- Khor Virap - Armenia is renowned as the first Christian nation in the world, officially adopting Christianity in 301 AD. This significant event occurred when Grigor was freed from the capital’s prison, where he had been held for 13 years due to his Christian beliefs. He healed the ailing king, who then embraced Christianity as the state religion. From Khor Virap, visitors can enjoy the most stunning view of Mount Ararat, offering a close-up look at the mountain’s majestic structure and beauty.
- Noravank Monastery - Noravank is a testament to medieval Armenian artistry and architectural prowess. Established in the 9th century, the monastery flourished in the 13th and 14th centuries. Nestled among towering red mountains and constructed from the local stones, Noravank beautifully integrates with the surrounding landscape, maintaining its unique charm.
- Jermuk - Upon reaching Jermuk, visitors are drawn to the “Mermaid’s Braids” waterfall, which stands 68-70 meters high and is steeped in the legend of forbidden love. The tale tells of a prince who curses his daughter for meeting her beloved, transforming her into stone. Her hair continues to flow as water, giving the waterfall its enchanting name.
- Areni Wine Factory - The tour concludes at the heart of winemaking in the village of Areni, where the Areni Wine Factory warmly welcomes guests. Visitors can sample a variety of Armenian wines, including those crafted from Areni grapes. The tour includes a visit to the wine cellar and a charming cafe located on the upper floor.

The best tour of my trip! - This tour was amazing. My guide was Lina and the driver was Arman. Everything was super organized and always ran with a timely manner at each destination. This was my second time in Armenia, but my first time using One Way Tour, and I will use them again from now on each time I return to my motherland, Armenia. Lina truly was an amazing guide who poured her heart and soul into the day. Thank you for an amazing day! PS I’d like to add that our van broke down the first hour but was changed out in a timely manner and absolutely did not disrupt or change the schedule of our day AT ALL. Very professional handling of the situation!!!! Thank you Lina and Arman!!!

Excellent guide - The trip itself was great. Khor Virap and Norovank in particular are very much worth a visit. But I was especially impressed with our guide. She was knowledgeable and helpful but also had a really excellent feel for how to create a good experience for everyone. She made it clear when and where she'd be available for giving information at the sites while also telling us it was fine if we preferred just to explore on our own. She gave the right amount of information on the bus without overloading us. And she was generous in inviting and answering questions. I wish I could remember her name because it was her that made the trip excellent.

Great trip - Communication prior to the tour date was great. Tour went smoothly. Tour guide Marie was excellent. Places visited on the tour was lovely (although less time should be allocated for the water fountain-40mins there was too much time and nothing to do).

Informative and relaxing tour - This was a fantastic tour with people from Armenia, Rushia, France, Slovenia and Switzerland.
Ani, our guide, gave us very interesting information about Armenia, Khor Virap, Noravank the waterfall in Yermuk. We tased the heathy water in Yeremuk and different wines in Areni.
We had enough time to enjoy the single places. On the road back the Armenian travellors sang spontanly great Armenian songs!
The organisation and the driver style were perfect!

Super duper Armenia tour experience - I joined the One Way Tour to Khor Virap, Noravank, Jermuk, and Areni today, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better day. The locations were stunning - each spot had its own charm, from the spiritual calm of Khor Virap to the majestic beauty of Noravank and the relaxing atmosphere of Jermuk.
But what made the trip truly unforgettable was the team behind it. A huge shoutout to our tour guide Hasmik Karapetyan - she was knowledgeable, engaging, and super friendly. Her storytelling brought each destination to life. Also, a big thank you to our driver Gevorg Karapetyan, who drove us smoothly and safely the entire day.
The tour was perfectly organized, on time, and gave us enough time to enjoy each location. I highly recommend One Way Tour to anyone visiting Armenia
- it's professional, affordable, and you'll walk away with great memories.
