Khor Virap, Noravank Privétour met optionele wijnproeverij





Beschrijving
"""De tour begint bij het Khor Virap klooster – met het meest adembenemende uitzicht op de Bijbelse berg Ararat. Het klooster heeft een aanzienlijk religieus en historisch belang - zicht waar Sint Gregorius de Verlichter gevangen zat en het christendom zijn start nam in Armenië. Deze reis gaat verder naar de Wijnstreek van Armenië. Vogels of Areni 1 grot staat bekend om de ontdekking van bewijs van verschillende uitgebreide begrafenisrituelen en landbouwpraktijken. De spannendste dingen die uit deze grot zijn ontdekt, zijn het oudste paar leren schoenen, bijna 5500 jaar oud en het wijnhuis van ongeveer 6100 jaar oud - het oudste bekende wijnhuis ter wereld. Noravank Klooster is een uniek middeleeuws Armeens architectonisch juweeltje met een twee verdiepingen tellende hoofdkerk. Het klooster is omgeven door hoge kliffen en diepe valleien van rode en oranje vulkanische materialen. Tot slot een stop bij Areni dorp.

Reisroute
Het Khor Virap-klooster ligt op ongeveer een uur rijden van de hoofdstad Jerevan en biedt een prachtig uitzicht op het bepalende symbool van Armenië – de majestueuze Ararat. “Khor Virap” betekent “diepe kerker”, en werd gebouwd van de plaats van de voormalige koninklijke gevangenis, gelegen op de historische site van Artashat. Het was deze gevangenis waarin ze Gregorius de Verlichter, de eerste Armeense Catholicos, een hele 13 jaar vasthielden. Daarom is het geen verrassing dat deze plek een van de heiligste plekken is voor Armeniërs over de hele wereld. Het is ook het dichtstbijzijnde punt bij de berg Ararat vanuit Armenië; heel vaak wordt deze plek de nummer 1 reden om ons land te bezoeken!
Noravank is een van de pareltjes van de middeleeuwse Armeense architectuur. De kerk heeft een kenmerkende constructie van twee verdiepingen. Het beschikt over een unieke (zeldzaam voor Armeense architectuur) tweede verdieping, toegankelijk via een smalle trap, die de verbinding tussen het aardse en het goddelijke symboliseert. Omgeven door hoge kliffen en prachtige rode rotsen, biedt deze oude site niet alleen spirituele betekenis, maar ook adembenemende uitzichten. Hier ziet u de enige echte afbeelding van God de Vader in Armenië.
De tour brengt je naar de Vogelgrot. In 2008 ontdekten archeologen een aantal van de oudste artefacten ter wereld, waaronder een leren schoen en een wijnmakerij. Het bevat ook bewijs van uitgebreide begrafenisrituelen en landbouwpraktijken.
U krijgt de kans om de beroemde Armeense Areni-wijn te proeven en te kopen bij wijnmakerij Ar-Areni.

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 :)

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
Buying a tour from this agency.
