Resplan
Börja din morgon med att beundra den magnifika Azat-ravinen och den fantastiska klippformationen känd som Symphony of Stones. Unikt för Armenien är de symmetriska basaltpelarna i Symphony of Stones en bra start på turnén. Njut av naturens ljud när den magnifika floden Azat skapar symfonin i stenarna.
Byggt år 66 AD av kung Tirdates I Garni-templet är det enda bevarade hedniska templet i Armenien. Templet är utfört i en typisk grekisk-romersk stil som liknar många tempel i Grekland och Italien. Lär dig om historien om detta enda tempel, hur det kom till modern tid och hur det överlevde Armeniens kristnadom. På tempelområdet kan du förundras över det unika badhuset i romersk stil och dess ursprungliga mosaiker som är 2000 år gamla.
Detta UNESCO-världsarv är unikt. Geghard-klostret är delvis uthugget i bergssidan och grottorna som omges av. Förundras över utsökta sniderier av granatäpplen, vindruvor och helgon. Lär dig om den mystiska historien om spjutet som skadade Jesus under korsfästelsen och hur det kom till Geghard-klostret. Njut av klassiska armeniska snacks precis innan du beger dig ut för att äta lunch.
Lär känna det lokala lantliga livet i Armenien och specifikt livet i byn Fantan över en hemlagad lunch. Armeniens väsen kan inte förstås utan att kliva in i den typiska familjens hus. Alla kostbehov kan tillgodoses. Efter lunch serveras kaffe/te och efterrätter.
Bli förvånad över det stora antalet "khachkar" (stenetsade gravstenar) på Noratus-kyrkogården och upptäck historien bakom dem. Lär dig mer om lokalbefolkningens seder och legender de har genom att utforska denna medeltida kyrkogård.
Sitter på toppen av kullen på Sevan-halvön har detta kloster den bästa utsikten över sjön Sevan. Byggt på 900-talet Sevanvank har varit ett viktigt kulturellt och andligt århundrade för Armenien.
Uppskatta lugnet i Sevansjön från Sevanhalvön. Sjön Sevan är en av de största och högsta sötvattensjöarna i världen. På sommaren går det även efter överenskommelse med hela gruppen att bada i sjön och svalka sig.

We had a fantastic day, the sights were beautiful, and we learned so much about the sights and the history of the country. We also had a delicious, varied lunch served at a family home (which was a consistent highlight in all tours we joined Envoy).
Dear PC, Thank you so much for your kind review! We are delighted to hear that you had such a fantastic day exploring Armenia and enjoyed both the beautiful sights and the stories behind them. It's especially wonderful to know that the lunch at the family home was one of the highlights of your experience. Supporting local families and sharing authentic Armenian hospitality is something we truly value. Thank you for choosing to join multiple tours with us. It was a pleasure to have you, and we hope to welcome you back to Armenia—or to Georgia—for more memorable adventures in the future!
We went on a private tour with our friends. The car was very comfortable. I communicated with Marine about our reservation since November, we got all information in time and she also kept in touch before the departure (we were in two different hotels). Marine gave us lot of interesting facts not only about the sites we visited, but also about life and current affairs in Armenia. We'd like to appreciate home made lunch in family house in the countryside. It was very authentic experience and food was delicious. It gave us opportunity to talk about armenian cuisine. Without Envoy tours it would be very difficult to visit all the places in one day and for sure we wouldn't learn that much. The whole tour was perfect and we were happy to visit all these beautiful places with Marine.

Excellent tour to a selection of Armenian tourist attractions: Stone Symphony, Garni Temple, Geghard Monastery, Novatus, Lake Sevan and Sevansvank. Very good guide Aida and great food in a family home in Fantan
Dear Angel D, Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re so glad you enjoyed exploring Armenia’s highlights — from the Stone Symphony and Garni Temple to Lake Sevan and Sevanavank. It’s great to hear that Aida made your experience even more special with her guiding, and that you enjoyed the homemade lunch in Fantan — always a guest favorite! We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back soon to discover even more of Armenia with us.
My husband and me spent a week in Armenia this October. All our day tours and accommodation were organised by Envoy tours. We had a memorable trip thanks to Envoy's smooth organization and friendly guides. Thank you Zara, Aida and Nina

The tour was amazing! It was a long day and we covered a lot of ground. This region of Armenia is so beautiful and I learned a ton of history. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, and lunch at a family's home was a real highlight. Highly recommend.
Dear aaronsG3995WU, Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the tour and found the day both enriching and memorable.

Your recommendation means a lot to us. We hope to welcome you back soon to explore even more of Armenia!
Well organised tour of the main sights around Yerevan with a knowledgable tour guide and a friendly bunch of fellow tourists. My second tour through Envoy Hostel - both excellent - benefitted from an exceptional lunch from a local family as part of the experience. Great value.

Great tour and greater the guide! Saten was always clear, never boring, super friendly and enthusiastic. You can feel her passion in her job and her love in her county.
Dear Matteo, thank you so much for your right up of your tour experience with us. We certainly love our country and even more, love showing it off to our dear guests. Thanks for choosing envoy (more than once!) and for your 5 star rating. Hope to see you again soon!
The tour was very well organized: on time, right pace, and a safe driver. Our guide, Saten, was very knowledgeable about Armenia's history and passionate about it. I really liked her positive attitude. The tour included a homemade lunch in a local family's home, which was absolutely delicious.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. Your 5 star rating means a lot to us. Thank you for choosing Envoy Tours for your travel around our region - hope to see you again one day so make more travel memories together :) Greetings from our friendly team, especially Saten
This small group day tour was fantastic. The local guide was very knowledgeable and the number of stops was perfect and they were also different. The scenery in this part of Armenia is outstanding. The tour also included lunch at a local families home and we sat at their dining room table with so much home-made food. It was so delicious.
Dear Sasha, thank you so much for taking the time to write us a review of our tours (and hostel too! <3). We are simply thrilled to know you had a great time with us. We agree that the lunch experience is a highlight and we are glad you enjoyed the authenticity of it. We hope you have taken many wonderful (and tasty :) ) travel memories with you. Hope our paths cross again in your travels. Sending you warm regards from our Crew.
It was an amazing experience! Tour truly offers great value for money. Our guide was fluent in English and shared a lot of information and interesting facts about each location we visited. The small group size of just six people made the experience even more enjoyable. We were also fortunate that there weren't many tourists at the spots we visited, likely because the tour was on a Monday. One of the highlights was the homemade lunch at a local family's home, which added a wonderful, authentic touch to the trip. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for your amazing review and wonderful comments. We are so glad you enjoyed our tours which are designed to go beyond the standard tours. We aim to provide cultural insights and authentic experiences through our village family hosted lunches (and create much needed employment and opportunity for cultural exchange and growth in the regions). Thank you for choosing envoy tours. We trust you have taken many wonderful travel memories with you and hope to see you again one day. Greetings from our Crew.
