Your friend in Yerevan. With a car and a sunroof.

I’m Dima, a software guy living in Yerevan until November 25. I’ll pick you up at Zvartnots at any hour, show you the city through an open sunroof and drive you to Garni, Lake Sevan or Tatev. At the end I edit a short film of your day and write a song about it.

How it works

  1. Message me with your dates, group size and what you’d like to see.

  2. I suggest a route, a start time and a price per car.

  3. I pick you up at your door, or at the airport exit with a sign and water.

  4. We drive. Sunroof open, stops wherever you want.

  5. If you ordered the film and song, you get them within 24 hours.

Booking in advance only: Armenian rules for tourist transport don’t allow arranging a ride in the arrivals hall.

Film and song of your day

A 60–90 second film of your trip and a song about your day, written with AI. Delivered within 24 hours.

+$42 (15,000 AMD) to any drive

This is a sample: one of our drives and a song about it, made with AI. Yours will be about your day.

About me

I’m Dima. I work in tech remotely, and so does my wife. We don’t have a home yet: we live a month or two in each country and film what breaks along the way. Now Yerevan, next Vietnam and Thailand.

In Yerevan we went through everything a newcomer does: apartment hunting, SIM cards, a bank account, a traffic jam of 400 sheep. We even found our apartment through a police officer. Long story, it’s on Instagram.

I drive the way I’d show the city to a friend: no pointer, no memorized dates, stops wherever it’s beautiful. My car is a Mini Cooper Countryman with a panoramic sunroof.

I also edit video and write songs with AI, so a drive can end with a short film and a song about your day.

I speak English and Russian.

The car, fuel, a driver who talks, water for the road, photo stops wherever you want.

Cancellation

Questions

Until when can I book?

Until 25 November 2026, then we fly to Vietnam. The nearest dates go first.

Are you a guide?

I’m a tech guy who lives here and shows Armenia the way I’d show it to a friend. For exact dates and exhibitions there are museums, and I’ll drive you there too.

How many people fit?

From the airport, up to 3 with luggage. For a day trip, up to 3–4 with light bags.

Why is the price per car?

Because there is one car and there may be one of you or three. Split three ways, it costs a third each, and the car goes only where you want.

I land at 4 a.m. Will you meet me?

Yes, at any hour. Send your flight number in advance and I’ll follow any delay.

Can I have my own route?

Yes. Tell me what you want to see and how much time you have, and I’ll price it.

What if the weather turns?

I’ll suggest another route or we move to another day.

Can I cancel?

Free of charge up to 24 hours before. Later than that we’ll work it out, and if the weather closes the route we simply move the day.

Can I bring children?

Yes, but there is no child seat in the car. If your child needs one, bring your own and I’ll help fit it.

Which language?

English or Russian.
