From the operator’s live schedule on Viator, checked Oct 3.
Your adventure will begin with a visit to the Khor Virap Monastery, located at the foot of the majestic Mount Ararat. Saint Gregory the Illuminator was imprisoned here before bringing Christianity to Armenia, making it the first country to adopt Christianity as its state religion.
Here you can enjoy Azat Reservoir's serene and scenic surroundings and have great photos.
Garni Temple (77 A.D.) is the only standing heathen temple in the whole post-Soviet area. The temple gracefully stands on a high plateau overlooking the Azat river gorge. The greek-roman bath house with the mosaic, made out of 30,000 pieces of natural stones, as well as the ruins of the royal palace, will take you to 3rd century A.D.
The Symphony of Stones is a stunning natural wonder. It features tall, column-like volcanic rock formations that create a breathtaking landscape.
The Monastery complex of Geghard is another historical site included to this tour. St. Geghard symbolizes the lance with which the Roman centurion pierced Jesus after crusifixion. Later the lance had been brought to Armenia and kept in Geghard Monastery for 5 centuries. The complex presents Armenia of 13th century, which is considered to be the Golden Age of the country’s architecture. However, the most astonishing part of this complex is its architectural solution churches drilled into the solid rock that were constructed in accordance to the rules of Armenian architecture.
Charents Arch is a spectacular place to view Mt. Ararat and her valley.

This experience was phenomenal, all the staff insured. We had the best and safest trip possible. Would definitely recommend.
We’re delighted to know you had such a wonderful experience and felt comfortable throughout the journey. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we would be happy to welcome you again.
Nice scenery and we visited a lot of different places. The tour guide Nektar was very talented and informative, and told a lot about the history of Armenia. Had some hiccups with very late departure due to late arrival of other passengers. In addition other passengers were also often late for departure at the different stops. This made the stops feel rushed and we felt that the guide got a bit stressed. The tour itself was good, but time management could be better.

We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful scenery, the variety of places visited, and especially Nektar’s knowledge and passion for sharing the history of Armenia.

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.
