See Armenia’s top photo spots in 7 to 8 hours, from Garni Temple and the basalt columns of the Symphony of Stones to Geghard and Mount Ararat viewpoints. Expect comfortable transport and a driver rather than a dedicated guide. Drivers such as Arsen, Zaruhi, and Samvel have been praised for extra help.

“We greatly enjoyed it, the weather was slightly foggy in the morning but all the spots were breathtaking and with majestic views that it made me really love the Armenian highlands! Zaruhi explained the history and cultural points behind places, she was a friendly and genuine guide. Lastly, the view of Ararat from Charents Arch was possibly one of the best views I have seen in my life. I would definitely recommend.”

“Booked though Viator, I had a private tour with Raffi (guide) and Avet (driver) from Hyur Service in Armenia. It was a very full day trip to 3 monasteries/church complexes of Khor Virap, Noravank and Tatev monastery and ropeway, plus a lot of wonderful scenery along the way. Raffi was incredibly knowledgeable, extremely engaging, and professional - a top-notch tour guide mixing the right amount of knowledge, topics, and free time to take pictures. It was a fantastic experience, and I could not recommend Raffi, Avet and Hyur more.”
