    2. The Monastery of Geghard

      Geghard is a medieval monastery in the Kotayk province of Armenia, being partially carved out of the adjacent mountain, surrounded by cliffs. It is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site with enhanced protection status. While the main chapel was built in 1215, the monastery complex was founded in the 4th century by Gregory the Illuminator at the site of a sacred spring inside a cave. The monastery had thus been originally named Ayrivank, meaning "the Monastery of the Cave". The name commonly used for the monastery today, Geghard, or more fully Geghardavank, meaning "the Monastery of the Spear", originates from the spear which had wounded Jesus at the Crucifixion, allegedly brought to Armenia by Apostle Jude, called here Thaddeus, and stored amongst many other relics. Now it is displayed in the Echmiadzin treasury.

    3. Khor Virap

      The Khor Virap ( meaning "deep dungeon" is an Armenian monastery located in the Ararat plain in Armenia, near the closed border with Turkey. The monastery was host to a theological seminary and was the residence of Armenian Catholicos. Khor Virap's notability as a monastery and pilgrimage site is attributed to the fact that Gregory the Illuminator was initially imprisoned here for about 14 years by King Tiridates III of Armenia. Saint Gregory subsequently became the king's religious mentor, and they led the proselytizing activity in the country. In the year 301, Armenia was the first country in the world to be declared a Christian nation. A chapel was initially built in 642 at the site of Khor Virap by Nerses III the Builder as a mark of veneration to Saint Gregory.

    Levan was great!

    We had a great time exploring Armenia with Levan. We had a mixed group and language wise Levan was perfect for us as he spoke very good English and Russian. In addition he guided us to all the places and provided a brief history for every stop. The minivan we had was comfortable, in good condition and had wifi.

    Great tour 👍

    A great day tour with Livon, and gave very informative info about Armenian culture and history. A must-do tour if you are looking for a private tour

    Great Trip

    Levon is a fantastic driver: thoughtful, kind and not overbearing (although he'll happily answer any questions you have). I especially enjoyed having time to myself to discover each site. The trip was fabulous.

    Armenia trip

    Extremely satisfying trip for my family. A well organized program in total. Levon was exceptional and attentive. He has taken us to the most wonderful locations particularly to Jervan. Every moment of the trip was thoughtfully organized by him. Thank you very much.

    NOT the guided tour we expected

    We enjoyed each stop on our tour, but we were disappointed that our driver was a driver only. We expected to have someone explain some of the details related to each stop, but our driver spoke no English. I believe we could have paid less for a driver only.

    Khor Virap, Garni, Geghard,Azat Reservoir Highlights:Private tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Yerevan.

    How much does Khor Virap, Garni, Geghard,Azat Reservoir Highlights:Private tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $100 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Yerevan usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Khor Virap, Garni, Geghard,Azat Reservoir Highlights:Private tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 Yerevan is not rushed.

    Is Khor Virap, Garni, Geghard,Azat Reservoir Highlights:Private tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Yerevan, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Khor Virap, Garni, Geghard,Azat Reservoir Highlights:Private tour?

    +

    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 Khor Virap, Garni, Geghard,Azat Reservoir Highlights:Private tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Khor Virap, Garni, Geghard,Azat Reservoir Highlights:Private tour?

    +

    Around 4 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 Yerevan 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 Yerevan and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Khor Virap, Garni, Geghard,Azat Reservoir Highlights:Private tour 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 Yerevan 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 Yerevan?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Yerevan experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Group Tour: Lake Sevan (Sevanavank), Dilijan (Goshavank, Haghartsin), Group Tour: Khor Virap, Garni temple, Geghard, Lavash baking, Group Tour: Garni pagan temple, Geghard monastery, Lake Sevan, Sevanavank. 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 Yerevan?

    +

    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 Yerevan?

    +

    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.
