Top Yerevan Day Trips

We had a wonderful day tour in Armenia visiting all the beautiful and interesting places. Our tour guide, Hasmik, was incredibly kind, friendly, and hospitable. She made everyone feel welcome and shared the history in a clear and enjoyable way. Overall, it was a great experience.

I went on this group tour on the 30th of November 2025. It was a wonderful experience and absolutely worth the money paid. Operator: The tour operator - Yerani Travel was clear and prompt with their communication about the tour and pickup location. The pickup point was a central location very easy to navigate to. It was a group tour in a shared mini-van which had comfortable seating and a nice driver. Activity: All the stops were amazing. we stopped at Khor Virap Monastery, Noravank Monastery, Areni Cave, and also went on an elaborate wine tasting with proper details and explanations. The activities were exactly as given in the tour description. We also had lunch at a beautiful restaurant, but I personally felt the food wasn't that great for the price we paid and the menu was fixed to 4 types of meals. However the the arrangements were systematic and smooth. Our guide distributed the menu right after our first stop, and we placed our food orders well in advance. So the lunch arrangements were smooth with no confusions or delays. Now, the main highlight of the tour was our guide Nare. This tour wouldn't have been 100% great without her. She was AMAZING. She organised and managed everything smoothly and efficiently. She gave details explanations about everything and carefully answered all our questions and queries and confusions. She also told us a lot of stories, historical details, facts and figures. Her story telling skill is exceptional. You would feel the stories and historical facts in your head and heart. He management style is amazing. Not even a single trouble or problem anywhere in the tour. We didn't even notice the long drive or tiredness as all of us were engaged with her story telling and narrations. She is a real asset to the company. I would 101% recommend this tour to any body anyday. Thank you Yerani Travel.

The Yerevan Private Walking Food Tour with Anna was an absolute delight! Anna’s deep knowledge of Armenian history seamlessly wove into every bite, as she introduced us to incredible local dishes, sharing their origins and stories with genuine passion. She’s a fantastic ambassador for Yerevan and Armenia, warm, engaging, and proud of her heritage. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic flavors and culture!

It was a long day — about 14 hours from 8:30 AM to 11:00 PM — but absolutely worth it! The visit to Tatev Monastery was the highlight of the tour. The one-way cable car ride, the stunning mountain scenery, and the breathtaking views made it a truly memorable experience. The view of Mount Ararat from Khor Virap was also spectacular. Lunch at the farmhouse had a lovely atmosphere, though the vegetarian options were quite limited (mostly just boiled vegetables). We experienced a minor setback on our way back to Yerevan when the bus broke down around 9 PM, about two hours from the city. However, our guide Marina handled the situation exceptionally well — she arranged for us to stop at a charming wine-tasting venue while waiting for the replacement bus and efficiently coordinated alternative arrangements for those with late-night or early-morning flights. Despite the long day, it was a wonderful and well-organized tour with incredible sights and experiences. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Yerevan!

Our guide, Samvel, and our driver Hayk provided an excellent experience. Samvel is very knowledgeable and is also very communicative and a great teacher of Armenian history and events that shaped the country. Hayk provided safe and excellent driving in a traffic environment that sometimes can be experienced as challenging.

Our group of 15 or so people packed so much into six hours, across Garni, Gegherd and the Symphony of Stones. Our our guide was very friendly and knowledgable too. To be honest, everything was really well organised from the moment I arrived at their office in downtown Yerevan (which was really easy to find). Booking said there was no lunch, but there was plenty of Lavash bread, Armenian cheese and herbs to go around. Thanks very much!

The tour was overall enjoyable and well-organized. We appreciated the cold complimentary water and the excellent AC in the car, which made the ride comfortable. Our guide, Anna, was very friendly and spoke good English. The food offered during the tour was both tasty and reasonably priced. However, the time distribution at the stops felt a bit uneven - some places were rushed while others dragged on. Our driver, Armen, drove a bit aggressively at times.

Since our time in Yerevan was short, it was difficult to travel far on our own. We also didn’t know much about Armenia, so we decided to join a guided tour. Our guide was Sam and our driver was Kharen. During the drive to our destination, we asked a lot of questions out of curiosity, and Sam kindly and thoroughly explained everything to us. At each site we visited, he also provided clear and engaging explanations that helped us better understand the places we were seeing. Thanks to both of them, we had a short but very comfortable and enjoyable tour. We truly appreciated their hospitality and would gladly recommend this experience to others!
