From Yerevan: Khor Virap, Etchmiadzin, and Zvartnots Tour Private Tour Without Guide

Take the chance to visit Khor Virap Monastery for a spectacular view of Mount Ararat. Visit Etchmiadzin Cathedral, the churches of St. Gayane and St.Hripsime, and see ruins of the 7th-century temple of Zvartnots on this private tour.
Visit Armenia’s oldest and most well-known historical landmark, Mount Ararat. This private half-day tour takes you to the closest spot possible at Khor Virap Monastery for spectacular views of the snow-capped volcano.

Located about an hour’s drive away from Yerevan, the monastery offers an amazing view of the majestic Mount Ararat. Explore Khor Virap and learn about the region’s history as a royal prison. This was the very prison where Gregory the Illuminator, the first Armenian Catholic, was held for 13 years. It’s no surprise that the monastery serves as one of the most sacred spots in Armenia.  

Discover more of Armenia’s sacred spots with a stop at Saint Hripsime Church, built on the sepulcher of the nun Hripsime and one of the oldest churches in the world. A short 5 minute drive away is the 7th-century church of Saint Gayane. From here visit the world’s first Christian Cathedral, the Holy Etchmiadzin. Built in 301-304, legend says that Jesus Christ descended here, where Gregory the Illuminator ordered to build the church.

On the way back to Yerevan, the tour will conclude with a final stop at another beautiful 7th-century temple.
