Yerevan: Khor Virap, Garni & Geghard Day Trip with PickupYou’ll travel from Yerevan into Armenia’s heart—climb through Khor Virap’s history with views of Mount Ararat, touch ancient stones at Garni Temple, and listen as voices fill Geghard Monastery’s carved halls. With pickup included and a local guide sharing stories along the way, this day trip leaves more than photos—it lingers.
Yerevan to Tatev, Khor Virap & Noravank: Private Day TripYou’ll step into ancient monasteries like Khor Virap with Mount Ararat watching over you, climb Noravank’s steep stone steps after winding through canyons, then float above forests on the Tatev ropeway before exploring its fortress-like monastery.

Private tour Armenia: Echmiadzin, Geghard, Garni & Khor VirapA private tour of Armenia covering five UNESCO and heritage sites—Echmiadzin Cathedral, Zvartnots, Garni Temple, Geghard Monastery and Khor Virap—with hotel pickup and transport by air-conditioned vehicle. The tour runs 7 to 8 hours and operates in all weather; a live guide in English or Russian is available on some options. Zvartnots Temple closes Mondays; on those days, the itinerary includes Symphony of Stones instead.Is it for me?Book with a guide if you want the history and the stories behind each site woven together; book without one if you prefer to move at your own pace and sit with each monastery or temple as long as you want. Either way, the vehicle and pickup mean you're not navigating between five remote sites on your own—you're moving through them as a coherent day instead of a scattered list.
