• 5Half day tour to Khor Virap

  Khach was an excellent and knowledgeable guide. He gave us a brief history lesson on our way to the monastery and was very kind to answer all our questions and take our family pictures. Our driver, Karen, was nice enough to stop at a local fruit stand on our request so we could get some local fresh fruit. I would highly recommend.

  Tamara and Avet were great. The experience was very informative, and not rushed at all. We were very fortunate to have clear view of Mount Ararat.

• 5An Unforgettable Journey Through Armenia

  My wife and I had the pleasure of spending two days touring Armenia with Rose and Arthur, and they were simply outstanding. Rose is an exceptional guide. Her knowledge of Armenian history, culture, religion and contemporary life is extensive, but what truly sets her apart is her ability to bring the stories of Armenia to life in an engaging and memorable way. Whether we were exploring Khor Virap with Mount Ararat looming in the background, admiring the breathtaking beauty of Noravank, or learning about Armenia’s ancient Christian heritage, Rose provided insightful commentary that greatly enriched our experience. She was professional, personable, patient and always happy to answer our endless questions. Arthur was equally impressive. He is a highly skilled and safe driver who navigated Armenia’s roads with confidence and professionalism. We felt completely at ease throughout the journey. The vehicle was comfortable and immaculately maintained, and Arthur was always courteous, punctual and accommodating. Together, Rose and Arthur made a fantastic team. Their warmth, professionalism and genuine pride in their country made our visit to Armenia unforgettable. What could have been a simple sightseeing tour became a fascinating and deeply meaningful experience. We would highly recommend Rose and Arthur to anyone visiting Armenia. They were undoubtedly one of the highlights of our trip, and we are grateful for the wonderful memories they helped create. Thank you both for an incredible experience.

About Yerevan

Yerevan is Armenia's pink-stoned capital, a city of wide squares, café terraces and museums, with Mount Ararat standing on its southern skyline.

The city grew around Erebuni, a fortress founded in 782 BC, though most of today's centre was built in the Soviet era from the soft pink and orange tuff that earned Yerevan its nickname, the Pink City. Republic Square is the hub, framed by government buildings and museums. The Cascade, a giant stairway of terraces and sculpture, climbs a hillside, and the Matenadaran holds a famous collection of medieval manuscripts.

Top-ranked sights in Yerevan: Republic Square, Tsaghkadzor Ropeway, Matenadaran (Mesrop Mashtots Institute of Ancient Manuscripts).
