2.Retro KGB Tour: A Volga 21 Adventure in Yerevan’s Soviet Past with photography

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 29 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $56

Join an English-speaking guide, often Arto or one of the Link to Armenia team, for a private two-hour ride in a lovingly kept Volga 21. You’ll see Soviet-era sights, Mother Armenia, the Cascade, Vernissage Market, and city viewpoints, with photography and Armenian drinks along the way.

“We enjoyed the beautiful car and the visit to the museum below the Mother Armenia statue. Passersby were commenting on the great condition of car and it was a privilege to be a passenger. Our guide Arto was very knowledgeable. It was a shame that our guide could not join us at the beginning of the tour as we spent the first 35 minutes driving around town with the driver who did not speak English. It was very hot in the car.”

3.5 days photography tour in Armenia

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 10 reviews · 5 days (approx.)

Travel privately with a professional driver from Yerevan to Armenia’s best photo sites, including Garni, Geghard, Khor Virap, Noravank, Lake Sevan, Amberd, and Zvartnots. Aram handles planning and Arman may drive. Expect flexible timing, wine tasting, and a full five-day schedule.

“Our experience started with Aram's helpful, informative communciation about our schedule, pick-up, and needs. He revised the published schedule to adapt to our timeframe. The schedule itself was well thought out - we had lots of varied types of activites each day. Our driver, Arman, was more of a knowledgeable guide than a driver. He was prompt, informative, personable, flexible, and he took us to additional sites that were not on the list. I cannot imagine how the experience could have been improved. Thank you!”
