This full-day private tour combines the noble medieval heritage of northern Armenia with the vivid charm of Tbilisi. The first part of the route leads to Lori region, about three hours from Yerevan, where you will visit Haghpat and Sanahin – two remarkable 10th-century monasteries included in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List. Haghpat impresses with its majestic harmony and is also connected with the famous ashugh Sayat-Nova, who lived and created here at the end of the 18th century. At Sanahin, you can admire the skill and wisdom of medieval masters, whose thoughtful architectural solutions helped protect the complex from possible earthquakes.

The second part of the tour is devoted to Tbilisi – a warm, colorful and expressive city with old streets, balconies, courtyards and beautiful views. The program includes the key landmarks of the Georgian capital, where history and lively city atmosphere meet at every step. If you choose to take the cable car, Tbilisi will open before you in all its splendor, with impressive panoramas over the old districts and surrounding hills. A walk through the old city will not leave you indifferent: among its charming streets and architectural details, you will surely notice the elegant traces of Armenian architectural influence.

Itinerary

Haghpat Monastery, Sanahin Monastery, Tbilisi

1. Haghpat Monastery

50-60 min Details: Haghpat Monastery

To the northeast of Sanahin, cradled by the lofty peaks of Lori, stretches the monastery of Haghpat – a masterpiece of Armenian medieval art, where stone speaks the language of centuries. Founded in the 10th century under King Ashot III of the Bagratuni dynasty, it rose at a time when Armenia blossomed in culture and spirit. The weathered walls of Haghpat still carry the resonance of that golden age, bearing silent witness to the passage of time.

2. Sanahin Monastery

40-50 min Details: Sanahin Monastery

Not far from Haghpat, in the heart of the Lori region, rises Sanahin Monastery – a true marvel of Armenia's medieval architecture. Its construction began in the second half of the 10th century, during the reign of King Ashot III and from the very beginning the complex was conceived as both a spiritual and educational center.

3. Tbilisi

140-150 min Details: Tbilisi

280 kilometers north of Yerevan stretches Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia – a city where the past and the present beat in the same vibrant rhythm. At its heart runs the Kura River, an artery that unites centuries, mirroring in its waters church domes, bridges and the sparkling lights of the metropolis. In its narrow alleys whispers of history can still be heard, while the wide avenues breathe with the pulse of a modern city.

Мы с группой путешествовали 9 июня из Тбилиси в Ереван трансфер предоставило туристическое агентство hyur service в это прекрасное агентство мы обратились уже не первый раз и ещё раз убедились в высоком профессионализме и ответственности. Все было исполнено прекрасно. В пути нас сопровождала и поддерживала наш прекрасный руководитель Марианна она постоянно интересовалась качеством нашей поездки. Нам повезло с водителем его зовут Аро и мы всю поездку были в его надежных руках. Это прекрасный сердечный и приветливый человек никто из нашей группы не чувствовал себя одиноким. Аро всю дорогу был очень внимателен и любезен и по нему мы ещё раз убедились в том что Армения прекрасная страна с сердечными и гостеприимными людьми. Мы постоянно будем путешествовать по Армении только с турфирмой Hyur Service и будем просить, что бы нашим водителем был обязательно Аро !!!
