The 15 Best Armenia Day Trips from Tbilisi

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, MiG-21 museum, and private transport for $59.

“The day trip to Armenia was arduous and uncomfortable. The van used was old and small, making the long day even longer. We spent as much time getting through the border and on and off the cramped van as we did at the sights. The lunch provided was very good and although the sights we saw were interesting, they were all monasteries. Anna did a good job explaining the history, but the things we saw were not varied enough to be interesting. I would not recommend this trip to others.”

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

Private 8-day Georgia and Armenia tour with airport pickup, Old Town Tbilisi views, Military Road sights, Qvevri wine, Sevan, and Yerevan.

“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…”
