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.

5.00Another perfect day with One Way Tour, we took plenty of eyes! Hasmik was great and warm with us, and even climbed up to the Jermuk chairlift for a snowball game. And an impeccable organization usually sticks.
Awesome and great tour

5.00Had a great day trip to Khor Virap, Noravank etc today with guide Anahit Zorian (Ana). She has been informative and patient, as tour was conducted both in English and Armenian. There was also some long drives between sights, but she managed to pass the time playing some mixture of local & international music. The driver has also been careful on the road.
Great day touring Khor Virap, Noravank, Arenti, and wine tasring

5.00Had a fabulous tour today with our guide (Hasmix). She was sweet, insightful, informative and knowledgeable. Although it was a full day tour, lasting slightly over 12 hours, I found the sights and stops worthwhile and fairly uncrowded. This is in contrast to my tour of Garni and Geghard monastery the day before. We were also given clear instructions at each sight to stay with our guide if we wanted stories about each place or to go off on our own to explore AND when to get back to the bus.
If you anat to see armenia you have ony way tour the obly way to get the best experience

5.00Absolutely fantastic tour!!! We had a wonderful time and our tour guide Hasmik and driver Marvel were 10/10!!! It was very well paced, we didn't spend too long or too little in one place and didn't feel rushed. Hasmik was very friendly, helpful and answered all our questions happily. Highly recommended!!!
