Although there are various historical landmarks in Armenia, the oldest and most well-known is probably the Biblical Mount Ararat. This is why our tour promises a spectacular view from the closest spot possible.
The Khor Virap monastery is located about an hour’s drive away from the capital Yerevan, and offers an amazing view of Armenia’s defining symbol – the majestic Ararat. “Khor Virap” translates as “deep dungeon”, and was built of the place of the former royal prison, located on the historical site of Artashat. It was this very prison in which they kept Gregory the Illuminator, the first Armenian Catholicos, for a whole 13 years. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that this place is one of the most sacred spots for Armenians around the world. Likewise, it’s also the closest point to the Mount Ararat from Armenia; very often this spot becomes the number 1 reason to visit our country!
A place that can’t be missed whilst in Armenia is Tatev Monastery, which once was the educational and spiritual center of Armenia. It’s built on a high plateau in the Vorotan river gorge, and is surrounded by breathtaking mountains and dense forests. You can reach here riding the world’s longest cableway Wings of Tatev. During your ride, you will enjoy a spectacular view over one of the most beautiful spots in Armenia (if not in the world).
What concerns the “finishing touch” to this tour, you will be given a chance to taste and even purchase Armenia’s renowned Areni wine. Made from the oldest grape variety in the whole world, the wine is available in several wineries in the actual town of Areni itself, which we will make a stop at before finishing the trip.

Yerani Travel were very supportive in organizing this trip to Tatev Monastery despite the low season. We had a great skilful driver, a very comfy vehicle and above all a knowledgeable, lovely and fun tour guide (Diana).
It was a wonderful day trip to beautiful destinations of Armenia.
Thank you for making it happen in a perfect way!

We did a full day private tour to Khor Virap , Noravank , Tatev Cable car and the winery . Our driver Morat and our guide Anna arrived on time and took us to a journey which turned out to be really memorable and enjoyable! Anna was one of the most informative guides that we have come across with excellent command on English . What was good was that she enjoyed her job and made sure that tourists got the best picture of Armenia ! Infact the information she gave us also helped us the next day while on our tour to Gharni . We had an excellent lunch with free Vodka courtesy our hosts ! All in all would highly recommend Yerani travels and Anna ( she is simply superb !!!)
