Itinerario
Il monastero di Khor Virap si trova a circa un'ora di auto dalla capitale Yerevan e offre una vista incredibile sul simbolo che definisce l'Armenia - il maestoso Ararat. “Khor Virap” si traduce come “dungeon profondo”, ed è stato costruito sul luogo dell’ex prigione reale, situata sul sito storico di Artashat. Fu proprio in questa prigione che custodirono Gregorio l'Illuminatore, il primo Catholicos armeno, per ben 13 anni. Pertanto, non sorprende che questo luogo sia uno dei luoghi più sacri per gli armeni di tutto il mondo. Allo stesso modo, è anche il punto più vicino al Monte Ararat dall’Armenia; molto spesso questo luogo diventa il motivo numero 1 per visitare il nostro paese!
Noravank è uno dei gioielli dell'architettura armena medievale. La chiesa ha una caratteristica costruzione a due piani. È caratterizzato da un unico (raro per l'architettura armena) secondo piano, accessibile da una stretta scala, che simboleggia la connessione tra il terreno e il divino. Circondato da alte scogliere e splendide rocce rosse, questo antico sito offre non solo un significato spirituale, ma anche panorami mozzafiato. Qui vedrai l'unica e sola rappresentazione di Dio Padre in Armenia.
Il tour ti porterà alla Grotta degli Uccelli. Nel 2008, gli archeologi hanno scoperto diversi dei manufatti più antichi del mondo, tra cui una scarpa in pelle e una cantina. Contiene anche prove di elaborati rituali di sepoltura e pratiche agricole.
Avrete la possibilità di degustare e acquistare il rinomato vino Areni dell'Armenia presso la cantina Ar-Areni.

Excellent tour. Everything worked very well, on schedule, there was water in the van. The guide Samuel is fantastic. Explains everything very well and with great English. The driver Marat drives very well and calm.

Your kind words about Samuel and Marat mean a lot to us, and we will be happy to share your feedback with them. We hope to welcome you back to Armenia for another memorable journey in the future!
I had an amazing day with Nektar as my guide! She’s incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience smooth and memorable. We visited Khor Virap, explored the Birds’ Cave, enjoyed a delicious traditional Armenian lunch, admired the stunning Noravank Monastery, and even had a great wine tasting to finish the tour. Everything was perfectly organized, and Nektar’s passion for her country really shows. Highly recommend her to anyone visiting Armenia
Dear William, What a joy to read Your impressions! Sounds like the day was filled with meaningful moments, great company, and a perfect blend of culture, nature, and flavor. We're so glad it all came together seamlessly — and we'd be thrilled to share more of Armenia with You again one day!
I went for a day tour with my couple. We found a well organized company and a guide eager to tell us every detail. They gave us a local candy and cold water, and brought us to eat something to a beautiful restaurant with good price. We recommend this company a lot!! :)
Dear Guest, We truly appreciate your kind words and your recommendation — it means the world to us. We hope to welcome you back for more memorable adventures in the future! Best Regards, "Yerani Travel" team
I’d like to extend our warmest appreciation to Armine and Vahan for a wonderful trip. It was such an amazing experience. I really commend Armine for her dedication to share the rich culture of Armenia. And to Vahan, for driving us safely during the entire trip. We just got a short stay in Armenia, but definitely, Armine made it very worth it and memorable trip. We enjoyed the breathtaking views going to Noravank. I think of all the monasteries that we’ve visited, Norabank was one of the best, the breathtaking views was just so extra ordinary.
Dear Joey, Thanks for joining us on the tour and also thank you for taking your time to write the review. It's our pleasure to read your kind words about our staff and services. We hope to see you again here! With warm wishes, "Yerani Travel" team
Well organized and everyone had a fabulous time. Our guides, Anastasia and Marat, were friendly, knowledgeable, and added to the experience. The van had WiFi and plenty of water. Would recommend
Dear Lance, We are delighted to know that you fully enjoyed your tour and thank you for your kind words about our staff and services. We hope to see you back in our sunny Armenia again in the future. Kindest Regards, "Yerani travel" team.
