• Symphony of Stones - Garni Gorge, a breathtaking natural wonder near the village of Garni in Armenia, is also known as the “Symphony of Stones” due to its unique rock formations that create a stunning symphony of colors and shapes.

• Visiting the Symphony of Stones is dependent on weather conditions.

• The Monastery of Geghard - The Geghard Monastic Complex, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is another historical landmark featured in this private tour.

The name “Geghard” is derived from the spear (geghard) believed to have pierced Jesus Christ’s side, which was housed in the monastery for many years. Geghard Monastery is regarded as one of Armenia’s most important religious sites.

The most remarkable aspect is that this church is carved directly into solid rock.

• Zvartnots Temple - On the return journey to Yerevan, a final stop will be made at another beautiful 7th-century temple, also listed as a UNESCO heritage site.
