Must do trip
We spent 4 days with Irakli combining two of his trips into one. Started with him, picking us up from the airport, going through amazing stops in Armenia and, several days later, dropping us off in Tbilisi . Irakli is very knowledgeable about the culture, the country, the history. He is also flexible and provides a few options where feasible. We were traveling with our 18 and 19 y.o. boys and they both loved the trip and interacting with Irakli.

Mystic Armenia
We thoroughly enjoyed our day trip to Armenia. Thanks to our very knowledgeable guide Irakli, we had a wonderful experience of the mystic region. The scenic country along with it’s treasured history, the esoteric monasteries and a great taste of the Armenian culture made it a delightful experience.

Amazing Armenian tour - highly recommended !
We did a 3-day guided tour from Tblisi to Yerevan and back with Irakli. He fetched us (my husband,myself and our friend) on time in his Lexus SUV and we started the journey to Yerevan. Once across the border our action packed tour started. Each day we saw beautiful mountain scenery, stunning ancient monasteries and lots of beautiful art and soaked up lots of history, based on Irakli’s recommendations. We enjoyed experiencing Armenian cuisine based on the restaurants recommended by Irakli. On the way back we visited Lake Sevan and we skirted along the Azerbaijan border! With Irakli’s amazing driving skills we managed to navigate a dreadful storm with high winds and fallen trees, across main roads, after crossing the border ! Irakli returned us safely back to Tblisi. We can really recommend Irakli as a skilled and knowledgable tour guide.

Day Trip to Armenia
My husband & I took a trip to Armenia with Irakli, an amazing tour guide. The entire experience was wonderful & a breeze. We saw some breathtaking views of Lake Sevan from the Sevanavank monastery atop the hill & Haghpat was such a highlight for us. Odzun monastery was absolutely gorgeous. We had the best time exploring Armenia for a day. Definitely recommend it to everyone!!

Wonderful One Day trip to Armenia
Irakli is such an experienced and knowledgeable guide. We chose to see Lake Sevan, Odzun Monastry, Sanahin Town and Haghpat monastry, all in one day. He took for meals and explained us everything about the country’s history. He’s a good photographer as well 😁

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Armenian Treasures: Tbilisi to Lake Sevan & Haghpat: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tbilisi.
How much does Armenian Treasures: Tbilisi to Lake Sevan & Haghpat cost?
+
Prices start at $160 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tbilisi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Armenian Treasures: Tbilisi to Lake Sevan & Haghpat take?
+
Plan for about 11 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tbilisi is not rushed.
Is Armenian Treasures: Tbilisi to Lake Sevan & Haghpat worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tbilisi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Armenian Treasures: Tbilisi to Lake Sevan & Haghpat?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Armenian Treasures: Tbilisi to Lake Sevan & Haghpat suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Armenian Treasures: Tbilisi to Lake Sevan & Haghpat?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tbilisi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tbilisi and add a light layer if any part of the 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Armenian Treasures: Tbilisi to Lake Sevan & Haghpat start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tbilisi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tbilisi?
+
On Outty we rank every Tbilisi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tbilisi:Evening Walking & Talking Tour with Wine & Boat Ride, Kakheti Wine Region Tour + 10 Premium Wine Tastings & Sunset, Tbilisi:Mtskheta,Jvari,Bazaar,wine tasting,Chronicles of Georgia. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tbilisi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tbilisi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
