★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,162 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) · from $59

Join an English-speaking guide such as Anna, Metro, Luca, or Tota for an 11-hour trip from Tbilisi into northern Armenia. Visit Akhtala, Haghpat, and Sanahin monasteries, stop at Debed Canyon and the Mikoyan Brothers’ Museum, and enjoy a generous homemade Armenian lunch with a local family.

“The day trip to Armenia was arduous and uncomfortable. The van used was old and small, making the long day even longer. We spent as much time getting through the border and on and off the cramped van as we did at the sights. The lunch provided was very good and although the sights we saw were interesting, they were all monasteries. Anna did a good job explaining the history, but the things we saw were not varied enough to be interesting. I would not recommend this trip to others.”

“Although the guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, unfortunately this wine tour was a disaster. It was badly managed and completely off schedule. The operators sent the team to the wrong hotel so they arrived almost an hour late. The car was not comfortable for three adults, the air conditioning barely worked making the car feel like an oven, and the driving was dangerous and wreck-less. Initially lunch was scheduled for 4pm, which is neither lunch nor dinner. We had to cut the wineries down to one instead of three, in order to make it back to our hotel at a decent time, and the driver got very lost on…”
