Tour Introduction:

Armenia is situated between Western Asia and Eastern Europe. This little-visited nation has a great heritage and a fascinating past, despite being frequently overlooked. Armenia became the world's first Christian nation in 301 A.D., when it adopted Christianity as its state religion. Prior to their conversion Armenians were pagan and worshiped a variety of idols. Garni Temple is one of the period's most distinctive landmarks and a must-see for travelers. The architecture, culture, and customs of the capital of Yerevan are a beautiful blend of the old and the new. When strolling through Yerevan, you will discover both newly erected buildings with modern architectural style and 19th-century structures with exquisite decorations. You will visit the Khor Virap and Noravank monasteries, as well as the cave settlement of Khondzoresk and the Tatev Monastery via the world's longest cable car ride. Join us on this fascinating journey of discovery and adventure to explore ancient monasteries, delectable cuisine, and unique UNESCO sites.
