Khor Virap sits alone on a hill with Ararat filling the sky behind it, which is why it opens most southern itineraries. Below are the 15 best trips out there: the ones that leave early enough for a clear mountain, the ones that carry on to Noravank and Areni, and what each seat costs.

“As and introvert I was afraid at first how do I survive a tour with a group of 50, but it was very nicely organized. The group divided into smaller groups by language and on every sight we had some time with the guide and some time to wander around on our own. Our guide Marina communicated very well and gave us clear instructions, in order to have this big group to be on the schedule and getting the best of this trip. The sights were amazing and I got to know Armenia a lot better thanks to our guide.”

Our tour guide Anastasia was very caring, fun, welcoming, very charismatic, I wanted to listen to her more and more. Very knowledgeable guide, you can see that she is passionate about her work”

Spend a long, scenic day from Yerevan with Khor Virap, Noravank, Jermuk waterfall, and Areni wine tasting. Small group and English guide.
“The trip is great, especially the first part - Khor Virap is great, Noravank is magnificent, an absolute must-do! The second part is not so nice, except the waterfall. The Jermuk baths, the wine tasting (not a good wine) and especially the cable, make the trip unnecessarily long and tiresome. Anyway, our guide Anahit was very nice and helpful - thank you very much!”

“The transportation was not complete as claimed: we had to pay the tickets to Tatev monastery ourselves (almost 60$). There had been no wine tasting ecc at all. The driver didn’t know a world of English, nor Russian, which made everything more difficult. Moreover, Viator costume service didn’t even try to refund the tickets or apologize for the poor experience. Unlucky, since the landscapes were amazing.”
