“Great tour, Arpi was a very good tour guide, extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Spartacus was a very good and helpful driver. Noravank in particular was a highlight, good lunch. Would definitely recommend. Note: not really a small group tour as we were in a bus, but this was actually more comfortable than a minivan.”

4.Garni, Geghard, Symphony of Stones & Lavash Baking

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 589 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $23Best value

Explore Garni, Geghard, Mount Ararat, Azat Canyon and Armenian lavash baking on a well-priced half-day tour from Yerevan.

“The sites were great but there was a lack of control over the group. We had English and Armenian groups combined and I dont think it worked for the verrry full tour. There was little knowledge sharing particularly about the symphony of stones, and the lavash masterclass was just watching some ladies make the bread without commentary for maybe 5 minutes and then trying some. A little disappointing that I didnt come away with more information but for the price, you get some great sites!”

Soar over Armenia’s mountains and reservoirs on a tandem paragliding flight from Yerevan, with transport, insurance, and GoPro video included.

“The best part was flying over 3000ft over Azat Reservoir overlooking the mountain range. There was some heart pounding moments, lots of happy screaming and laughing. I really appreciate the team at Sky Club. Artyom and Hamo were great. Pick up from central location was on time. Download GG app or Yandex to get to the meeting point. It's also great app to use in Armenia since Uber/Lyft not available.”

Visit Khor Virap, Garni, Geghard, and a lavash bakery on an affordable full-day tour from Yerevan with Wi-Fi and a guide.

“Nice day tour to see some of the most important land marks of Armenia. Because it being a off season the tour was bilingual. The guide Tigran handled it very well. He was a great tour guide overall. Driver Araik was also one of the safest drivers in Armenia I had during my visit which was great. Lavash baking is in a family run restaurant where you also have lunch together (paid by you) so suggest you order one of the options in the bus as there are no other lunch options close by. Lunch was nice family style served so recommend it. Sadly when I was on the tour…”
