Step into the spiritual heart of Armenia and explore the places where the country’s Christian history is written in stone. This tour brings together four important landmarks around Echmiadzin, each with its own story and character.

The first stop is St. Hripsime Church, one of the finest surviving examples of early Armenian Christian architecture. Built in the 7th century, the church is known for its elegant stone construction and its connection with the story of Saint Hripsime, one of the Christian martyrs who became an important figure in Armenian religious tradition.

Nearby stands St. Gayane Church, another 7th-century sanctuary dedicated to one of the women associated with Saint Hripsime. Its simple but powerful architecture and peaceful surroundings make it one of the most atmospheric churches in Echmiadzin.

The tour continues to the Echmiadzin Mother Cathedral, the spiritual centre of the Armenian Apostolic Church and traditionally regarded as the oldest cathedral in the world. The cathedral has stood at the centre of Armenian Christian life for centuries and remains one of the country's most important religious sites.

The final stop is Zvartnots Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Although only the impressive remains of the 7th-century cathedral survive today, the ruins give a sense of the scale and ambition of the original building, once considered one of the great architectural achievements of medieval Armenia.

Best service!

I have traveled a lot to many countries and when I decided to come to Armenia, I also took some tours in Tbilisi. Just in order to compare, I am absolutely pleased with the service and hospitality in Armenia, the organizator of the tour that I have taken was very kind and helped me a lot during my whole presence in Armenia. My mom and I were traveling alone and they were a reliable friend for us in Armenia. Just in case there are questions about my reservation, I have reviewed them in social media read a lot of reviews in tripadvisor and chose them, got in touch with them via e-mail and received a fast reply in 5 minutes. That is what I liked so much. I have no words to describe the politeness and kindness of driver. Also took a transfer to Tbilisi from them , I am very thankful :)

Good guide and driver

We have had an amazing experience recently. The tour was really well organized. Our driver Ara took us to the most beautiful places in Armenia. Also he had great driving skills and could communicate with us in English fluently. The vehicle was very comfortable and we didn't even notice how long the road was. The nature in Armenia is absolutely perfect, food is delicious and people are kind and helpful. My family is in love with Armenia, surely we will visit Armenia again, this time for a longer period of time, and take more tours from this company. Huge thanks to the driver and the office manager, who helped us to choose the tours.
