The tour takes visitors on a journey through the most exciting and culturally significant places in Armenia. The tour begins with a visit to the ancient Temple of Garni, a stunning Hellenistic temple dedicated to the sun god Myra. Built in the 1st century AD, this temple is the only surviving Greco-Roman temple in Armenia. It offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains. Visitors will then explore the Geghard Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site carved into the mountainside. This monastery is known for its unique architecture: many of its chambers and chapels are carved directly into the rock. The next stop is the “Symphony of Stones”, a natural rock formation in the Garni gorge, which looks like a large organ. The tour ends with a master class on baking traditional Armenian lavash, included in the UNESCO list of intangible cultural heritage. This tour offers a unique combination of history, natural wonders, and cultural experiences that showcase the rich heritage of Armenia.

Lavash has been consumed by all classes of Armenian society for centuries; it is valued for its unique taste and ability to be stored for quite a long period of time without losing its positive qualities. In 2014, “The Preparation, Meaning and Appearance of Traditional Bread Lavash as an Expression of Armenian Culture” was inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. During this master class, you will get to know and learn the thousand-year-old technique of making lavash and, of course, try home-baked lavash with fresh herbs and delicious local cheese.

The tour was well organised with a friendly and safe driver Marat and wonderful guide Hazmin who spoke both Russian and English. We saw some beautiful places: Garni Pagan church, Geghard monastery, symphony of stones and Charent’s arch. We also watched two ladies make lavash bread and had a tasty lunch. Lots of fun and nice people on the tour. About 18 people so not too many. We had all weather from sun to rain, sleet and snow and the driver did a great job driving us around. Would recommend this tour to see some nice sights not too far out of Yerevan

Great tour with a knowledge guide Hasmik. It’s worth paying for the lunch as well. The only negative I can add is that the locations are so beautiful, you could easily spend 2x time there.
