★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 320 reviews · 8 to 9 hours (approx.) · from $30Top rated

Khor Virap, Noravank, Areni-1 Birds Cave, plus Areni wine tasting from Yerevan. Great value, small group, and A/C comfort.

“Very knowledgeable tour guide who gave explanations throughout the trip. Comfortable enough mini-bus. Khor Virap was very busy, too much for my likes. Noravank, Areni Cave were more comfortable. Specially Noravank is very beautiful monastery and the scenery is spectacular. During the Wine tasting they actually give you a decent amount of wine to try, unlike other places that I have been.

One guided day from Yerevan to Charents Arch, Garni, Geghard, and Lake Sevan, with Wi-Fi van rides and included entry tickets.

“The trip packs in a lot and is good value for doing a lot of things if you have limited time in Armenia or want to do a full day day trip from Yerevan . However, our trip included both Russian speaking and English speaking tourists , which means we had to wait for everything to be translated in both languages. Also, the choice of the ( extra ) paid lunch stop was totally useless. The worst food possible, would have been better to stop at a food court and order a quick à la carte lunch . The guide Tigran and driver were good .”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 25 reviews · 15 hours · from $76

One long day trip from Tbilisi to Dilijan, Lake Sevan, and Yerevan, with monasteries, top city sights, and mountain views.

“The morning was a lottle big chaotic as the agent on the website keep asking us to wait in front of Spar, but there were people from other company keep asking us to go another place. We were confused as there were multiple cases of scamming happening in Tbilisi all these while. But at the end things solved out and end up we are combining several bookings from different source and depart together. The online agent should know better and communicate better. The guide Paata and the driver did and awesome job today bringing us to explore Armenia. Lake Sevan was awesome but the floor is too slippery during winters…”
