Highlights
  • Khor Virap - The Khor Virap is an Armenian monastery located in the Ararat plain in Armenia, near the closed border with Turkey.Khor Virap’s notability as a monastery and pilgrimage site is attributed to the fact that Gregory the Illuminator was initially imprisoned here for about 14 years by King Tiridates III of Armenia. Saint Gregory subsequently became the king’s religious mentor, and they led the proselytizing activity in the country. In the year 301, Armenia was the first country in the world to be declared a Christian nation.[2][5][6] A chapel was initially built in 642 at the site of Khor Virap by Nerses III the Builder as a mark of veneration to Saint Gregory.

Memory Maker Travel-Tours in Armenia is amazing! - Our three-day tour guided by Mr. Levon and Arthur through the beautiful landscapes of Armenia was nothing short of amazing. Their profound knowledge of Armenia's rich history and culture brought each destination to life, making our journey incredibly insightful. From exploring ancient monasteries to sampling fine wines at a picturesque winery, every experience was carefully curated to showcase the best of Armenia. Their friendly demeanor and professionalism made us feel like old friends exploring together. We were mesmerized by the snow-capped mountains, serene lakes, and charming old towns that we visited. It was truly a memorable adventure, thanks to Mr. Levon and Arthur's expertise and hospitality. Highly recommended for an authentic and unforgettable Armenian experience!

Awesome experience! - They are accommodating and prompt.  Regarding finances and as a professional, Sir Levon is a trustworthy tour guide. It truly demonstrates their concern for the safety of their clients that he gave us advance notice before we arrived at the location. They go above and beyond in their tour services. Until our next travel. Shnorhakalut’yun.

Great drive in the countryside, very helpful guide - Gor was a decent tour guide, and his English was better than many! We appreciate his effort to drive us around in the countryside and tell the stories of the places we’ve visited. He also checks on us regularly and sensitive with our needs. Felt safe and enjoyed the experience. He suggested to eat in a restaurant and we enjoyed it!
