Discover some of Armenia's most important landmarks on this private tour from Yerevan. Learn about Armenian history and culture as you visit Garni, home to the country's only pagan temple, and the distinctive rock-carved Geghard Monastery. In Kotayk Province, not far from the village of Garni, admire one of Armenia's most well-known and beautiful natural monuments - the Symphony of Stones. Formed by the collapse of volcanic rocks, this striking site features massive, paradoxically symmetrical hexagonal and pentagonal basalt columns nearly 50 meters high, hanging against gravity like an organ and giving rise to its other name, the "Basalt Organ Pipes."
