Experience the best of Yerevan with Withlocals

"Spent a day on a private tour with with Ruz. It was my first time in Armenia. We drove out of Yerevan and visited churches, monastries caves, saw some of the countryside, had a great Armenian lunch, and tasted some wine. It was a fabulous mix for me. Only disappointment was failing to see Mount Ararat, which I was assured was a) in the distance b) spectacular.. the fog and snow however refused to let up and give me a view!! Ruz is a friendly, very knowledgable, helpful and flexible guide. Whatever questions I had, she always had a wealth of knowledge and information to share and I came away from the day having had a great time and also feeling like I'd had the opportunity to really learn a bit about Armenia. We also had a good driver who coped well with the snow and "interesting" traffic in Yerevan! I'd highly recommend Ruz to anyone. "

"We really enjoyed our tour with Anna! We were running late in our travel and Anna was incredibly flexible in her tour with us. She showed us the highlights and provided a very thoughtful and candid perspective on the city and on Armenia! She customized the tour to what we were looking for - we are active and love to walk and explore, and we managed to see so many sites in a relatively short period of time! We had a lot of fun exploring the city with her! Would highly recommend"

"Ruz is a very friendly, knowledgeable and authentic guide. You can feel how passionate she is about her city and country. A highly recommendable experience. "

"If you're in Yerevan and love food, do not miss this 10-food tasting tour — it’s hands down one of the best experiences we’ve had in Armenia! From the first bite to the last sip, every stop was a celebration of Armenian culture and flavor. Our guide, Anna, was the heart and soul of the tour. Warm, knowledgeable, and full of energy, she made the entire journey feel like a culinary adventure with a dear friend. She shared not just food, but stories, traditions, and little-known facts that made us appreciate every dish even more. Each tasting felt like a new discovery — thoughtfully curated, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. We also got to try some local drinks and even had a fun hands-on experience that made the tour even more memorable. The pacing was perfect, the portions generous, and the locations well-chosen — from hidden gems to iconic spots in the city. Highly recommended for food lovers, cultural explorers, or anyone wanting to truly taste Armenia. Thank you, Anna, for giving us such a memorable and flavorful day!"

"Ruzanna is the best tour guide I’ve ever met—completely trustworthy and deeply knowledgeable about Armenia’s history and culture. If I visit Armenia again, I’ll only ask for her help."

"Ruz is a fantastic guide and really knows how to run a tour. She collected me from my hotel and we went straight to the Genocide Museum and to see Mother Georgia. From there we walked back into the city centre all the while Ruz was telling me the history of her country along with present day information. All my questions, she had answers too. Very knowledgeable, wonderful afternoon."

"What a pleasure spending time with Anna. We had such great conversations about Armenia, history, politics and of course FOOD. We highly recommend this tour and be sure to arrive hungry! Everything was delicious and we especially liked a new to us dish called Jingyalov Hats. Dont miss doing this tour with Anna while visiting Yerevan. "

"We had a wonderful tour with Ruz seeing the highlights of Yerevan on our first day. Actually our tour turned into a two day tour when a thunder storm prevented us safely to finish our tour. Ruz suggested we adjourn until the next morning. We were grateful to her for that and enjoyed day two with sunny weather. Having a local guide to show you around a new city like Yerevan is always a good idea. "

"Ruz was a fantastic guide. She ensured we saw all of the important sites and was even willing to adapt our tour to ensure we saw other locations that were of interest to us. The tour was so great that we ended up spending another day with her as well. You won’t go wrong with her Tours with opportunities to see areas of northern and southern Armenia. These tours are easy drives from Yerevan. Pick Ruz, you’ll be glad you did."
