The 15 Best Khor Virap Tours

78 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.9 average  ·  from $24

Khor Virap is a small monastery on a hill in the vineyards, and behind it is the whole of Mount Ararat. The mountain is the reason to go and the haze is the risk, so the morning departures matter. These 15 cover the quick run out and back, the long southern loop through Noravank and Areni, and the private cars.

“The group tour was exceptionally well organized, offering a seamless and enjoyable experience from start to finish. The true highlight was our outstanding guide, Nektar. Her enthusiasm, deep knowledge, and attentive care for each participant transformed the day into something truly memorable. With her engaging storytelling and subtle humor, she created a warm and friendly atmosphere that allowed us to connect effortlessly with our fellow travelers. The lunch and wine tasting at Areni were superb, adding a delightful local touch to the experience. This tour comes with my highest recommendation, and special thanks to Nektar for making it one of the best we’ve ever had. Five stars all the way!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 93 reviews · 12 hours · from $40

One-day Armenia tour from Yerevan to Khor Virap, Noravank, Jermuk waterfall, Arch of Dreams, and Areni wine tasting.

“I guess it very much depends on a guide. But if you'll get Hasmik it will be a great experience. She was thoughtful even during breaks and stuff. Her both English and Russian was superb. She delivered during transports and even talked to us during visits and giving expert tours. Not only she learned the stuff but also she knew answers to about everything. But. Be aware it is an exhausting trip. With a lot of time in transfers. So think twice if you're not interested in the programme. But you'll also have enough time on the stops.”
