We had a good experience using Hahreniq tours to get from Tbilisi to Yerevan. We arrived 40 minutes early and left soon after once everyone was on board. Please note as others have said, the pickup location is behind the church on Dusheti Street, a short walk down the street from the Avlabari Metro station. The coordinator and driver spoke little English, but had our names noted on his phone and it was fairly easy to get into the right van, so they obviously are used to receiving 12go bookings. The van was quite comfy and had plenty of legroom. Air con was used most of the time, and it never felt too hot. Driving was of the standard Caucasus style, but no worse than any other transport we’d been in. Overall I’d certainly do this journey again, being able to book online is very convenient.

Fast journey, we arrived well ahead of schedule. No stops on the road except at the border. On the other hand, we sometimes took extreme risks on the road (overtaking on bends without any vision, for example).

It's a bit hard to find the departure area but the address shown was correct. Arrival was delayed by 1 hour. Buying experience online is super!

The website was a little difficult to use so I accidentally booked my trip a day later than I wanted to go. The operator took care of this and got me on the next bus, two hours later. I couldn’t be happier. The ride is what it is. Driver was a little grumpy and the driving perhaps isn’t the safest but that’s just the way things are around here. The bus was really comfortable.

Th driver had two moments of critical danger. Was fast and I understand, but in these two moments people were very scared.

Hard to find starting point at Tbilisi, should be more informative. Vehicle on time, allready waiting at10.15, left at 10.30 for an 11.00 trip. Vehicle comfortable but a bit small. Driving above average for Georgian/ Armenian standards.

Heavy rainfalls almost inevitably make the trip longer due to poor visibility or floods. Road and surface repairs which happen quite often, result in detours and longer travel times.

Travelling by bus essentials

  • If you are planning to travel during the high season, weekends, or national holidays, booking your bus tickets in advance is highly recommended. The demand is at its highest, yet very often, the number of coaches serving the route remains the same. The earlier you reserve your seat, the better. On some routes, you need to secure your ticket more than a month in advance; on others, a couple-of-days advanced booking is enough. During such periods, try to book online beforehand whenever possible, as showing up at the bus station without a ticket may result in many-hours of waiting in the queue or leave you downright stranded.
  • VIP, 1st, Gold, and similar bus tickets are the most expensive option, but they provide a higher level of comfort. Normally the price of such tickets will include wide soft reclining seats, blankets, water and snacks or lunch, and sometimes some toiletries. Upper-class buses travel faster, make fewer stops during the route, and normally provide more spacious seating to their passengers and a better travel experience.
  • Not all buses have an on-board toilet, but generally, for all trips longer than three hours, all operators schedule a bathroom and/or a lunch stop. While operators definitely do their best to keep on-board toilets clean, the smell may be an issue sometimes. For longer trips, booking a seat a bit farther from the toilet may be a good idea. Also, using bathroom stops for your toilet needs is always better than trying to find your balance in an on-board toilet on the run.
  • If you travel by an air-con bus, make sure to pack layers. A hoodie, a warm scarf, or a beanie hat may prove a good idea. Air-conditioning on buses tends to be excessive, and running nose and sore throats abound after even not the longest bus rides.
  • Always use the security belts even if your bus ride attendant or driver does not insist on it. Your safety comes first – for you, for sure. All buses normally are equipped with security belts, but they may be fixed behind your seat. Take time to find the belt and fix it appropriately.
  • To avoid being disturbed by overhead lights, switched on during stops even at night, and too loud music or sound from the on-board entertainment system, have earplugs and a sleeping mask at hand.
  • As a courtesy to other passengers, avoid using strong perfumes or smelly foods. Some foods like cheeses or durians are forbidden to take on-board – check in advance. Alcohol is also prohibited on the majority of buses.
  • Note that if the bus requires refuelling en-route, passengers will be asked to get off the bus. Operators are not allowed to refuel with passengers on board due to safety reasons. Usually, it takes from 5 to 10 minutes and is often combined with a toilet/lunch stop.
  • If not stated otherwise in your tickets, arrive at the bus station 20-30 minutes before departure. It will give you enough time to find the departure platform and check-in. For international trips, you may need more time for check-in and border formalities.
