The 15 Best Armenia Day Trips from Tbilisi

A long day and a border queue, but Haghpat and Sanahin are UNESCO-listed and closer to Tbilisi than Batumi is. These trips cover the monasteries of Lori, sometimes Lake Sevan and Dilijan as well; below is what each includes and how many of the hours are spent on the road.

1.Day Trip to Armenia Including Homemade Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,162 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) · from $59Our pick

Armenia day trip from Tbilisi with UNESCO monasteries, homemade lunch at a local family home, plus Debed Canyon and a MiG 21 museum for $59.

“Excellent day trip with the lovely Nina as our guide. An easy way to see another country while in Tbilisi. Crossing the border took about an hour each way. The three monasteries were interesting and different from Georgian ones. The lunch was excellent. The biggest surprise was the beautiful landscapes of that part of Armenia. Hills and forests with some crumbling Soviet era infrastructure. The other travelers in the van were friendly which made the day a lot of fun.”

The traffic/driving is not like we are used to from home countries, it is more aggressive here and we saw segertal accidents on the road. Our guide also helped us to check in for the accomodations which was very kind. I recommend this tour for everyone curious in visiting Armenia.”

It was a smooth and clear booking process with quick response and information from the staff. I paid full amount via PayPal 2 days before the trip. On the day, it was perfect starting with a very polite and professional driver picking us up at the hotel in the morning. The car was nice and clean with smooth driving throughout the trip. A local guide joined us after crossing the Armenian border, she was extremely nice, joyful, professional and informative with perfect English. Lunch at a local guesthouse was…”

13.Georgia and Armenia Tour 8 Days/7 Nights

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 4 reviews · 8 days (approx.) · from $1,497

Private 8-day Georgia and Armenia tour from Tbilisi to Yerevan with monasteries, views, wine tastings, and city highlights.

“The actual tour was very good, enlightening and exposed us to cultures we knew very little about. We thoroughly explored local cuisines of both countries during our dining with the local tour guide, and he did a great job vetting food experiences given my food allergies. There were many high points of the trip, beautiful landscapes and thought-provoking experiences. However, I would only recommend this trip with the following cautions: Booking the luxury or any experience outside the basic tour does not guarantee that you will get that experience. Apparently, you book your tour and any options through Viator. Viator then secures a local tour company to book the elements…”
