What To Expect
Khor Virap
Many people know that Armenia is the first Christian country in the world. It was officially accepted in 301 when Grigor was released from the capital's prison, which was here before. He was imprisoned here for 13 years for his Christian faith. Being the last hope of the sick king, he cured him, after which the king accepted Christianity as the state religion. At the same time, the best view of Mount Ararat opens from here. Being very close to Ararat gives you the opportunity to see the entire structure of the mountain and admire its beauty.
Noravank Monastery
Medieval Armenian taste and architectural talent were interblended in Noravank, founded in the 9th century, this monastery developed in the 13th and 14th centuries. Surrounded by high red-coloured mountains and built from stones taken from those rocks, Noravank harmoniously complements the local landscape, remaining unique in its kind.

4.00Not bad overall; attentive guide who commends decent English and tried her best to fill up the long drive; main drawback is limited leg room in the minivan.

5.00It was for me the best tour which i booked. Beautiful places with breathtaking views. I was also happy that it was not the warmest summerday on this ten hour trip ( around 28°C). We really could enjoy the nature and countryside of Armenia. Ashkhen as a guide, she paid a lot of attention to the whole group, and managed it in russian and english very well. I liked that she just let us look around than we met later for the english/ russian guiding with her, so we didn't have to listen to the infos twice. Would totally recommend and would participate again.
Lot's of ground covered

5.00Unforgettable experience. Everything perfect. You have time to see everything calmly without rushing from one place to another. The guide Ashmik was excellent at interacting with everyone, providing useful information about both the places and Armenian history.
Great daytrip!

4.00Good pacing, enough time at each site. Lunch was ok. Minivan was good and driving ok. There were two guides: the one who was doing the Russian seemed knowlegeable and gave a lot of info. Unfortunately the one doing the English translation was just translating bits and pieces, just bits of what was covered in Russian, which was very disappointing.
