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.

5.00Unforgettable 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.
Great day trip from Yerevan

5.00Our guide Ashkhen and driver Hovhannes took great care of us. We chose a sunny day to visit Khor Virap and got a grandeur view of mount Ararat. Norabanq was another secluded monastery with great history. Later the day we also got to admire the nature of eastern Armenia. Altogether great itinerary with just enough breaks in between!
Make sure your guide is Karmela

5.00Really glad I booked this tour. The tour guide Vahag & Hovik the driver were brilliant. Vahag was very knowledgable and it was good to learn about Armenia history and information at the sites we visited. I liked the variety of the day and the different spots really offered that. The bus journey was enjoyable, and was fun just looking at the beautiful scenery. The day is long but it’s worth it and doesn’t feel like you’re just sat on the bus all day as it is broken up. Vahag was personable and was accommodating for us English speaking guests. Enjoyed his company and chatting with him. Recommend the tour!
Fabulous

5.00I really enjoyed this tour and would definitely recommend it. Traveling in a small van with only seven people made the experience much more personal and comfortable. Our guide, Hayk, was excellent — very knowledgeable, approachable, and his English was superb. I especially appreciated that the tour started as soon as everyone arrived, even a few minutes before the scheduled time, which meant we reached each stop ahead of the crowds — a huge advantage. Hayk listened to everyone, answered questions thoughtfully, and even made safe photo stops along the way when possible, while keeping us perfectly on schedule. He struck a great balance between flexibility and good time management. A special mention also to our driver Roman, who was fantastic — funny, professional, drove very safely, and kept everything running smoothly and on time. Beautiful itinerary, great organization, wonderful team — highly recommended.
Thank you Hasmik
