Our route leads through the historical Lori province, an important historical region for both – Georgia and Armenia. You will visit the two UNESCO protected monastery complexes of Sanahin and Haghpat, discover the origins of the bright blue color in ancient frescoes in Akhtala, see abandoned cable cars and typical Soviet industrial towns and enjoy a traditional Armenian meal in a cozy restaurant by a river.

Great tour!
Great day tour! Highly recommend if you want to get a glimpse of Armenia from Tbilisi.
More than I even dared to hope for !!!
A day trip to Armenie ? I was not sure - Georgie is such a great country and so much to discover and one day in Armenia what will I learn and see anyway ? .... How wrong was I and how happy am I that I booked this tour ! Together with my partner we did the tour with Maria and her too funny driver (she is the best driver of Georgie and don´t worry she is also a nurse ...) and we did not stop talking the whole day - so many stories, questions, discussions, ideas and especially the most beautiful legends she can tell you. Do not even think about it - just book the tour and you really get an idea of Armenie - see the most beautiful monasteries - get an idea of USSR footprint in the country and will meet so many great people. For sure you end the day with the biggest smile !
