Khor Virap
Khor Virap is the most famous pilgrimage site in Armenia, as it is directly connected with the adoption of Christianity. As a state religion, Christianity in Armenia was adopted in 301 due to endeavors of Saint Gregory The Illuminator, who, before converting King Trdat The 3rd to Christianity, was imprisoned in the dungeon, over which a church of Khor Virap monastery was built in the 17th century. From the monastery one can admire the stunning view of the Biblical Mount Ararat.

5.00We had a wonderful time on this group tour. The visits to Khor Virap Monastery, Azat Reservoir, Garni Temple, and Geghard Monastery were all beautiful and well organized. The lavash baking master class was also a fun and memorable experience. A special thank you to our guide, Haik and driver Joseph. Haik was very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly throughout the day, and Joseph is an excellent driver.
I really enjoyed it!

5.00I had a great tour with Hayk and Josef. Hayk gave us plenty of information during the stops as well as in the bus. The length of the stops were very adequate, I did not feel rushed nor did I have time to get bored. Also during the stops, Hayk would keep part of the group (English or Russian-speaking) while the other part was free to wander and take photos, then switch. This way there was no time wasted, it was really well organised. Thank you!
Fabulous places!
