Forget about it! Any of our tours includes tasting drinks and cuisine, fascinating acquaintances and cordial communication, elements of active tourism and master classes. As Tonino Guerra noted: “Armenia is a country of vertical travel”, meaning not only the passes passing through deep gorges and mountains under heaven, but also an amazing journey through time – from the present to the past. Armenia is a contrast of fleeting landscapes and an extraordinary “Open Air Museum”, rich in historical, cultural and spiritual monuments. Some of these valuables were built in the pre-Christian period (Ukhtasar petroglyphs, Karahunj observatory, Erebuni fortress, Garni temple of pagan gods). Our excursions to Armenia at affordable prices will give you the opportunity to visit this wonderful corner of our world, recharge with new energy in cities and villages surrounded by amazing mountains and rocks.
