Cross the border and meet your Armenian guide and driver to start the journey to the land of ancient traditions and the ancient churches. Drive to the Lori region and visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Haghpat Monastery. This is a stunning example of traditional Armenian architecture, erected between the 10th and 13th centuries. Standing on a hillside, Haghpat beautifully overlooks the Debed River Canyon. The monastery’s location was chosen to protect the peace and seclusion of the monks. Then drive through Dilijan to Lake Sevan, one of the largest high-mountain freshwater lakes in the world (and considered to be the “Jewel of Armenia”). The lake’s coastline is rich with dense woods, white cliff faces, mountain steppes, and Alpine meadows. Visit Sevanavank Monastery, which includes two churches – Surb Arakelots and Surb Karapet – standing among numerous khachkars. The buildings were constructed from black tuff, which probably gave the monastery its name of Sevanavank, “the Black Monastery”.

The monastery’s location allows you to enjoy superb views of Mount Ararat. Drive to the Noravank complex, which is situated on a ledge of a deep, winding gorge. Noravank stands among bizarrely shaped, precipitous red cliffs. Visit the Areni Cave complex where, in 2008, the world’s oldest leather shoe was found.

Caucasus Group Tour: Az, Ge, Am Reviews

Author: Jean Rao   |   Rating: 503 November 2019
A very interesting tour through the Caucasus. The geography, history, and interesting places - whether it`s a natural phenomenon, monastery, or the layout of a city made quite an impression!
Advantour did an excellent job in providing a tour leader plus amazing guides. We were treated to the local cuisines in a couple of places and got to enjoy some great food.
The standard of hotels selected in all the places were top class, and we were very comfortable - on the bus and in our rooms as well!
Thank you, Yuri!
Will definitely sign up for the longer road trip!

Thank you Advantour & Anvar for an amazing trip through the 5 Stans & South Caucasus! Beautiful cities, countryside, food & people’s culture & traditions. Great tour guides,especially Zaid in the Stans & Anna in the Caucasus, were outstanding in their knowledge & enthusiasm. We highly recommend these tours for the adventurous traveler discovering the history of the Silk Road!
Author: Paul & Robyn   |   Rating: 508 October 2019
My husband and I have just returned from our tour of The Stans and also the Caucasus (16 day Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia) The itinerary is excellent well thought out to ensure you visit all that each country has to offer and more.
We were more than satisfied with the quality and location of all the hotels. Breakfasts were more than adequate and obviously better in some cities.
Guides - Our Tour Leader Anna was excellent. Her knowledge and enthusiasm and care was a credit to herself and Advantours.
Local Guides - We had Rashad in Azerbaijan - who tried hard with his english and at times Anna translated quite often for him. Anna was our guide in Georgia and again excelled. Zara in Armenia was delightful, very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. Totally enjoyed her company.
Dinners provided by Advantour were very good and allowed us to try the local cuisine as was fruit from the company in each hotel room on arrival. The group lunches organised by Anna on long days were very much appreciated and delicious. Her little local snacks and cups of tea also were in good taste.
Transportation and associated drivers were excellent. All very professional and accommodating. The buses were very clean and in a good state, as the roads in some areas were quite challenging.

All in all we had a wonderful time and learnt so much about this special part of the world and would definitely recommend Advantours.

I was very happy with the itinerary (I always stay and additional one or 2 days both prior and after undertaking a tour and loved what we did on the tour).
Just to reiterate, I thought the accommodation was excellent, the guides (in particular Anna) were terrific and I had a wonderful time. I would jump at the chance to do another Advantour tour and hope to do so in 2020 to go to the Stans.

Thanks Advantour for this great trip I had (2019). I am considering a trip with your Company in 2020 (maybe the 11-day tour of Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan).

Liked the history, small towns, cities, food, natural landscapes, monasteries, hotels, wine tastings and the people. Itineraries were manageable and balanced. The time spent at each location was enough to offer real appreciation of the simply magnificent places we went.

Great tour guides. Very informed. Thanks to Anna, our main tour guide/coordinator. With her impeccable knowledge and enthusiasm, she paid attention to details and provided us great information (and by that, I was more than interested in doing additional search on some history issues of the three countries).
