Highlights
- Hayravank Monastery - Hayravank is a 9th to 12th-century Armenian monastery located just northeast of the village of Hayravank along the southwest shores of Lake Sevan in the Gegharkunik Province of Armenia. The monastic complex consists of a church, chapel, and gavit.

- Vardenyats Pass (Selim Pass) - Many think of the Silk Road as a single trail but in fact, there were dozens of routes connecting East and West, most by land, some by sea. They crossed east to west and north and south, the most popular tracing river valleys and lakeshores as they wound their way to their final destinations. You can trace the Silk Road in Armenia by following its caravanserai, or inns; medieval stopping points where caravan riders and their pack animals spent the night. The Selim Pass Caravanserai is a valuable example of these inns along the Armenian Silk Road.
- Yeghegnadzor - Its a time to Lunch break at Lchak Restaurant and enjoy the Armenian local food.

Jermuk Waterfall is of 70 meters height and it is considered the second highest waterfall in Armenia.
- Areni - “Vayots Dzor and Areni, in particular, has been the cradle of Armenian winemaking for millennia. It is time we open up the doors of this region to the world and showcase the historic and indigenous Armenian grape varietals. At the winery we strive to ensure that Areni grape is given the chance to show its beauty and that Armenian winemaking can duly pride itself with quality.

Amazing Armenia 🤩🤩 - The tour of Jermuk was truly stunning, with its incredible natural beauty that was a feast for the eyes 😍🤩🤩.The monastery and kachkars were truly impressive and our guide did an excellent job of sharing the history and culture of Armenia with us in an informative and interesting way.
After getting to know Jermuk, at the end of the program we also had the opportunity to visit a winery, where we were warmly greeted by a friendly family who shared their winemaking traditions with us. I couldn't resist purchasing their delicious wine and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique souvenir.😇😇
Special thanks to the administrators and organizer Yerani Travel, 👏👏who promptly and efficiently provided us with all the necessary information; they are truly professionals in their field, without their help our experience would not have been the same.⭐

Great Tour - I booked a tour with Yerani Tours going to the beautiful town of Jermuk. The tour was very interesting and the ride was comfortable. I can’t say enough about the guide, Hasmik. She was fun, energetic, and very knowledgeable. She impressed me a lot. I already miss listening to her tour. Also, our driver, Vahan, expertly navigated some roads which I never could have driven on. I highly recommend Yerani Tour if you are visiting Armenia.

Small group tours are the best - The tour was very complete! There were so many "little surprises" along the journey and that's what I liked the most! Our tour guide, Anastasia was very cheerful and lively! I loved the fact that she let us decide how much time we wanted to stay in a certain place because not all tours allow you to manage your time when you're in a group! But we were a small one, so it was really easy to have more freedom! While Sargis, our driver, sometimes had to drive in dirt roads, but he handled it very well!
I recommend this tour!! :))

a lovely day out - The tour I went on included Lake Sevan, a caranvanserai and the sights of Jermuk (waterfalls and town) and then a winery visit.
All the spots were beautiful and I'm glad I went. Amount of time at each spot was good and I enjoyed the sites. I'm not a big group tour person but the size of this one was manageable.
Honestly, I took the tour since it was the last day of my vacation and I wanted something easy after a busy two weeks. I booked last minute but you're going with others, book ahead. Meeting location was central and handy.
FYI that almost the entire tour group spoke Russian so if you only speak English, it might feel odd. The guide spoke well in both languages which I appreciated. She was nice and happy to answer questions.
The vegetarian options for lunch were not great, so I skipped that. Instead I sat on the lawn of the lunch spot and that was fine. If you're going to do that, bring food since there is nothing near the lunch stop.
