Classic Armenia is a well-balanced 10-day journey that reveals the country through its greatest symbols — ancient faith, dramatic landscapes, living traditions and bold flavors. You’ll visit UNESCO landmarks and spiritual centers (Etchmiadzin, Zvartnots, Geghard, Haghpat & Sanahin), admire iconic monasteries like Khor Virap, Noravank and Tatev (with the “Wings of Tatev” cable car), and experience Armenia’s nature from Lake Sevan and Dilijan to the Debed Gorge and the caves of Khndzoresk. What makes the tour special is its authentic local immersion: brandy tasting at the Ararat Brandy Factory, winery visits with tastings, a home-style tolma masterclass, a lavash baking experience, and carefully chosen local food stops and markets. Led by a professional guide and designed for small groups, it stays personal and smooth while covering the very best of Armenia.
