From Khor Virap to Noravank: A Day in Southern Armenia
Arakel was a fantastic driver — punctual, friendly, professional, and very helpful throughout the day. The car was clean and comfortable, and he drove very safely. We had a very smooth and enjoyable trip and would definitely recommend him.
Amazing tour
This was my second excursion with this company, and once again, I have nothing but compliments for the excellent organization! I highly recommend this excursion – you will experience some truly unforgettable natural beauty! You will travel through some of the most fertile regions of Armenia, taste wonderful local wine, and feast your eyes on the incredible landscapes of the country. We were also lucky enough to have Mount Ararat welcome us in a good mood, with perfect visibility – the view was absolutely breathtaking! Nina, our guide, was extremely punctual and made the tour very interesting and engaging with her stories and explanations. She was also incredibly patient and always smiling, despite the fact that our group was large and bilingual. Spartak, our driver, once again provided us with a very comfortable and smooth journey. A big thank you to both of them for making this such a wonderful and memorable day!
Exceptional Armenian landscape and history… Wonderful Tour
Anush our tour guide was very informative and knowledgeable on the history of Armenia. We were very comfortable with the ride driven by Norik. Friendly welcoming, making this tour a must!
An Unforgettable Journey to Khor Virap & Noravank – Outstanding Experience!
We had an incredible tour on September 5, 2026! Exploring Khor Virap with the stunning view of Mount Ararat, the breathtaking red canyon surrounding Noravank Monastery, the fascinating Birds’ Cave, and the wine tasting at Hin Areni Winery made it a truly memorable day. A special thanks to our wonderful driver, Arakel, who was exceptionally kind, helpful, and always greeted us with a warm smile. His driving was smooth and professional. Highly recommended!
Southern Armenia - History and wine
This tour perfectly matched our expectations especially because of our driver Dawid and our guide Anna. It was a full day excursion ending with wine tour and food. Anna was very knowledgeable about the region’s history and it was very easy to converse with her.
