★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 304 reviews · 7 - 8 hours · from $21Our pick

This 7 to 8-hour outing links Armenia’s best-known sights near Yerevan, from Charents Arch and Garni Temple to Geghard Monastery and the Symphony of Stones. You ride in a comfortable van with a driver, not a formal guide. Some drivers, including Arsen, Zara, Zaruhi, and Samvel, have added useful history and local tips.

“We greatly enjoyed it, the weather was slightly foggy in the morning but all the spots were breathtaking and with majestic views that it made me really love the Armenian highlands! Zaruhi explained the history and cultural points behind places, she was a friendly and genuine guide. Lastly, the view of Ararat from Charents Arch was possibly one of the best views I have seen in my life. I would definitely recommend.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 10 reviews · 5 days (approx.) · from $626 per session (up to 3)

Spend five private days photographing Armenia with a professional driver in an air-conditioned vehicle. Aram arranges the schedule, while driver Arman can provide useful local context and adjust the plan when needed. The route includes Garni, Geghard, Khor Virap, Noravank, Lake Sevan, Amberd, Kari Lake, Yerevan, and wine tasting in Areni.

“Our experience started with Aram's helpful, informative communciation about our schedule, pick-up, and needs. He revised the published schedule to adapt to our timeframe. The schedule itself was well thought out - we had lots of varied types of activites each day. Our driver, Arman, was more of a knowledgeable guide than a driver. He was prompt, informative, personable, flexible, and he took us to additional sites that were not on the list. I cannot imagine how the experience could have been improved. Thank you!”
