What To Expect
Yerevan
Picking up from the hotel and heading to the Arch of Charents
The Arch of Charents, a poetic gateway to Armenia’s soul! This monumental arch was built in 1957 and dedicated to one of Armenia’s greatest poets, Yeghishe Charents. While the arch itself is minimalist in design, the real magic is in the view: on clear days, you get a breathtaking panoramic sweep of Mount Ararat.

5.00We took a tour to see the sights around Yerevan, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. We truly loved the service — everything was well organized and comfortable. A special thank you to our driver Artak for his professionalism and smooth driving, which made the trip even more enjoyable. We were especially impressed by the fascinating and engaging stories about Armenia shared by Armene, they made the journey come alive and added so much depth to what we saw. Honestly, we didn’t want the day to end. Highly recommended!

5.00I want to express my great gratitude to the travel agency for organizing the trip to Armenia! Special thanks to our guide Armina and bus driver Armen. It is amazing how in a very short time they were able to show and tell about almost all of Armenia. It was informative, comfortable and very heartwarming. I certainly recommend it!
