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. You will really like and remember Lake Sevan, Jermuk waterfall, Dilijan forests, Armenian monasteries and ancient buildings, distinguished by their unique architecture, and, of course, the Armenian traditional reception and traditions of Armenian hospitality.

Classification of tour difficulty levels
All of our sightseeing tours are light in terms of activity. They are provided for people of all age categories and physical fitness. Despite the fact that we reach all the destinations included in the tour program in comfortable vehicles, any sightseeing tour for full participation involves some effort in the form of walking, plus the load is added to the body due to a sharp change in altitude during passing through the mountainous landscape of the country. But if you do not have a serious chronic illness, then comfortable shoes, sunscreen and a hat will be enough for a comfortable stay on our sightseeing tours.
Tours marked "easy" mean comfortable transportation along the entire route of the tour on predominantly asphalt roads, do not include activities that require physical activity and special training, they are suitable for participants of all ages. Despite this, any tour implies certain minimum requirements for health and physical activity, small walks, etc. Considering that Armenia is a mountainous country, even a simple transfer from one destination to another always passes along serpentine roads - through gorges and mountain slopes. Within one day, we can also get into different climatic zones from hot heat to windy cold rain. All this creates a certain load on the body for which you need to be prepared. Thus, tours marked "easy" may also have episodes that will be difficult for you due to health reasons.
Science has long proven that moderate physical activity is the key to health, good mood and good spirits. And if your life in a big city passes through a closed triangle smartphone - car - TV, then during your vacation you can catch up and combine cultural immersion with an active thematic tour.
