Highlights

The main church is next to the scriptorium, where numerous manuscripts were created over the centuries. The monastery was heavily damaged by the 1988 earthquake, but a reconstruction completed in 2000 restored its former beauty and glory.

Temples and churches in Yerevan that you cannot miss. - Extraordinary half-day tour to visit Yerevan's UNESCO heritage churches and temples. They are all very close to the capital. There is not much travel by bus.

Spiritual Capital of Armenia - Our tour guide Liana was very informative and helpful. Also our driver Spartak was excellent, taking us to the different sites in a safe and timely manner. It is a shame that during the last leg of the tour it began to rain and we were unable to fully explore the Zvartnots site. Overall, an excellent trip, I would highly recommend.

Great tour to see Yerevan and the Echmiadzin churches - The tour took about 7 hours and is an excellent introduction to Yerevan and its sights. It starts with a bus tour around the city and after a photo stop at the Mother Armenia statue, it goes on to Echmiadzin, the museum there, and the other 2 churches. The last stop is the beautiful Zvarnots temple. Our guide, Karina, was very nice and extremely knowledgeable. I can highly recommend this tour and will book some more now with HYUR services.
