Charent's Arch
The Arch of Charents, is named in honor of Armenian poet Eghishe Charents, who wrote the best poem, dedicated to Armenia, full of true love and pride. From this place opens a breathtaking view to Ararat, probably the most stunning view of the Biblical mountain.
Garni
Garni Temple (77 A.D.) –it is the only standing heathen temple in the whole post-Soviet area. The temple gracefully stands on a high plateau overlooking the Azat river gorge. The surrounding area itself is incredibly beautiful. The greek-roman bath house with the mosaic, made out of 30,000 pieces of natural stones, as well as the ruins of the royal palace, will take you to 3rd century A.D.

5.00I greatly enjoyed my day trip to Garni/Geghard/Lake Sevan. Having a historian on board, Tigran, as our guide was a big plus. We have never felt we were left without any interesting comments/information/insights with him and he was humorous too. Edgar, our driver, made sure we safely arrived to all sites. The small size of our group was pretty welcome, the whole atmosphere was intimate. We did enjoyed the sites, although at some points I wished we had more free time to discover each venue. I was happy we were able to beat the crowds at Garni. Both that and Geghard is a must if you are in Armenia and don’t miss out on the mesmerising views of Lake Sevan from Sevanavank as well. Maybe more traditional Armenian cuisine offered on the menu would be appreciated (but that’s a recommendation for all tours operated by Yerani Travel). Overall, I highly recommend taking both this tour and tour company.
Super

5.00Unfortunately the stops were very short Every site deserves more time but I understand the distances but the Gaia guide was superb
This Armenia day trip was pure joy—well-planned, scenic, and full of heart.

5.00The 8-hour full-day itinerary was perfectly organized. Every stop, from Yeghishe Charents Arch and Garni Temple to Geghard Monastery and the "Symphony of Stones" gorge, was absolutely stunning. Ending the day with the scenic views of Lake Sevan and Sevanavank Monastery was so calming and rewarding. The guide provided clear explanations in English (and Russian too), and the pace was comfortable with no rushing. The small group size (1-19 people) made the experience even more enjoyable and intimate. This is definitely a fantastic tour to explore the best of Armenia!
Awesome

5.00We chose this excursion for the first day in Yerevan, the result - our journey began unforgettably. Everything is very comfortable, nice, comfortable, human! Due to ignorance of the city was late for the start of the tour, but the guide, the tour driver and the taxi driver together helped to get to the tour stop and continue with everyone, which was unexpected, few places will act so understanding!:) Expensive, in general, is not only part of Armenia's collection of natural beauty and architecture, but also the people who organize it all. Thank you, I invited all my friends and relatives to Armenia.
If you’re limited on time and want to maximize deep culturally significant sights.

5.00This was a great tour for a great price. Started at a reasonable hour, this is a perfect option for those who want to see a lot. Stone of Symphonies was amazing and the monasteries have to be seen in person to truly appreciate.

5.00Tour was orginized very well. You have enough time on spots to really see something, not just run through it. Guide gave a lot of information about Armenia, Yerevan, places we visited and places nearby. We really appreciate it. On spots it might be hard to hear everything as a lot of groups are nearby with their guides. Maybe microphone and headphones for the group would be helpful. The lunch was decent, not much options and not some specific traditional meals, but all very tasty.
