tour for person who don't have time. because,It's quite difficult to visit Tatev in a day by myself.

I was picked up from the hotel by Nvard, the tour guide, and Tigran the tour driver. It was a comfort to know I would be in the company of these warm and kind people for my tour. Nvard is a very knowledgeable guide so I had every detail explained to me and answers to any question I had. If you like mountain scenery you will love this tour, I was lucky enough to see eagles, hawks, and a jackal. If it is architecture and history that interest you then you will be equally satisfied with this tour which includes the key historical sites and monuments. The accommodation was excellent, and on the night in Tbilisi you can spend the evening exploring the city. I do not hesitate to recommend this trip, and the staff are kind and caring.

the temple itself is not much, maybe the description helps more, buut the view around it is amazing and the weather helped also

This was a superb tour. I'd class it as a wondeful two day experience of part of a beautiful country and its people. To us, it became less of a tour and more of a trip with two friends, guide Nvard and driver Tigran. We were lucky with the weather and first stop was a beautiful blue sky view of Mt Ararat. Coming from Australia, this was a great sight for us, with the Khor Virap monastery perfectly placed and interesting. The Armenian countryside was lovely and we moved on to an easily accessible and beautiful Jemruk waterfall. We could have stayed there all day and enjoyed the peace and sounds of water. It seemed to us that there was something interesting around every corner and the nxt stop was the Noravank Monastery, in a stunning red rock setting. We loved parts of the quiet roads, with large flocks of sheep being tended by shepherds on horseback slowing us down. Overnight at Goris and a lovely, new restaurant overlooking the town. As an added bonus,the following morning we braved the suspension bridge to a wonderful cave 'city' in lovely surroundings, before experiencinmg the 'Wings of Tatev', the longest cable car ride in the world. Very enjoyable, along with the Tatev Monastery. What we saw was wonderful, with lovely, friendly people everywhere we went. We thought that many of the things we saw in Armenia would be tourist hotspots if in middle Europe, but we were able to enjoy them in relative peace. What makes a tour successful or otherwise is often the guide and here we struck the jackpot. We can't speak highly enough of Nvad, who was knowledgable, justly loved her country, but most importantly treated us as her guests for the two days. We laughed a lot, learnt a lot and had fun. Book this trip, it was one of the best ever.

This was an amazing trip. Armenia and Georgia are both beautiful countries. Our guides and drivers were very helpful.
