Highlights
  • Khor Virap - Journey through the picturesque Ararat Valley to the 4th-century Khor Virap monastery, where you can take in the view of Mt. Ararat. While there are many spots to enjoy this view, each offers a unique perspective. Ararat is the mountain that connects you to your ancestral roots. The name “Khor Virap” translates to “deep dungeon,” referring to the royal prison that existed here in the 4th century, where the first Armenian Catholicos, Gregory the Illuminator, was held captive.

  • Noravank Monastery - Continue your tour to the Noravank monastery, known for its intricate carvings. This site features the only depiction of God and the face of Jesus Christ can be seen on the dome of the narthex.

  • Tatev Monastery - Visit the 7th-century Tatev monastery, which served as an educational and spiritual center. You will reach the monastery via a cable car, which is the longest in the world. For those seeking unforgettable aerial adventures, the Wings of Tatev will give you a sky-high experience without the need for planes!

we had a good day - despite the bad weather, we enjoy the visit. the driver drove cautiously, and the guide gave us a lot of information. Very interesting.

A warm and friendly introduction to Armenian history and landscapes - We recently spent two days with our guide Tamara and driver Edo seeing some key sites around Armenia. They were friendly, hospitable and made our time very enjoyable (as even though it's a small country, some of the car traveling can be a little arduous). We would readily recommend their services for people looking to explore Armenia's deep cultural heritage.

This was a pretty average tour. The... - <p>This was a pretty average tour. The guide and driver were decent but I had different interests than what the guide's expertise was in. In my experience most of the monasteries look extremely similar, so tours are more about experiencing the countryside around them and getting to talk for an extended period with the guide about their country. The Wings of Tatev gondola ride was fun. At Noravank I really wanted to poke around in some of the many caves surrounding the site, but due to the long drives involved we only had time to visit the main monastery site itself.</p>
