“This tour is a nice and efficient way to see several historical sights while getting helpful information about each. It’s also priced very reasonably, which makes it a good value. I especially enjoyed the communal-style meal, which was a pleasant touch. That said, the experience could use some improvement when it comes to energy and engagement. At times, it felt a bit stale and lacking in fun, which made parts of the tour feel longer than they were. With a bit more enthusiasm and interaction, it could go from good to great.”

“The trip was well-timed and stopped at interesting points. The tour company sent a text the night before with precise meeting direction and can ID so it was easy to find. Our guide Arsen was knowledgeable about any topic asked and gave suggestions of how to spend our time. Unfortunately, the December weather with the winter smog obscured Mt.Ararat so a few of the viewpoints were mostly valley views. The views were great and the other stops had enough to enjoy, especially the symphony stones. The lunch stop at the cook-to-order restaurant was very appreciated!”

8.Khor Virap, Garni & Geghard Guided Tour with Lavash Baking

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 49 reviews · 8 hours · from $35

“The trip was very good, the weather and the ride was comfortable, however it was rushed to accommodate the plan. Each location is about 40 mins sightseeing, however it takes 10 mins to reach from the parking spot and then to listen to the guide, we have to complete the site seeing in 20mins which is not enough. Recommending to rearrange the plan for visiting Khor Virap in the afternoon to have the best possible view of Ararat Mountain.”
