What To Expect

Khor Virap

The Khor Virap monastery is located about an hour’s drive away from the capital Yerevan, and offers an amazing view of Armenia’s defining symbol – the majestic Ararat. “Khor Virap” translates as “deep dungeon”, and was built of the place of the former royal prison, located on the historical site of Artashat. It was this very prison in which they kept Gregory the Illuminator, the first Armenian Catholicos, for a whole 13 years. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that this place is one of the most sacred spots for Armenians around the world. Likewise, it’s also the closest point to the Mount Ararat from Armenia; very often this spot becomes the number 1 reason to visit our country!

Noravank Monastery

Aside from Khor Virap, another place that can’t be missed is Noravank. It is one of the gems of medieval Armenian architecture, nestled high among the stunning brick-red cliffs in the end of the Gnishik Canyon. Here you will see the one and only depiction of God the Father in Armenia, which is just as astonishing as the face of Jesus Christ that appeared on the dome of the Church’s narthex.

Brilliant, carefully designed program, all day logistics - for which thank you so much company! The beauty is incredible! The places are fabulous! (The turn to the Noravanck Monastery goes through a gorge of unforgettable beauty! The monastery itself is very naturally inscribed in the surrounding mountains, creating the impression of a single unit). All places are mandatory. We express our gratitude to our guide Armina - for the most interesting information, and to our driver Karen - for the fantastic driving level!!! Olga and Irina
Very nice tour guide!

We had an amazing time here as all the tours were organized very properly. They also kept our special request for halal food in mind and gave us special consideration. Our tour guide Mr. Sanasar was very friendly and kind. Very informative guy with a mentality to help! We are highly impressed and would want him to assist us in the rest of our trips!
