What To Expect
Charent's Arch
While passing through the village of Voghjaberd, the architect Rafael Israelyan often noticed that a wonderful view of Mount Ararat opens from the nearby hill. And here, in 1957, Israelyan completed the structure he designed, which is called the Mount Ararat Temple. The last line of Yeghishe Charents's poem is engraved in visible large letters on the front entrance. "Go to the world; there is no white peak like Ararat, like the path of unripe glory; I love my Masis mountain." Very soon the place got its new, popular and more widespread name - The Arch of Charents. We start the tour with the viewpoint of Mount Ararat, the symbol of Armenia.
The Monastery of Geghard
Geghard Monastery is a medieval monastery in the Kotayk province, being partially carved out of the adjacent mountain, surrounded by cliffs. The name commonly used for the monastery today, Geghard, or more fully Geghardavank, meaning “the Monastery of the Spear”, originates from the spear which had wounded Jesus at the Crucifixion. It is believed, that the spear was brought to Armenia by Apostle Jude, called here Thaddeus, and stored amongst many other relics. Now it is displayed in the Echmiadzin treasury. The monastery complex is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site with enhanced protection status.

5.00I went on 2 tours with One Way, both of which were well organized, interesting, informative and fun. Hasmik and Anna in particular were amazing guides. extremely knowledgeable, kind and responsible. Each of the sights we visited can't be missed if you go to Yerevan! Good bunch of people as well in both tours and the groups aren't very large which helps in how smoothly the tour unfolds. The pace was also ideal, we didn't spent either too little or too much at each sight, so by the end the day feels full without leaving you tired. I would definitely recommend the company to a friend!

5.00The trip is very well organised and the time spent in each of the places is the right one: not too long, not too short, snd with a good combination of guided visit and free time to explore by yourself. Harutyun, the guide, was excellent (or even more than that): wise, kind, flexible, curious... He knows a big amount of things from Armenia and abroad, and shares them with a big intelligence and even a bit of humour. He is extraordinary.
Great Trip, Recommended.

5.00Great tour We were on the road today with our tour guide Jasmine, who already told us a lot about Armenia's history on the bus. The destinations are very impressive, be it the great view from the arch, the church rooms of the monastery carved into rock or the impressive temple of Garni. Seeing the lava baking up close was fun and we had enough time to eat in a restaurant right next to it. It was raining more and more, but the conclusion at the Symphony of Stones was still great. We can wholeheartedly recommend the trip. Stefanie with family from Germany
This tour is really worth it

5.00Recently toured Armenia from OneWayTour company on the route Garney - Gegard - Symphony of Stones, and it was truly memorable. Even as an experienced traveler who has already seen dozens of countries and been on hundreds of tours, it is rare to experience anything truly new. Here, too, new emotions and impressions emerged literally every minute. Separately, I want to express my great gratitude to the guide Yegor. His professionalism, deep knowledge of history and theology made this tour truly special. It was thanks to Yegor that the trip became not just an excursion, but a living, fascinating immersion in the culture and past of the country. Honestly, this is the first time after all this travel I've felt like giving feedback and sharing my emotions 👍 I sincerely recommend this tour, and especially - accompanied by Yegor!
