Garni, Geghard, Khor Virap Tour privato con vista sul Monte Ararat
Descrizione
Il monastero di Khor Virap offre le viste più mozzafiato del Monte Ararat. Il monastero detiene una significativa importanza religiosa e storica - vista dove San Gregorio l'Illuminatore è stato imprigionato e il cristianesimo ha preso il suo inizio in Armenia. Successivamente, il Tempio pagano di Garni - unico tempio pagano ellenistico in piedi nella regione del Caucaso, risalente al I secolo d.C. - costruito come tempio al dio del sole Mihr (Mitra). Nel territorio si trova anche uno stabilimento balneare romano ben conservato. La Sinfonia di Pietre è una meraviglia naturale mozzafiato, uno dei fenomeni naturali più unici al mondo - creato nel corso dei millenni dall'attività vulcanica e dall'erosione. Il Monastero di Geghard o Ayrivank è un importante monumento architettonico, storico e religioso in Armenia. La maggior parte del monastero è scolpita all'interno di una roccia combinata con l'architettura del IV-X secolo del Rinascimento armeno. Il monastero di Geghard fa parte dei siti Patrimonio dell'umanità dell'UNESCO.
Opzioni del tour
Itinerario
Il monastero di Khor Virap si trova a circa un'ora di auto dalla capitale Yerevan e offre una splendida vista del simbolo che definisce l'Armenia: il maestoso Ararat. "Khor Virap" si traduce come "prigione profonda", ed è stato costruito sul luogo dell'ex prigione reale, situata nel sito storico di Artashat. Era questa stessa prigione in cui tenevano Gregorio l'Illuminatore, il primo cattolico armeno, per 13 anni interi.
Il nostro tour ti introdurrà all'esotica storia pagana dell'Armenia e mostrerà il successivo sviluppo e diffusione del cristianesimo nel paese. Il Tempio di Garni (77 d.C.) è l'unico tempio pagano in piedi in tutta l'area post-sovietica. Il tempio si erge con grazia su un altopiano che domina la gola del fiume Azat. Ospita anche lo stabilimento termale romano con il misterioso mosaico, realizzato con 30.000 pezzi di pietre naturali, nonché le rovine del palazzo reale, risalente al III secolo d.C.
Garni Gorge è una splendida attrazione naturale situata in Armenia, vicino al villaggio di Garni. È anche conosciuta come la "Sinfonia delle pietre" per le sue formazioni rocciose uniche che creano una bella sinfonia di colori e forme. * La visita alla Sinfonia dei Sassi dipende dalle condizioni meteorologiche.
Il complesso monastico di Geghard è un altro sito storico incluso in questo tour. Tradotto in italiano come “Monastero della Santa Lancia”, si riferisce alla lancia con cui Longino trafisse Gesù ancora appeso alla croce, successivamente portata in Armenia e custodita nel monastero di Geghard per 5 secoli. Il complesso è una rappresentazione dell'Armenia del XIII secolo, che è considerata l'età d'oro dell'architettura del paese. La parte più sorprendente è la virtù dell'architetto, che ha tagliato la chiesa proprio nella roccia solida pur considerando tutte le regole dell'architettura armena.
Charents Arch, affacciato sulla splendida Valle dell'Ararat, offre ai visitatori viste mozzafiato sul Monte Ararat e sul paesaggio circostante, creando uno sfondo perfetto per foto memorabili.

Great experience. Good price ( 70+ euro). Our driver was very polite and helpful. We visited 4 sites worth visiting: 1) Khor Virap near the borders, with the view of Ararat, 2) Geghard monastery up in the mountains, 3) Garni Roman Temple 4) The Symphony of stones path. I recommend it, it offers the possibility to see many sights of central Armenia in a comfortable way
Thank you very much for your kind review. We are delighted to hear that you had a great experience and found the tour to be both enjoyable and comfortable. It is wonderful to know that the driver’s politeness and helpfulness contributed positively to your day, and that you appreciated visiting the key sights of central Armenia, from Khor Virap to the Symphony of Stones. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again for another memorable journey.
Nice excursion to get to know the surroundings of Yerevan! 4 stops give a good impression of what the country has to offer. Unfortunately, our driver could not speak English, so there was no information during the trip! Despite blue skies we could not see the Ararat mountain due to a layer of smog...
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed discovering the surroundings of Yerevan. Please note that our drivers provide safe and comfortable transportation but do not give commentary in English; for detailed explanations, choosing a tour with a guide is recommended. We apologize for the visibility issues with Mount Ararat and hope to welcome you again in Armenia.
The driver was amazing, tour was interesting. Especially we liked symphony of stones and Garni. Again thanks to driver
Thank you for your feedback! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the tour and especially liked the Symphony of Stones and Garni. We’ll make sure to pass your thanks along to our driver. We hope to welcome you again for another great experience in Armenia!
We opted for a driver only on this tour and had the best time. So professional and friendly, we could look at the sights at our own pace and were able to see some amazing things. Would recommend this tour for everyone.
We booked a private trip with a driver, no guide, as I have been to those places and wanted to show them to my 16 year old daughter. Aram the driver was excellent, polite, knowledgable and discreet. The minivan was spotless clean with ample bottled water and a good internet connection. The whole trip took 7 hours including three sightseeing locations and lunch. We were lucky to have sunny clear skies and a great view of Ararat from Khor Virap. Lunch was optional and the cafe next to Garni temple was good, nothing special about food (a disappointment) but it was offset by lavash baking demonstration and tasting of freshly baked lavash with cheese and herbs. An excellent stress free experience. The only suggestion would be to provide one-pagers with info on the places we visited.
Dear Valery, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We're glad to hear that you had a wonderful experience on your private trip. Your insights help us enhance our services, and we hope to welcome you again in the future! Best Regards, Yerani Travel team
We booked for 3 full days and travel bus drivers are so rude and terrible behaved for all three days.Drivers don’t listen and stop at their choice of stop, gave on 30-40 min for each stop and start screaming if we late by few minutes. They don’t stop for food break and don’t even allow to eat any snacks inside travel van. Music also not allowed inside as they switching off by saying they have hearing problems. And to shock this behavior of each day with each drivers, seems they all have standard practice to harras tourist. Upon complaint to travel agency first agency attitude is also very casual and second drivers not at all listen to them and kept on shouting over phone. We recommend don’t use Yerani Travels at all.!
Dear Guest, We are truly sorry to hear that your experience with us left you so disappointed. We strive to ensure every guest feels comfortable, respected, and well taken care of, so your feedback is deeply concerning. That said, we are quite surprised by the severity and consistency of the claims you’ve made, especially across three full days of travel. This type of behavior is absolutely not acceptable under our standards, nor is it something we have received similar complaints about from other guests. We’d also like to clarify a few points: our itineraries do include scheduled stops, and while we understand delays can happen, timing is important to ensure the group sees everything planned for the day. We discourage eating in the vans only to maintain cleanliness and comfort for all guests, especially on shared group tours. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts. We are committed to improving and ensuring better experiences for all our future guests.
Visited the tour "Chor Virage Monastery - Garni-Gegard" with the family. I would like to mention Samvel's guide, his high professionalism, erudition, excellent command of the Russian language, as well as his unspeakable charm. It was one of the most interesting excursions in Armenia I have ever visited. Many thanks to Yerani travel and Samwell for their work! We'll definitely be back again!
Уважаемый Александр, От имени всей нашей команды выражаем искреннюю благодарность за Ваш положительный отзыв. Надеемся увидеть Вас вновь в Армении! С наилучшими пожеланиями, Команда "Ерани Травел"
