Overview

Our special school tour of Armenia is designed for teenage participants, their parents, and other accompanying individuals. If you’ve decided to send your child with school friends to Armenia during the upcoming break, this is the perfect plan for the trip! However, if you’re still unsure, here are some arguments in favor.

If your child is going through a challenging adolescent phase, constantly glued to their phone, becoming less social, and rebellious, defending their rights without showing interest in anything, rest assured, these are universal issues for young people of school age—we all went through it; it’s part of growing up. But there’s a highly effective method for overcoming these psychological barriers—a joint journey with peers. Allow your child to feel like an adult, to travel without your direct supervision, to take responsibility for themselves, make new acquaintances among peers, or mend relationships with classmates and friends. The upcoming school breaks—spring, summer, or fall—are the perfect time for this.

Send your offspring to us, to Armenia, for our special tours for schoolchildren, and we will create a beneficial experience for their brain, body, and psychological development. Since 2012, we have been organizing excursion tours for schoolchildren in Armenia based on the individual requirements of our guests. This tour incorporates the best ideas we’ve developed over the years and is essentially an educational, entertaining, and interactive program led by professional guides. Throughout the program, in addition to getting acquainted with Armenia, children will gain practical knowledge in archaeology, geology, ecology, folk crafts, folk dances, and gastronomy.

Bus tours with schoolchildren must prioritize high safety standards. Your children will be under constant supervision, engaged in interesting activities, have the opportunity to challenge themselves in new situations and gain crucial life experience. They will enjoy nutritious and delicious food, travel in good transportation with an experienced driver. The only regret you might have about their trip to Armenia with us is that you didn’t join them!

We traveled around Armenia from October 29 to November 2 with Barev Armenia. We would like to express our gratitude to the company for the excellent organization of the tour and for providing us with the most suitable guide - Gora) Very patient, understanding, competent and cheerful. Upon arrival in Moscow, I asked my restless and characterful sixth-graders, what did they like most? After thinking for about 5 minutes, they said that they couldn’t choose. And excursions, and digging with archaeologists, and mountains, and monasteries, and lavash, and gata, and restaurants, and weather, and nature, and Yerevan, and Armenians, and the fact that people in Armenia love Russia. For them, this was their first trip without their parents, and it was a success, leaving them with a wonderful desire to travel. Thank you, Barev Armenia!
