Opzioni del tour
Itinerario
La tua avventura inizierà con una visita al Monastero di Khor Virap, situato ai piedi del maestoso Monte Ararat. San Gregorio l'Illuminatore fu imprigionato qui prima di portare il cristianesimo in Armenia, rendendolo il primo paese ad adottare il cristianesimo come religione di stato.
Qui si può godere l'ambiente sereno e panoramico di Azat Reservoir e avere grandi foto.
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. Lo stabilimento termale greco-romano con il mosaico, fatto di 30.000 pezzi di pietre naturali, così come le rovine del palazzo reale, vi porterà nel III secolo d.C.
La Sinfonia di Pietre è una meraviglia naturale mozzafiato. Presenta alte formazioni rocciose vulcaniche a forma di colonna che creano un paesaggio mozzafiato.
Il complesso monastico di Geghard è un altro sito storico incluso in questo tour. San Gegardo simboleggia la lancia con cui il centurione romano trafisse Gesù dopo la crocifissione. Successivamente la lancia era stata portata in Armenia e conservata nel monastero di Geghard per 5 secoli. Il complesso presenta l'Armenia del XIII secolo, che è considerata l'età d'oro dell'architettura del paese. Tuttavia, la parte più sorprendente di questo complesso è la sua soluzione architettonica chiese forate nella solida roccia che sono state costruite secondo le regole dell'architettura armena.
Charents Arch è un luogo spettacolare per vedere il Monte Ararat e la sua valle.

I had a wonderful time exploring Khor Virap, Azat Reservoir, Garni Temple, the Symphony of Stones, and Geghard Monastery. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to share the fascinating history behind each location. He was also very inclusive, thoughtfully alternating the order of explanation in Russian and English so that everyone felt equally engaged throughout the tour. The experience was made even more memorable with a delicious lunch at a beautiful restaurant overlooking the Azat River — truly the cherry on top.

We were absolutely delighted with the trip. The program is incredibly busy, and the views of Choir Virap and Mount Ararat are mesmerizing. Everything is organized at the highest level, time has flown under the radar, and we have enjoyed every moment. Special thanks to our driver Edgar for driving very carefully, comfortably and safely throughout the route. And a special, huge thank you to our guide Nectar!

Большое спасибо за ваш тёплый и подробный отзыв. Мы очень рады, что поездка оставила у вас такие яркие впечатления и подарила положительные эмоции. Будем счастливы видеть вас снова на наших турах.
One would have to be senseless to come to Armenia and miss these highlights: 1. Anastasia, my English speaking guide 2. the fabulous views of Mt. Ararat 3. the ancient monasteries 4. Garni Temple with Roman baths and the short video explaining in many different languages how the baths operated with such Roman ingenuity 5. the delicious lunch served at a restaurant with stunning views (extra fee but well worth it) 6. the UNESCO monastery, Geghard, carved partly out of the rocky hillside 7. The Symphony of stones, my absolute favorite part of the day. I have been to similar volcanic basalt columns in Iceland, Northern Ireland, El Salvador, and Mammoth, California, but they pale in comparison to these. The entire valley is surrounded with these unique and stunning naturally formed columns. I could have spent hours wandering among them. Truly a sight to see, even if you have been awed by basalt columns before. Even if this was the only sight today, the tour would have been worth it. I was the only English speaker out of the full van of 18 tourists, and Anastasia clearly narrated to me separately.
Dear guest, Thank you very much for your wonderful and detailed review! We’re thrilled to hear that the highlights of Armenia — from Mount Ararat to Garni Temple, Geghard Monastery, and the stunning Symphony of Stones — left such a strong impression on you. We’re especially happy that Anastasia made sure you felt fully included and well taken care of throughout the tour. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you again in Armenia!
It was a great time. Very thankful to have Anastasia as a guide.
