Itinerary

15 min

The Charents Arch is a place that attracts the attention of all those who are heading to Garni. Here you will have a breathtaking view of the biblical Mount Ararat (in good weather).

Admission included40 min

The pagan temple of Garni is the most famous monument of the pagan and Hellenistic eras. We will talk about the curious religious paradoxes of ancient and modern Armenia. And from the observation deck near the temple, we will look at the "symphony of stones" - many vertical stone pillars on the walls of the gorge.

Admission included20 min

The rocks of the gorge consist of huge basalt pillars hanging over the ground at a height of about 50 meters. They are located vertically, and their unusual hexagonal shape makes them look like organ pipes. That is why the place is known by several names - "Stone Organ", "Basalt Organ", but the most common one is "Symphony of Stones".

40 min

Geghard Monastery is an amazing creation of man. Walking through the halls, we will study the bas-reliefs, each of which is a work of art. Here you can also buy the famous Geghard gata (traditional pastry).

30 min

Lake Sevan is one of the most beautiful lakes in the Caucasus. It is located in a mountain bowl at an altitude of 1916 meters above sea level. Let's admire its beauty and find out if it is true that the waters of the lake change color like a chameleon.

40 min

The monastery is an ancient temple complex that captivates with its unusual architecture at first glance.

Magical Journey with a Dear Friend🖤

We are lucky to see Yerevan, and Armenia in general, through the eyes of our tour guide Arthur. It's no longer just a tour guide, but a true friend! Throughout the journey we felt like we were just visiting a dear friend, for which we are very grateful. The tour perfectly combines history, religion, architecture, culture, everything you need to learn to experience the spirit of the people, the spirit of the people's love for their homeland. If this is your first trip - be sure to recommend! You won't. Guys, organizers and tour guides are thanked immensely. Will we come again? I will! Because Armenia is about loving all the details!)

Well-organized tour with a lot of sightseeing

The tour was amazingly organized. Special thanks to George, who took me to places off the itinerary. It was a few months ago, but I'm still impressed :)
