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

Explore Khor Virap, Garni, Geghard, Mount Ararat views, Azat Reservoir, and fresh lavash baking on an Armenia day tour.

“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.”
