Review of a private Armenia tour from Yerevan to Khor Virap, Areni, Noravank, and Tatev, with cable-car tips, costs, and timing.

“This was an amazing day tour and I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to travel around Armenia in a private tour. We arrived in Khor Virap and Noravank before any buses so we had both places to ourselves. Tatev requires a few more hours of driving but is 100% worth it, especially to see more parts of the country. Sergey spoke great English and shared his knowledge of Armenia and the sites with us, along with being a safe driver on the mountain roads. Don't hesitate to book this activity! Thanks Sergey!”

Review of Armenia’s private Tatev tour, with Khor Virap, Noravank, Areni wine tasting, cable-car costs, timing, and practical advice.

“It was an amazing tour. Comfortable car, an exceptionally amazing guide who took us to all the places in the package and breathtaking views. This private tour was all we wanted and expected from our trip to Armenia. Especially the journey, snow covered mountains, snow steams and cold winds made it much more memorable. Gor was our driver-cum- guide and he is a gem of a person. We talked all through our journey of 12-13 hours knowing about all what this tour and Armenia has to offer. Wings of Tatev is a real, once in a lifetime experience, more magical in winters with snow all around you. Would recommend Gor…”
