Highlights
- The Monastery of Geghard - Go reveal the 4th-century Geghard Monastery which is cut into the side of the rock. The name Geghard appeared because of the spear kept there, with the help of which the Roman soldier pierced the side of Christ. In Armenian, it is called “Gerhard”. Now the spear is situated in the museum of Etchmiadzin. Don’t you want to get in touch with this mystery?
- Garni Temple - Continue your wonderful tour to the 1st Century A.D. Garni Pagan Temple which was once the summer residence for the Armenian Kings of the day. Garni is the only standing heathen temple in Armenia and also in the Former Soviet Union. The temple stands on a high plateau overlooking the gorge of Azat river. The plateau itself is incredibly beautiful and is included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site along with the surrounding area. It is also home to the roman bath house with the mysterious mosaic, made out of 30,000 pieces of natural stones, as well as the ruins of the royal palace, dating back to the 3rd century A.D.

Beautiful Armenia - Feel Armenia arranged an one day private tour for me around Yerevon, Armenia in January 2020.
This tour gave me an overview about the mountains, the lakes, the culture, the history, the religion and the food. Feel Armenia did a great job to present Armenia.
The tour guide, Ms. Hasmik Evoyan is very knowledgeable, helpful and communicates very well.
Armenia is beautiful country. Armenians are friendly and wonderful people with great culture heritage .
I will definitely return to Armenia for longer stay.

Tour with good people - My first visit to Armenia was made memorable by a bunch of good people. Tamara, Edo, Arthur and Lida have created a wonderful tour of in and around Yerevan. I felt like traveling with friends in my hometown. Initially I had planned a one-day tour but extended it to two because of the good company of these young professionals.
I would recommend you to see Armania with them. It's like coming home to the place I know...
