The second destination of the tour is the Haghpat Monastery, located in Haghpat Village and is a UNESCO-listed site. It is one of the most beautiful medieval masterpieces in Armenia. Then you can have lunch and try some traditional Armenian food. Following lunch, you'll make 3 stops on your way to visit the second UNESCO Heritage Site, Sanahin. 

The first will be a 13th-century bridge, the second for a Debed canyon with astonishing views, and the third for the Mikoyan Brothers' museum, where an original aircraft (MiG 21) will surprise you. Finally, travel back through the border to Tbilisi.

Thank you Gamarjoba for arranging our fabulous Armenia tour. We really enjoyed. The highlight was the places we visited there and the homemade lunch. I really appreciate Elle and Mariam for providing all the information related to the tours. They always answer our questions quickly. The guide Catherin (I am sorry If the spelling is wrong) was amazing with the support for clearing passport procedures at the border. She always made sure that we are happy.

Fabulous! The guide was knowledgeable, super friendly and very energetic. I enjoyed learning about Armenia and getting a taste of the culture! It has made me curious about going on a proper trip to Yerevan and the south of Armenia. The lunch at the family’s house was an absolute highlight! Everything was home grown and home made, so delicious! Would recommend!
