Garni Temple
During this excursion, we'll explore Garni, Geghard, and the Azat River Valley, home to numerous historical and natural landmarks. Our journey begins with a visit to Geghardavank, a renowned 13th-century monastery, followed by Garni village, which boasts a variety of well-known and lesser-known sites. A brief hiking excursion will lead us to the iconic Garni pagan temple and the Symphony of Stones. We'll also pause near the Arch of Charents, offering a breathtaking vista of Mount Ararat.
The Monastery of Geghard
The Geghard Monastery, situated in the Kotayk province, is a medieval marvel partially carved into the adjacent mountain and encircled by cliffs. Its commonly used name, Geghard or Geghardavank, meaning "the Monastery of the Spear," stems from the spear that wounded Jesus during the Crucifixion. According to belief, Apostle Jude, also known as Thaddeus in Armenia, brought the spear to the region, where it was safeguarded among various relics, now exhibited in the Echmiadzin treasury. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the monastery complex enjoys enhanced protection status.

Horrible management at this tour company no accountability
Rich J,22 thg 5, 2026

1.00This is one of the worst tour companies I’ve ever traveled. I’m referring strictly to customer service and management (the tour guide and the tour itself was decent). I arrived about 20 minutes early to the meetup location and the bus was nowhere to be seen. Upon reaching out to the tour company on WhatsApp, they said that they messaged me last night about a change in the pickup location. However, I didn’t get any messages (I proved this to them step by step through logic of deduction). They kept insisting that I’m mistaken, and said I should take a taxi to the right place. I asked for compensation as it’s 100% their fault I’m in this situation, and they refused. No accountability. Upon arrival to the new pickup location, other guests confirmed they got an email for the location change at around 1am in the morning, a joke to begin with (many guests did not see this email as expected and didn’t show up at the new pickup location). To make clear, I check my emails religiously and did not have an email either way. After running through the guest list, it was discovered that I wasn’t even on the list. A master class on incompetence on display from this tour company. I reported this back to customer service on WhatsApp and instead of addressing this or offering an apology or compensation, they simply decided to ghost me with no further messages. Avoid this tour company like the plague.
Nice overall

4.00Good experience overall. Good price. Length of visit is good but most stops are very rushed and you don't really have much time to explore anything. Atmosphere was fine. Crowd size good. Staff friendly and helpful. Lunch was horrible. Spending one week in Armenia, it was the only bad meal I experienced. Better to take a sandwich from the supermarket.

A Roman pearl among the mountains of Armenia

5.00I was fortunate to visit the Temple of Garni on a beautiful day starting from Yerevan, and it was truly a remarkable stop. The temple, the only example of Hellenistic-Roman architecture remaining in Armenia, is located in a beautiful panoramic position, surrounded by mountains and natural gorges that make the atmosphere even more special. The archaeological site is not very large, so it can be visited comfortably in about half an hour, but it is absolutely worth a stop both for its historical value and for the landscape that surrounds it. It is especially recommended on sunny days when the colors of the stone and the scenery make the place even more enchanting.
fun experience and worth booking

Beautiful piece of country and a wonderful guide, Ana

5.00Was an amazing trip lead by our guide, Ana. She was absolutely great, explaining and taking care of us all the time. The places visited were very interesting, bit crowded though and is better to come prepared with some cash as will save you time. Ana took us to a restaurant in Garni for lunch where the food was homemade exactly like I was expecting. When we arrive back to Yerevan, Ana was helping us to get a taxi to drive us to the hotel. Cannot praise enough such kind soul and experienced guide who was teaching us not only about the places visited but the history of Armenia as well.

5.00Private driver, no guide. Driver didn't speak much English but translator app worked fine. Great time. Enjoyed the baking lavash demonstration and trying the cheese and greens. Very good. Leaving at 10 am we seemed to arrive destinations ahead of other tour groups. Driver made trip unforgettable. Will definitely try more trips like this in future.
