- 1A blend of Greco-Roman and Armenian architectural styles, this unique example of pagan culture is the only surviving of its kind in the country. Believed to have been built by the Armenian King Trdat in the first century AD as a temple to the sun god, Mihr, it lost its significance when Armenia converted to Christianity in the early 4th century. The temple was then used a summer residence by the country’s kings and today, the remnants of the palace and its bathroom, complete with stunning mosaic work, can be seen nearby.

- GoozeeWanderers0 contributionsWhat a beautiful place to be with a wonderful peopleOne of my friends recommended us to use your services and I'm so happy that I did! On this tour we had a very professional, friendly and attentive guide and driver. We left on time; took us to all the places listed in the description of the tour. I love this region and its green spirit. We experienced great monasteries and a great nature. Black Shiny stones and people always smiling. Our tour guide Mr. Vahagn has a high knowledge about the history of Garni Temple and the monastery of Geghard. Besides his in-depth knowledge and extensive know-how about the history, his humour and personality made the tour memorable in all its facets. This is a really great way to see Armenia which is a really beautiful and friendly country. I would recommend Armenia Guide Travel. Just tell them what you want and they will arrange it. They are very helpful and professional. And also, to Mr. Ararat who made my birthday extra special. He assisted us to dine in one of the restaurant serving authentic Armenian food and it was so delicious with a bottle of wine to add on to our day..hahaha. He was a professional at navigating into very tight areas with traffic to get us to our destination without any problems. A big thanks to Armenia Guide Travel who made all works in making this trip so wonderful for me and my partner. Excellent value and 100% recommended for everyone!Written 4 August 2019
- 1988Kyros0 contributionsA Memorable 5 days Trip to ArmeniaWhat an amazing experience !!!! We had a wonderful and an amazing 4 days of TRIP at Armenia, and all thanks to Armenia Guide Tours & Travel (Van and Gohar and his driver) They worked out an excellent itinerary considering that we were traveling with our 1-year-old child and old parents which included a visit to the lake seven, Khor Virap Monastery, Noravank Monastery, Excursion & Degustation at Areni Winery, Mount Aragath ( snow exp)and many other places. They also arranged a transport to from Yerevan to Tbilisi and ensured we reach safely to Tbilisi. They also helped us choosing Armenian cuisine which were amazing. Right from the promptness in communication at the itinerary planning stage to the friendly tours, it was a delightful experience.

Wonderful private tour to Garni Temple, Geghard and Lavash baking, we were blessed with a sunny day although a little chilly. Our driver drove us safely to all the mentioned sights and waited patiently for us to visit them, also stopped to a lot of places for panoramic views of Yerevan and Mount Ararat. Also visited a traditional house with a very friendly family for our Lavash baking experience.
