Why should you choose a private tour instead of group tours?
You don’t have to wait around or follow a fixed itinerary. Group tours usually stick to a set plan with little flexibility. Private tours, on the other hand, are completely customizable — they can be adjusted even during the trip and include stops based on what you’re interested in. With group tours, you follow a route. With private tours, you create one.
What is the best time for a private tour in Armenia?
Armenia is a year-round destination. Springs are mild and ideal for sightseeing or outdoor walks, summers are great for visiting mountainous places, monasteries, and taking lake trips. Autumn is perfect with the harvest season, many festivals, and golden landscapes. Winters are also mild and have their charm, especially if you visit ski resorts and snow-covered mountains.
