Armenia · TATEV TOURS
Two hundred and fifty kilometres south of Yerevan, reached by the longest reversible cable car in the world. These 15 trips are long days by definition, so the differences that matter are the departure time, the lunch stop and whether Khndzoresk or Shaki waterfall is included.

Review of a 13 to 14 hour Armenia tour to Tatev, Shaki Waterfall, Wings of Tatev, and Hin Areni Winery for $73.
“I was looking forward to this trip so much, after seeing especially the photos of tatev monastery from a nearby viewpoint. The trip there was extremely long (we expected that) and we made a few stops along the way (winery and waterfall - nice, but nothing special - might be because we have amazing wine and waterfalls in our country already). But the big disappointment was that they dropped us off at the monastery, just 1km from the viewpoint and never took us up there (only inside the monastery). I saw photos of groups from up there so I kind of expected it. In the end we ended up paying…”

“Our guide, Anahit was fantastic! She was knowledgable and absolutely made our long trip as comfortable as possible! The tour itself is long but i found it worthy to put the time in it :) thanks to Samvel, our driver the easy ride ☺️”

“Booked though Viator, I had a private tour with Raffi (guide) and Avet (driver) from Hyur Service in Armenia. It was a very full day trip to 3 monasteries/church complexes of Khor Virap, Noravank and Tatev monastery and ropeway, plus a lot of wonderful scenery along the way. Raffi was incredibly knowledgeable, extremely engaging, and professional - a top-notch tour guide mixing the right amount of knowledge, topics, and free time to take pictures. It was a fantastic experience, and I could not recommend Raffi, Avet and Hyur more.”

“I’m truly grateful to Hyur Company. From the very beginning, when we were designing our individual itinerary, I could already tell how well-organized and thoughtfully designed their website was. It’s highly systematic — no matter what kind of combination or type of trip you’re looking for, you can easily find it. The itineraries clearly show the attractions, estimated duration of stay, and allow you to freely choose whether to prepay for entrance tickets and meals.”

“Great trip from Yerevan if you have limited time and you want to see a lot of sights. Levon was a fantastic driver/guide/photographer. Defo recommend doing as a private tour rather than a long group tour”
Review of Armenia’s private Tatev, Khor Virap, Noravank, and Areni tour, with cable-car views, wine tasting, pricing, timing, and tips.
“It was an amazing tour. Comfortable car, an exceptionally amazing guide who took us to all the places in the package and breathtaking views. This private tour was all we wanted and expected from our trip to Armenia. Especially the journey, snow covered mountains, snow steams and cold winds made it much more memorable. Gor was our driver-cum- guide and he is a gem of a person. We talked all through our journey of 12-13 hours knowing about all what this tour and Armenia has to offer. Wings of Tatev is a real, once in a lifetime experience, more magical in winters with snow all around you. Would recommend Gor…”
Review of a 14-hour private tour from Yerevan to Khor Virap, Areni, Noravank, Shaki Waterfall, and Tatev by cable car.
“Visite spectaculaire avec des paysages incroyables et en plus il faisait beau. Le téléphérique de Tatev est une expérience magnifique, mais non indispensable, si vous ne disposez pas de temps ou assez d’argent. À ne pas rater sans aucun prétexte. En revanche, la visite du musée du vin à Areni est en plus et pour moi non intéressante. Heureusement c’était au retour et cela a duré très peu de temps.”

“We had a small group with Anastasia and she treated us like family. She was engaged, educational, and funny. Edgar our driver was quite impressive. The sights were stunning and the wine tasting was fun and not too long after lunch. And the spot we stop at for lunch is absolutely beautiful, on a small lake. Would do a tour with this group again!”
