1.Amberd, Aragats, Lake Kari, Saghmosavank, Alphabet

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 355 reviews · 8 to 9 hours (approx.) · from $41Our pick

Review of Hyur Service’s Amberd and Lake Kari tour, with mountain views, monasteries, lunch details, practical tips, and honest value advice.

“The tour was overall enjoyable and well-organized. We appreciated the cold complimentary water and the excellent AC in the car, which made the ride comfortable. Our guide, Anna, was very friendly and spoke good English. The food offered during the tour was both tasty and reasonably priced. However, the time distribution at the stops felt a bit uneven - some places were rushed while others dragged on. Our driver, Armen, drove a bit aggressively at times.”
