Itinéraire
Khor Virap est le lieu de pèlerinage le plus célèbre d'Arménie, car il est directement lié à l'adoption du christianisme. En tant que religion d'État, le christianisme en Arménie a été adopté en 301 en raison des efforts de saint Grégoire l'Illuminateur, qui, avant de convertir le roi Trdat Le 3 au christianisme, a été emprisonné dans le donjon, sur lequel une église du monastère de Khor Virap a été construite au 17ème siècle. Du monastère, on peut admirer la vue imprenable sur le mont biblique Ararat.
Réparti entre les montagnes, le réservoir Azat réunit l'eau et le ciel, créant l'une des vues les plus impressionnantes et paisibles de l'Arménie.
Le temple Garni, qui domine un cap triangulaire, est l'exemple unique de la culture païenne en Arménie. C'est un mélange de styles gréco-romain et arménien. Le roi Trdat Le Premier ordonna la construction du temple au premier siècle de notre ère et le dédia au Dieu du Soleil. Après avoir adopté le christianisme en 301, le temple païen perdit de son importance et la forteresse de Garni devint la résidence d'été des rois. De nos jours, les ruines du palais royal et la salle de bain avec une superbe œuvre en mosaïque peuvent être trouvées près du temple.
Le monastère de Geghard est le chef-d'œuvre indépassable de l'architecture arménienne du XIIIe siècle. Certaines des églises du complexe sont taillées de main de maître dans un énorme rocher. Dès le début, le complexe s'appelait Ayrivank (monastère rupestre), puis il a été renommé Geghard (lance) car la lance, utilisée par le soldat romain pour piquer du côté de Jésus-Christ, avait été conservée dans ce monastère pendant de nombreux siècles. Grâce à sa construction, Geghardavank est le meilleur endroit pour chanter des chants spirituels. Le complexe est riche de subtils embellissements sculpturaux et de nombreux khatchkars (croix de pierre) saisissants. Le site est inscrit sur la liste du patrimoine culturel mondial de l'UNESCO.

The tour was well-organized. Tamara, our guide was great. She was knowledgeable, spoke good English and was really nice. Artur, our drive drove safely and is a great guy as well. Overall, we had a great day! Thank you!
We are grateful for the nice review received. It’s our pleasure to make the stay of our customers enjoyable!
We took this tour with a group of 11 people, including kids. The bus arrived on time, and everyone fit comfortably in the air-conditioned coach. The trip was 10am-7pm We added an guid a day before the trip for additional $85 (for the group) Our guide, Haik, was knowledgeable and spoke in English as requested, he recommended us what to purchase and kept us on schedule. However, it was often difficult to understand the information he shared while we were on the road because he was speaking through the microphone without facing the passengers, making his voice sound muffled. Other than that, the tour was well organized, and we were able to see a lot in just one day. Overall, it was a good experience.
Thank you for your detailed feedback! We’re very glad you enjoyed the tour and appreciated Hayk’s guidance, the comfortable coach, and the overall organization. Thank you as well for mentioning the microphone issue. We’ll take this into account to make the guide’s commentary clearer during the journey.
Took the day trip with Haik and Ashot Ride was comfortable with accommodations for my 12 person group Haik was knowledgeable with the history and details of the sites we saw which included Garni, Geghart, and Khor Virap Haik also provided recommendations for lunch, wine, and gifts
We are deeply thankful for your kind feedback! We’re ready to organize more wonderful experiences for you!

We had a wonderful tour and enjoyed every minute of it. Our guide Karen was very knowledgeable, polite, and friendly, and shared the history in a very interesting and engaging way. As a special touch, he even sang for us beautifully, which made the experience even more memorable. The car was clean and very comfortable, making the journey relaxing from start to finish. We were never rushed and could stop whenever we wanted to take photos, enjoy the scenery, or simply take a break. The lunch stop was also excellent, and we had delicious local food. Overall, everything was perfectly organized, and we highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a comfortable, enjoyable, and memorable experience. Thank you for a fantastic day! The driver was Arman.

We had an incredible experience on our tour of Armenia! Jasmine was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. She was warm, friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and shared so much history and local insight that made every stop even more meaningful. She kept the day fun, engaging, and made everyone feel welcome. Our driver was excellent as well, and the van was spotless, comfortable, and had the air conditioning blasting—which was very appreciated on a warm day! Everything was well organized, ran smoothly, and we never felt rushed. If you're looking for a great way to experience Armenia, I can't recommend this tour enough. A huge thank you to Jasmine for making it such a memorable day. We would happily book another tour with her in the future!
We are very grateful for nice review! It will be pleasure for us to host you in Armenia again!
We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide, Arevik, and our driver, Levon. Our day included Khor Virap, Azat Reservoir, Garni Temple, and Geghard Monastery, and we truly enjoyed every moment of their company. We were traveling with three children (ages 12, 14, and 16), and Arevik was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging. She connected so well with our kids, making the history and culture come alive with interesting stories and detailed explanations. She was patient, warm, and made everyone feel included throughout the tour. Levon was also exceptional—friendly, professional, and a pleasure to travel with. We always felt safe and comfortable, and his positive attitude added to the enjoyment of the day. Together, Arevik and Levon made this one of the highlights of our trip to Armenia. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable tour experience!
We are very grateful for the nice review! You are always welcome to Armenia!
