The 15 Best Tatev Monastery & Ropeway Tours

31 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.9 average  ·  from $35

Tatev is a four-hour drive from Yerevan and then a cable car across a gorge, which is why it eats a whole day. These 15 say plainly how long the driving is, whether the ropeway runs both ways, and what else — Khndzoresk, Shaki, an Areni tasting — is folded in.

“A beautiful day in Tatev! Our guide Anastasia, was kind and super friendly. We arrived at the departure point of the cable car to the Tatev monastery. After crossing the gorge we visited the monastery and ate in a local restaurant (very good food and beer and generous portions) on the way back we stopped at the Shaki waterfalls and in a winery in Areni. All through fantastic landscapes. Excellent organization and kindnesses such as free water and a typical dessert offered. I recommend”

Stunning views of Armenian countryside, mountains, monasteries with a culminating ride on a cable car through an exquisite mountain gorge. Hamas (guide) and Artur (driver) were a wonderful team on this journey through Armenia. Hamas is intelligent, articulate, and gracious. A "MUST" tour when you visit Armenia.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 16 reviews · 13 to 14 hours (approx.) · from $185

Private Armenia day trip from Yerevan to Khor Virap, Areni wine, Noravank, and Tatev, with the Wings of Tatev cable car.

“This was an amazing day tour and I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to travel around Armenia in a private tour. We arrived in Khor Virap and Noravank before any buses so we had both places to ourselves. Tatev requires a few more hours of driving but is 100% worth it, especially to see more parts of the country. Sergey spoke great English and shared his knowledge of Armenia and the sites with us, along with being a safe driver on the mountain roads. Don't hesitate to book this activity! Thanks Sergey!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 15 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $221

Private 12-hour Armenia tour linking Khor Virap, Areni wine tasting, Noravank, and Tatev by the Wings of Tatev cable car.

“It was an amazing tour. Comfortable car, an exceptionally amazing guide who took us to all the places in the package and breathtaking views. This private tour was all we wanted and expected from our trip to Armenia. Especially the journey, snow covered mountains, snow steams and cold winds made it much more memorable. Gor was our driver-cum- guide and he is a gem of a person. We talked all through our journey of 12-13 hours knowing about all what this tour and Armenia has to offer. Wings of Tatev is a real, once in a lifetime experience, more magical in winters with snow all around you. Would recommend Gor…”
