Private Tour to Garni, Geghard and Symphony of Stones

About this tour

The tour to Garni and Geghard is one of our most popular destinations. It lasts around 5 hours, and the sites are located not far from Yerevan.
Our first stop is the Arch of Charents, also known as the Arch of Ararat. This is a unique sightseeing spot from where one can have a breathtaking view of the biblical Mount Ararat.
The second stop is the Garni Pagan Temple. Garni is the only preserved pagan temple in Armenia. It was built in the 1st century AD and later served as a summer residence for the Armenian kings after the country adopted Christianity.
The tour also includes a walk down to “Symphony of Stones” — columnar basalts created by ancient volcanic activity, where you’ll find the Azat River and enjoy the surrounding beauty of the landscape.
Our final stop is the Geghard Monastery, a partly cave-carved monastery dating back to the 13th century. “Geghard” means “spear” — a reference to the spear that pierced the body of Jesus during the crucifixion.
