starting and returning point
The principal architectural features of medieval fortress-building have found their reflection in this fortress. Having been built on a naturally well-defended cape, Amberd has for long time served as an important military fort. Next to this secular edifice there is a church, built in 1026 by the duke Vahram Pahlavuni.

5.00Tour was great! Thoughtful explanations, great guide (jonathan? who was armenian, but born and raised in Russia). What stood out though was the food stop. I didn’t expect all the side dishes. The food was so delicious and there was a lot. Just wow
Perfect tour to Mt. Aragats and surrounds!

5.00The last tour of the season ran on 30 September and I changed my travel dates to Armenia just so I could do it. Was it worth it? Totally! Armen was a brilliant driver and Edward, our guide, a complete encyclopedia on Armenian history, culture, and folklore. At the same time, he was funny, efficient, and made every site we visited in and around Mt. Aragats, interesting. I am really glad I got to do the tour before the roads became difficult to travel through with the arrival of winter.
Wonderful experience
