Itinerário
O nome do mosteiro Khor Virap é traduzido como “masmorra profunda”. O primeiro católico de todos os armênios, São Gregório, o Iluminador, foi preso aqui por 13 anos por ordem do rei pagão armênio Tirídates III por pregar o cristianismo. Quando o rei foi acometido por uma doença, sua irmã teve um sonho: um anjo disse a ela que Tirídates só seria salvo após a libertação de Gregório, o Iluminador. Assim, o rei libertou Gregório, o Iluminador, e este último curou o rei. Após a cura, o rei proclamou o cristianismo como a religião do estado. Khor Virap tem um importante significado histórico para a Armênia. Hoje, os turistas têm a oportunidade de descer à masmorra subterrânea localizada dentro da capela de São Gregório, o Iluminador. A melhor vista da montanha sagrada Ararat se abre do território do mosteiro.
O mosteiro de Noravank está localizado na província de Vayots Dzor, 3 km a nordeste da vila de Amaghu. O nome do mosteiro é traduzido como “novo mosteiro”. Noravank foi construído nos séculos 13-14. O complexo do mosteiro está localizado em uma borda íngreme da montanha, perto do penhasco. O território é “emoldurado” por falésias invulgares de cor vermelha brilhante, que criam um cenário muito pitoresco para os edifícios. Noravank foi um importante centro cultural e espiritual na Idade Média; também serviu como residência dos bispos da província de Syunik. O mosteiro de Noravank é uma das atrações mais visitadas da Armênia. O complexo é uma magnífica criação arquitetônica e artística. O mosteiro foi completamente restaurado.
A gruta foi descoberta por um investigador do Instituto de Arqueologia e Etnografia da Academia Nacional de Ciências da República da Arménia, arqueólogo Boris Gasparyan, continha muitos ninhos de pássaros, pelo que foi atribuído um nome alternativo à gruta - Pássaro.
Pessoas que apreciam bons vinhos e se interessam pela história da arquitetura antiga, com certeza vão se apaixonar pela pequena vila armênia de Areni. O festival “Areni Wine” é organizado aqui todo outono desde 2009; mais de 100 tipos dos melhores vinhos armênios são apresentados no festival e os visitantes podem degustar e comprar vinhos novos e velhos produzidos na vinícola Areni.
Viagem de Yerevan para os pontos de interesse e volta, e uma parada para refeição e tempo livre preencherão o resto do tempo

Another unforgettable excursion thanks to a one way tour. Seeing Mount Ararat up close must have been impressive. Visits to Khorvirap and Noravank churches each telling a rich and ancient story. Thanks to Lusine’s explanations, I was able to better understand the cultural and religious importance of these places. After this part of the day, leaving for Jermuq was another wonderful moment. The natural beauty of Jermuq Unbelievable. Many thanks also to Ando our driver, for his exemplary driving throughout the excursion.

Thank you especially for pointing out the efforts of the staff. Your feedback will be forwarded to the staff and I'm sure they will enjoy reading it. The satisfaction of travelers is our main goal!
Went on the tour with Hasmik Karapetyan as our guide and Norik as the driver. Took my university friends from Germany and can't recommend the tour enough. Hasmik is very friendly and has really good English, knowledge, and passion about everything. Witty jokes make the whole trip more memorable!
We are glad to read your opinion about our good guides!
we went to a little trip to Areni and everything was great!! The tour guides were very polite and helpful, especially Tigranuhi who told us everything about the churches and the mythology about them! Egor was also giving us huge information about the sights we visited! I recommend everyone to go explore our motherland with OneWay team! Thanks a lot!

We strive to provide all our guests with a memorable and enriching experience. We hope to see you again soon!
I took part to a tour with the One Way agency on november 2023. We visited Khor Virap, Noravank, Jermuk and a wine producer in Areni. All the schedules were realized on time and the guide, Nina, could be very helpful and give interesting insights on the attractions, both in Englissh and in Russian. The experience, then, has been generally positive. I just think that the tour could preview a visit to some wineyards instead of proposing only a factory were the wine is produced: this, especially on summer-autumun, would make it just perfect!
Thank you for your feedback on your recent tour with One Way agency. We are glad to hear that you had a positive experience overall, and we appreciate your suggestion for visiting vineyards instead of only a wine factory. We value your input and are always looking for ways to improve our tours.

We had a bilingual (English-Russian) trip with an excellent tour guide, Gayane. The trip was well scheduled, leaving enough time at each stop, including also a lunch break. Gayane was giving a lot of interesting information about all the places we visited, making the tour informative and enjoyable. Entrance fee has to be paid only at the cave but it's worth the short visit there. The only thing that shadowed a little bit the tour that on the way back our bus has broken down before reaching the final stop, thus we had to take the metro, and the air conditioner was scarcely working on the way. Instead, Armenian music was accompanying us during the travel on the bus, it was quite loud for me.
We love to know that this tour was educational and interesting. We always try to do our best to give you positive memories. We are waiting on your return, because there are still many places to discover together. Thank you very much for giving us your trust, it is something invaluable for us.
it was in english, bus with air-conditioning (sometimes not working). Driver good (but keep in mind armenian traffic is terrible). pay attention for change at coffee shop and seller I get soured milk . If they see you are a foreigner they are saying a higher price. Guide (Gayane) was very nice with a lot of information and correct time limits. Lunch was at a good big place. there are water(fountain) at stops, sometimes just for this reason (but worth asking for it). 1500 for birds cave worth út, but dont expect a long journey. lot of steps ín general. A good trip for introducing you Armenia out of Yerevan.
Our teams work daily to better welcome and serve all our valued guests. And knowing that your stay was wonderful gives us the feeling of accomplishment. Thank you so much for sharing your precious opinion with us! Check back often!
