Discover The Ancient Monasteries And Traditional Armenian Cuisine On A Cultural Day Tour


Explore the rich historical and religious heritage of Armenia on this guided tour of three significant monasteries. The journey includes visits to the Hagpati and Sanahin monasteries, both of which are architectural marvels that reflect the country's deep-rooted Christian traditions. These sites are closely connected by history and geography, located just 40 minutes apart. Legend suggests they were built by a father and son, with Sanahin, meaning 'he is older than others,' representing the elder of the two structures.


In addition to the Hagpati and Sanahin sites, you will visit the ancient monastery of Akhtala, which is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Known for its stunning frescoes and historical significance, Akhtala offers a glimpse into the artistic achievements of medieval Armenia. The tour provides ample time to wander through these stone complexes, allowing you to appreciate the intricate carvings and the peaceful atmosphere that has been preserved within these sacred walls for centuries.


Beyond the historical sites, this tour offers a unique opportunity to experience traditional Armenian hospitality. You will be hosted by a local family for a traditional dinner, providing a firsthand look at the country's culinary customs. This intimate dining experience allows you to taste authentic dishes prepared with local ingredients, offering a deeper connection to the culture than a standard restaurant visit. It is a chance to engage with the people who keep these ancient traditions alive today.


This day trip is designed for travelers who are interested in the intersection of history, religion, and local culture. By combining visits to world-class historical monuments with a personal dining experience, the tour provides a well-rounded perspective on Armenia's identity. You will return from the trip with a greater understanding of the country's past and a warm memory of the hospitality that defines the Armenian spirit, making it an essential experience for any visitor to the region.

Top notch tour guides giving tours with a touch of magic! We booked several tours with Nour and Mariam as our friends were visiting us from the USA. They speak perfect English and one can tell these guides are definitely the best in class in Armenia! There were lots of jokes, fun stories and adventures each day. The van was modern and super comfy so we could even sleep during long rides. Nour is such a quiet and careful driver so we felt safe and relaxed all the time. We had lunch in local 's homes in some remote villages arranged by our fantastic guides. We had so much fun riding a zip-line in the mountains, hiking to waterfalls in pure wilderness areas. Those 2 days of touring were simply the most memorable travel experiences we have ever had. Highly recommended! Don't look any further and book your tours with them.
