Highlights

Arrival: transfer to the hotel

Republic Square - Our Feel Armenia team will greet you at the airport and escort you to your hotel. Since you might be tired, we haven’t scheduled any activities for this day. You’ll have time to rest and prepare for the next day’s adventures.

City tour: History Museum- Yerevan Opera House- Cascade Complex- Victory Park- Megerian Carpet – Ararat Brandy Factory

History Museum of Armenia - Discover the ancient yet modern capital city of Yerevan, the heart and soul of Armenia. Begin your journey with a visit to the History Museum, which offers a comprehensive overview of the city’s rich history. Then, take a stroll through the city center and along Northern Avenue to reach the Yerevan Opera House.

ARARAT Museum - Next, explore the stunning Cascade Complex, with its beautiful stairways offering unique views of the city. After lunch, enjoy a walk in Victory Park, where you can take in the breathtaking scenery of Mt. Ararat and the pink city nestled at its base. You’ll experience all possible views of Ararat. Finally, admire the exquisite carpets at Megerian Carpet and taste the unique Armenian brandy at the Ararat Brandy Factory.

Yerevan-Sevan- Sevanavank-Tsaghkadzor-Garni-Geghard-Yerevan

Monastery Sevanavank - Begin your day with the serene sounds of Lake Sevan. Climb up to Sevanavank and take in the stunning combination of lake and landscape. Imagine standing atop a high peninsula with the lake spread out below you.

Kecharis Monastery - Next, head to Tsaghkadzor, the valley of flowers. Enjoy unforgettable moments at Kecharis Monastery and the ropeway that traverses the beautiful nature. But the adventure doesn’t end here; we’re heading to even more magnificent sights.

Garni Temple - Visit Garni and Geghard, where two religions coexist. Garni is the only remaining pagan temple in Armenia, situated next to the foundations of a church, with the breathtaking mountains and Garni Canyon as a backdrop.

The Monastery of Geghard - From Garni, continue to the Geghard Monastery, an incredible 13th-century structure hidden in the mountains along the Azat River. After this visit, you’ll find that words can’t fully capture the beauty of this place.

Yerevan-Khor Virap- Etchmiadzin-Zvartnots-Yerevan

Khor Virap - In the world’s first Christian country, each monastery is unique and magnificent. Begin your journey at Khor Virap, where Grigor the Illuminator was imprisoned for his faith. Enjoy the view of the monastery and the biblical Mt. Ararat, and learn about the origins of Christianity. By the way, Khor Virap means ‘deep dungeon.’ Do you know why?

Alex and Marie Manoogian Treasury House Museum - Next, visit the spiritual city of Echmiadzin, where you can connect with the roots of Christianity. See the world’s first monastery and explore the museum housing valuable artifacts, including the Holy Lance that pierced Christ’s side and relics of Noah’s Ark.

Zvartnots Temple - Not far from Echmiadzin, you’ll find the ruins of Zvartnots Temple, a masterpiece that remains beautiful and harmonious with its surroundings despite its ruined state. Zvartnots stands before you with Mt. Ararat in the background.

Departure: transfer to the hotel

Need to visit Armenia again after this wonderful experience! - Myself and some colleagues spent five days in Armenia and received wonderful guidance and tours from Tatev with the help of Lida. I would highly recommend their tour company as everything went as planned and they made sure that we had all we needed to enjoy our trip and also to have fruitful business meetings. Thanks again for everything and we hope to visit again.
