Garni-templet ligger i landsbyen Garni, i hjertet af Armenien, og blev bygget i ionisk stil. Det er den mest kendte bygning og repræsentation af det førkristne Armenien. Bygningen blev højst sandsynligt bygget af kong Tiridates I som et tempel for solguden Mihr i det første århundrede e.Kr. Det blev omdannet til en kongelig sommerresidens for Khosrovidukht, søsteren til Tiridates III, efter Armeniens omvendelse til kristendommen i begyndelsen af det fjerde århundrede. Nogle akademikere hævder, at det var et mausoleum snarere end et tempel, hvorfor det formåede at modstå ødelæggelsen af hedenske bygninger.
Geghard, som oversættes til "spyd", er et middelalderligt kloster på armensk. Det er en del af UNESCOs verdensarvsliste. Spydet, der sårede Jesus ved korsfæstelsen, blev angiveligt bragt til Armenien af apostlen Judas, her kendt som Thaddeus, og opbevaret blandt mange andre relikvier. Det er nu udstillet i statskassen i Echmiadzin.
Sevan-søen er den største vandmasse i både Armenien og Kaukasus-regionen. Det er en af de største ferskvandssøer i høj højde (alpine) i Eurasien. Søen ligger i Gegharkunik-provinsen i en højde af 1.900,44 m over havets overflade. Det fodres af 28 floder og vandløb. Søen står for omkring 90 % af Armeniens fisk og 80 % af krebsfangsten. Sevan har betydelig økonomisk, kulturel og rekreativ værdi. Dens eneste større ø (nu en halvø) er hjemsted for et middelalderkloster.
Sevanavank er et klosterkompleks beliggende på en halvø ved den nordvestlige bred af Sevan-søen i Gegharkunik-provinsen i Armenien, ikke langt fra byen Sevan. I første omgang blev klostret bygget ved den sydlige bred af en lille ø. Efter den kunstige dræning af Sevan-søen, som startede i Joseph Stalins æra, faldt vandstanden omkring 20 meter, og øen blev omdannet til en halvø. Ved den sydlige kyst af denne nyoprettede halvø blev der bygget et gæstehus fra den armenske forfatterforening. Den østlige kyst er optaget af den armenske præsidents sommerresidens, mens klostrets stadig aktive seminarium flyttede til nyopførte bygninger på den nordlige kyst af halvøen.
Oplev den betagende symfoni af sten ved Sevan-søen - naturens utrolige klippeformationer skaber et unikt, uforglemmeligt landskab.

We had an excellent tour with our driver/guide Hovo. He was very helpful and informative. Unfortunately, because of bad weather, we were unable to go to Geghard. Still, Hovo made sure to explain the situation to us before deciding to call it off and to provide alternative options that were similarly worth visiting. It was handled very well. Booking this tour was very convenient; we only booked the trip one day before.
Our guide was very accomodating and was very knowledgeable regarding the places we visited. He never rushed us and he gave us enough time to enjoy the place at our own pace. He also knew where to take awesome photos. We had a delightful experience. We would highly recommend this package.
we love having Arthur as our driver/ guide - he’s so kind, attentive & informative Also, keen to find a way of making sure we enjoy the tour - thanks Arthur
It was awesome exp.guide was too good.they give special care for family. They help us in taking family snaps.we recommend them .
I applied because I could visit Geghard Monastery, which I wanted to visit in Armenia, and other places in one day. The driver/guide spoke English slowly and it was easy to understand. This tour was only for my family. It was nice that we could take our time with the hotel pick-up and drop-off.
Thank you Teresa and Levon for this fantastic experience! It was such a pleasure meeting you two! Everything was amazing. The tours were exciting. Even the ones without a tour guide. The driver showed us the places and gave us the required information to understand the history behind them. Also, it was very nice of him to show us the restaurants where we could eat delicious traditional Armenian food! We were very happy with our holiday and we will recommend your company to any traveler that will visit Armenia! P.S: There is wifi in the car, this is really nice because we had the possibility to share our experiences real quick with our followers 😁!
Everything was perfect and well arranged, less hassle especially we had a toddler to handle, guides are very nice people and understanding. Thank you so much for wonderful experience.
Armenia has a breath-taking view the historical attraction was superb... i enjoyed all the attraction that we had visited... lake sevan is very calming and good to visit..
Memory Maker made our tour amazingly special! We were very pleased with the tour guides Teresa, Levon & Starkey we almost extended our tour in Armenia. Teresa & Levon went beyond their touring services to ensure that we arrive, experience the best of our itinerary and dropped us off safe in all our destinations. They are also proficient in English you will not hesitate to converse with them. We will strongly recommend Memory Maker to friends and maybe even plan to go back to Armenia! I give them a 9 out of 10.
Memory Maker tours really helped in planning our tour! A well planned and splendid tour if your visiting Armenia , the trip was really comfortable and the locations are must visits with the most spectacular views (good ig feed) these places are a must see when you come to Armenia and the guides are really patient and rooted locals so the explanations are really authentic and factual. All in all you should get this tour.! 11/10
