What To Expect
Haghpat Monastery
Haghpat Monastery is one of Armenia’s most remarkable spiritual and architectural landmarks. Nestled high in the green hills of northern Armenia, this UNESCO World Heritage Site dates back to the 10th century and offers a powerful glimpse into the region’s medieval Christian heritage. As we explore the monastery complex, you'll see ancient stone churches, beautifully carved khachkars (cross-stones), and stunning arches that have stood for over a thousand years. The setting is peaceful and scenic, with wide views of the Debed Canyon below—perfect for quiet reflection and memorable photographs. You’ll also learn about Armenia’s rich religious and cultural history, as Haghpat was once a major center of learning and manuscript writing. It’s a moving and awe-inspiring place, where history, faith, and nature come together in harmony.
Sevan
We will have lunch near Lake Sevan where you will also be able to taste Lake Sevan products. (There are two lunch breaks during the tour, approximately 12:00 and 19:00)

A rollercoaster ride!
Szymon R,,Dec 18, 2025

3.00I would say this was a rollercoaster ride tour. It had its ups and downs. The ups were seeing beautiful countryside of Armenia and Lake Sevan. The downs, we wasted an hour at the border waiting for someone that could not get in so the company does not do a good job of making sure people have the right documentation. When we stopped at Lake Sevan we went to a local restaurant that was very disappointing, I suggest looking around and picking something that fits your taste. The people in the restaurant were not very trustworthy. Yerevan we basically saw 3 things and met at Republic Square so we could be stuck in traffic on the way out of the city. Guide/driver was constantly on his phone while driving and at times did not feel safe.
An unforgettable day trip from Tbilisi to Yerevan

5.00I had a fantastic experience on this full-day trip from Tbilisi to Yerevan. We were a very small group of just three participants, accompanied by our driver–guide. The car was modern, spacious, and extremely comfortable, which made the long journey very pleasant. Throughout the entire trip, our guide provided well-founded explanations and insights, giving real context to everything we saw. The selected stops were excellently chosen and perfectly timed: we drove through Armenia’s beautiful landscapes, visited a stunning monastery, enjoyed breathtaking views from the Sevan Lake peninsula, and explored all the major highlights of Yerevan. We even had some free time to discover the city on our own. The professional guidance and friendly approach of our guide truly made this trip outstanding. It was an unforgettable experience that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting the region.

5.00A long journey, but definitely worth it! The drive from Tbilisi to Yerevan offered beautiful views of the countryside, and the stop at Lake Sevan was a real highlight — calm, scenic, and full of character. Our guide (sorry, I forgot her name) was enthusiastic and knowledgeable, always happy to share insights about the history and culture of the Caucasus. She made the trip engaging from start to finish. Unfortunately, Mount Ararat wasn’t visible this time — it would have made the ending perfect — but Yerevan was still charming and full of energy. A big thank-you as well to our driver, who handled the long route safely and smoothly. Overall, a well-organised and rewarding tour that I’d happily recommend to anyone visiting the region!
A very long 17 hour day...

4.00A very long 17 hour day but the itinerary included some great stops. Unfortunately the weather was terrible for our monastery and Lake Sevan visits, but the scenery would have been fantastic on a fine day. Our guide was very communicative with information on Armenia, but guidance on logistics and timing was lacking at times. There was poor organisation whenever we reached a stop, and a lack of clarity around the time we had available. This caused a little frustration and time wastage. Regardless, a cool trip to Armenia!
Paata is a good guide and...

5.00Paata is a good guide and gives you a sense of Armenia 🇦🇲 with some humour added. It is a very long day but that is driven by the distance. If you didn't get to Yerevan, you wouldn't get a full understanding of the history and the place
Paata is very nice tour...

The essence of Armenia in one day

5.00You don’t see the time pass. Amazing landscapes along the way. Lake is huge and we had a nice food break there. Of course you would need more time for Yerevan but it gives you an idea. Our guide Paata is a very knowledgeable guide. About the country but also the rivalry with Georgia. Bringing a good atmosphere. Excellent driver (but a bit too nervous like most local drivers)
Perfect Tour