With Yerani, we went on a tour in June that included a visit to the Hor Virap Monastery, which offers chic views of Ararat, the Bird Cave, the Novarank Monastery, lunch in a very beautiful location and a winery with tasting. We had guide Naira B very professional, insanely interesting storytelling and knows the history of the country to the minutiae. Bus seating 16, with internet, driver Arthur O. is very attentive and drives beautifully. Everything is very compact, informative, well-allocated time, everyone had time to watch and enjoy the beautiful views. It was our first encounter with Armenia and we were delighted. If we go on tours we'll only book here
Уважаемая Юлия, Благодарим за отзыв . Будем рады снова принять Вас в Армении! С уважением, Команда Ерани Травел
In addition to the beautiful views of Armenia, the tour was filled with a lot of educational and interesting information, for which thanks to guide Ike. And a special thanks to driver Aruth for his comfortable driving :)
Уважаемый Иван, От имени всей команды выражаем искреннюю благодарность за Ваш положительный отзыв и за теплые слова! Очень приятно слышать, что мы сумели оправдать Ваши ожидания. Будем рады встретиться с Вами вновь во время следующего визита в Армению. С наилучшими пожеланиями, Команда ''Yerani Travel''
Armenia is one of the travelling destination in my wish list. Thanks a lot for the team Yerani travels to make it true. Miss. Hasmik Babalaryan and Sushan (our guides) gave us a complete sketch about the places we visited there. Miss. Hasmik really entertained us by giving activities and all. I am sure, this trip will always be in my heart. Thanks again! With Love and wishes Anas Game street, UAE 🇦🇪
Dear Anoozz, It is great to hear that you had a memorable stay with us and thank you for praising our service. We do hope we will have the pleasure to welcome you back in the near future. Sincerely, "Yerani Travel" team
The tour and the guide were great, we really enjoyed everything. The places we saw were beautiful and full of history. The guide (Ani) knew the difference between facts, and fiction and myths. She always had something interesting to answer for a lot of questions we had and overall was very nice. We were even surprised that not only the car had wifi spot, but that it was working well throughout the trip.
Dear Guest, Thank you for writing us an amazing 5* review! We are pleased to know that you enjoyed with your tour with our travel services and staff, we will inform our lovely guide your kind compliments. The traveler's satisfaction is our main goal! Best Regards, "Yerani Travel" Team
Our family of six embarked on multiple single-day tours with Yerani Travel. These tours were, collectively, among the best experiences of our eight-week visit to Yerevan. The Yerani office staff communicated very well with us and were accommodating and flexible. Responses were prompt and polite. The vehicles were clean, comfortable, in excellent mechanical condition, and (for you other westerns who also will not travel without seatbelt on) all had operational seatbelts in every seat. This had been an issue with other transportation in Armenia, where seatbelts are often inoperable or removed, and in any case are generally not used.The stops (for dining, breaks, etc) recommended by our guide and driver were all excellent. Our tour guide, Nareh, and driver, Marat, are both a credit to Yerani travel. We derived as much enjoyment from their companionship as we did from the sites we visited. I recommend that you request them for your own tours, which you may do when booking the tour online or over the phone. Nareh is the best guide we could have asked for. In addition to working for Yerani, she is a researcher (cultural anthropologist, I believe) at a museum in Yerevan. She was able to provide excellent, in depth responses to our questions, and provided us with much additional insight into the history of the country and the specific locations. Further, she communicated very well and tailored our tours to our specific interests. She even sang for us, briefly but beautifully, to demonstrate the acoustics in the choir room at one of the monastaries. Marat is a good man and a good driver. Gentlemanly and attentive to our family members and a pleasure to travel with. Further, in a region where most westerners will find the driving habits to be concerning, Marat was capable and cautious. We felt safe with him. When we return to visit Armenia again later this year, we will consider only Yerani for our tour and transfer needs. We recommend them highly.
Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time and write an amazing 5* review. We are pleased to know that you enjoyed your trip with our provided travel services and staff. We will inform our lovely guide Nare and driver Marat your kind comments and compliments. Hope we will have a chance to host you again in Armenia. Best Regards Yerani Travel Team
