start og slutpunkt
St. Hripsime kirke er en af de berømte kirkelige bygninger i byen Echmiadzin. Dette er det udviklede og perfekte eksempel på kors-cupola kirker i Armenien. Kirken er kendt for sin arkitektoniske enkelhed og højhed. Graven af den kristne martyr Jomfru Hripsime er i kirken sakristi. Stedet er optaget på UNESCOs Verdensarvsliste.
Ikke langt fra Echmiadzin-katedralen, mod baggrunden af de hvide toppe i Ararat, kan man se silhuetten af kuplen i St. Gayane kirke. Det blev bygget i det 7. århundrede og tilhører kuppel-basilika stil. Ifølge legenden blev denne kirke bygget over graven til Jomfru Gayane, der var blevet martyrdømt for at prædike kristendommen. Stedet er optaget på UNESCOs Verdensarvsliste.
Centrum for den armenske apostoliske kirke – St. Echmiadzin ligger 20 km væk fra Erevan. Katedralen i Echmiadzin blev grundlagt i begyndelsen af det fjerde århundrede og er en af de ældste kirker i verden. Ifølge legenden blev kirken bygget på det sted, hvor Jesu Kristi åbenbaring blev set til Gregory Illuminator i drømmen. Kirkens indre er dækket af freskoer, skabt af familien Hovnatanyan. Catholicos og Theological Academy ligger i nærheden af katedralen. Stedet er optaget på UNESCOs Verdensarvsliste.
Dette vidunderlige tempel er resultatet af dygtighed og modig kreativitet af armenske arkitekter fra det 7. århundrede. Efter at have været bygget på flere søjler, kunne den kun overleve indtil det 10. århundrede. Da der i begyndelsen af det 20. århundrede blev udgravet dette sted, kunne mange specialister næppe acceptere dens rekonstruktionsmodel, designet af den berømte armenske arkitekt Toros Toramanyan, da det var svært at tro, at en så stor og kompliceret konstruktion kunne være bygget i disse dage, og forbløffende på den tid kom en af basrelieverne i St. Chapelle kirken i Paris for at bevise Toramanyans version; basreliefen skildrer Zvartnots tempel med Noahs Ark og det ligner modellen, repræsenteret af arkitekten. Stedet er optaget på UNESCOs liste over verdens kulturarv.

Fantastic tour. Arpi is a professor in philology at Yerevan University, and her knowledge of the churches and cathedrals is really excellent.
We had a great experience on the Echmiadzin Cathedral tour with Nina. She was knowledgeable, engaging, and shared a lot of interesting information throughout the day. The driver was also excellent, making the trip comfortable and smooth. Overall, it was a very informative and enjoyable tour. Highly recommended!

It was a very interesting, rich and definitely worthwhile tour. Incredibly professional guide Nina told a lot of interesting things, she knows exactly what she does, and besides that, she is also a very nice person. Thanks to driver Joseph for the soft and fast road. I definitely didn't regret it, and I advise you all to go in that direction!

Thank You Haik and Leo and Joseph for the wonderful tours . There were very profesional stories by the guide Hayk and all of them were very kind.
It’s so nice to hear that you were satisfied with our services. You can surely rely on our company in future as well!
First thing to say, Hyur is an excellent operator. All tours are good and well organized. However, if you have little time in Yerevan, this tour should be on your priority list. Echmiadzin Complex and Zvartnots temple are unique places. Our guide Hayk was super nice, he even changed me 5 euros so that I could pay for the museum in local money which I did not have.
We are very grateful for the nice review! You are always welcome to Armenia!
I had a wonderful and very well-organized tour to Echmiadzin Cathedral & Churches and the Zvartnots Temple. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish and made for a very enjoyable day. Our guide Eduard was excellent – he spoke fluent English, was very informative, and explained the history and significance of the sites in a clear and engaging way. Our driver Leo was also outstanding – very safe, calm, and professional, which made the journey extremely comfortable. As on previous tours, I really appreciated the complimentary water, cookies, and free Wi-Fi in the vehicle, which added a nice extra level of comfort. Overall, another beautiful day with great organization and excellent service. Highly recommended!
Your kind words mean a lot to us! We look forward to welcoming you again in Armenia!
A big thank you to our guide Harpi for her kindness and professionalism! This was the third time with this guide, and I highly recommend her! As much time was spent on explanations for the Russian-speaking part as for the English-speaking part! Thanks also to Ara, a always caring driver!
