Tour to Khor Virap, Geghard and Garni Temple, Group Guide Tour to Khor Virap, Geghard and Garni Temple, Private Guide

Take a tour of Armenian architecture, visit the mount Ararat plain, spend time in a cave monastery, inspect 'Temple of the Sun'
Being a local, I am fortunate to live in city center. This enables me to access both the center of Yerevan for my walking tours and it is possible to drive to countryside by car which is also full of hidden gems and incredible history. (I have lived in various parts of Armenia for more then 10 years).

An hour drive will bring us to Khor Virap Monastery located in the Ararat plain situated about 100 meters away from the closed Turkish-Armenian border (sealed by barbed wire fencing) and defended by Russian military establishments.
Heading to south east of Armenia our 1st stop is the legendary Monastery of the Spear at Geghard Monastery. This UNESCO World Heritage site was carved into the rock to house one of the most cherished relics of Christianity.
We continue our drive to Garni village and stop in a family restaurant to have our lunch there and try lavash(flatbread made in a tonir).

We visit Garni Temple, a first century A. D. Graeco-Roman pagan temple probably devoted to Mithra. We may hear Armenian visitors give an impromptu choral concert.
