Let me take you on alternative routes around Armenia with top sights and show you charming passages, secret gardens and the best shopping districts while I share their history and tell you my favorite tales of the city. I am licensed tour guide since 2015 and I have extensive background and knowledge in the history of Armenia, which dates back to 3, 500 B. C. I graduated from the Yerevan State University, majoring in economics and literature, and then pursued my interests in tourism. My education prepared me very well for this profession as a tour guide. There are amazing tour packages in my offers and I am very flexible and open to customization. Looking forward to meeting you.

Overview of your Yerevan tour
Being a local, I am fortunate to live in city center. This enables me to access both the center of Yerevan for my walking tours and it is possible to drive to countryside by car which is also full of hidden gems and incredible history. (I have lived in various parts of Armenia for more then 10 years). An hour's drive brings us to Khor Virap Monastery. Located in the Ararat plain situated about 100 meters away from the closed Turkish-Armenian border (sealed by barbed wire fencing) and defended by Russian military establishments. Heading to south east of Armenia and our 2nd stop is the legendary Monastery of the Spear at Geghard. This UNESCO World Heritage site was carved into the rock to house one of the most cherished relics of Christianity. We continue our drive to Garni Temple, a first century A. D. Graeco-Roman pagan temple probably devoted to Mithra. We may hear Armenian visitors give an impromptu choral concert.
