Program

Day 1. Обзорная экскурсия по Еревану
  • Встреча в аэропорту
  • Заселение в отель
  • Тур по Армении начнем с обзорной экскурсии по Еревану. Архитектура столицы оригинальна и самобытна. Сегодня Ереван - это город, в котором встречаются разнообразные архитектурные стили, с зелеными аллеями, многочисленными фонтанами.
  • Далее проследуем к Каскаду. Большой Каскад - 500-метровая лестница (522 ступеньки) с фонтанами и цветочными клумбами, а также музей под открытым небом, где представлено около 30 скульптур известных мастеров. Внутри комплекса на 5 ярусах находится Центр искусств Гафесчян.
Day 2. Гарни - Гегард - Озеро Севан
  • Завтрак в отеле
  • Путешествие по Армении продолжим к языческому храму Гарни, который был построен в I веке армянским царем Трдатом I и посвящен богу Солнца Михре. Согласно истории, этот храм возведен на деньги римского императора Нерона. Ущелье реки Азат славится базальтовыми столбами - результат потока вулканической лавы.
  • Следующей остановкой будет Гегард - монастырский комплекс, внесенный Юнеско в список объектов Всемирного культурного наследия. Полное название - Гегардаванк, дословно - Монастырь копья. Название монастырского комплекса происходит от Копья Христа (Копье Лонгина), которым римский воин Лонгин вонзил в Иисуса Христа. Копье сейчас хранится в сокровищнице Эчмиадзинского кафедрального собора.
  • Путешествие к Озеру Севан - пресноводное озеро Армянского нагорья, самое большое озеро на Кавказе. Является крупным гарантированным источником пресной воды в регионе. Посещение Севанаванка - монастыря на северо-западном побережье озера Севан. Монастырь расположен на полуострове Севан, который ранее являлся небольшим островом.
  • Возвращение в Ереван
Day 3. Хор Вирап - Эчмиадзин - Звартноц
  • Завтрак в отеле

  • Экскурсия по Армении в этот день начнется с посещения армянского монастыря Хор Вирап, находящийся у подножия горы Арарат, близ границы с Турцией. Является местом паломничества, которое связано с легендой о Григоре Лусавориче (Григор Просветитель). Согласно церковному преданию, Григор был заточен в темницу по приказу царя Трдата Iii, уличенный в том, что он исповедует христианство и провел в ней 13 лет. Желающие могут спуститься в темницу, которая имеет глубину 6 м и диаметр 4,4 м.

  • Прямо перед вами предстанет с самого близкого расстояния и во всей красе символ Армении - гора Арарат.

  • После мы отправимся в св. Эчмиадзин - центр Армянской Апостольской Церкви, где расположена резиденция католикоса. Посетим Эчмиадзинский кафедральный собор (301-483), который входит в список Всемирного наследия Юнеско.

My husband and I were vacationing in Armenia from May 9 to May 13. Snowy Ararat, the pink walls of Yerevan, the smell of barbecue and lavash, incredible places, ancient temples and monasteries made of dark tuff, mountains, rocks and gorges, Lake Sevan... Armenia, you're amazing! ❤ Armenia is love forever!!!

Thanks to this tour for such emotions. We loved absolutely everything!

We were met at the airport by the driver Vladimir, the next day we met Sergey in person and met the guide Sarah. The team is great! Sarah is an expert in history, thanks to her we have learned a lot about the history and traditions of Armenia; she is a wonderful, friendly, smiling woman! We previously agreed on the program with Sergey; it was slightly modified by Sergey in accordance with our request (to make the days as busy as possible, visit as many locations as possible). As a result, we got an exciting and intensive tour, and in 3 days we managed to visit the most popular tourist places. It was very impressive and not at all exhausting.
We traveled in a comfortable car and listened to the guide's stories with enthusiasm! Super!!!

I would like to note individuality: there was an individual approach to everything - the program was designed according to our wishes, the guide always gave time to take photos and videos, took his time, there was no rush and no race, everything for comfort.

Accommodation in a wonderful hotel “14th floor” with a view of Ararat!!!

Everything is simple at the highest level, 100% tour organization! I definitely recommend it! Thank you and prosperity to your team!
We would like to express our gratitude to Sergey and his team 🇦🇲
Although we have already returned from Armenia, our soul is still singing!

Echoing her, we want to sing praises to those who managed to make our trip like this...

❤️ informative: guide Marina has deep knowledge and presents the material in a very clear, interesting and Armenian way! We learned a lot about the life of Armenians, immersed ourselves in the history of the country and every place we visited.

❤️ beautiful: our driver Khachatur not only took us from one point to another quickly and safely, but also, knowing us girls, stopped at gorgeous photo locations 😀

❤️ delicious: we tried Armenian dishes, tasted brandy at the Ararat factory, wine at a private winery is a delight! And in Goris, we found ourselves at a real Armenian feast. The hospitable hotel owner made a barbecue and set the table for us himself 👍

❤️ musical: the music that Khachatur played for us on the road became the soundtrack of our journey and hit the very heart, and the dances from the beautiful Marina left us no chance not to wave our arms and follow her! And we were in for a shock in Geghard: while demonstrating the church's acoustics, Marina sang in Armenian and gave us one of the most vivid experiences in her life and huge goosebumps at that moment ❤️

Our entire trip was well planned, with clear timing and beautiful surroundings. But there was also a place for our wishes and whims to come true: in Yerevan we wanted to listen to jazz, and we were immediately booked the best table at the jazz club! We fell in love with this country and the people who made our trip that way. Many thanks to guide Marina for her care and attention to us, she was like a mom to us all day long. You can admire her (and in her person, all Armenian women) endlessly!

We will definitely come back, because people never part with their loved ones, and Armenia is now our love ❤️
She traveled from April 18-20.
Everything is great! Tour organization and people nearby.
Sarah and Vladimir made their stay in Armenia comfortable and interesting. Thank you very much to Sergey for his coordination. I recommend your team to everyone and hope to come by myself again.
My wife and I would like to say a big thank you to our guide to Armenia, Victoria. Thanks to her, the country has opened up from an incredibly warm and sincere side. These were not just excursions, but real walks with a person who sincerely loves Armenia and knows how to convey this love to others.

Victoria spoke simply and sincerely, with such details that Armenia literally came to life before our eyes, showed us places we would definitely not go to, and created the feeling that you are not a tourist, but a welcome guest. The trip was very comfortable and memorable. Armenia is now in my heart, and it is largely thanks to Victoria!

And I would also like to thank our driver Artak, a true professional in his field! The ride was very soft and comfortable; even on mountain roads, you could feel completely confident and safe. The road was as much a pleasant part of the journey as the excursions themselves)
This was one of the most interesting trips of my life! Many thanks to Sergey for organizing. Guide Marina and driver Volodya are wonderful, sincere and warm people. We had the feeling that we were visiting old friends. All our individual requests and wishes were resolved immediately and at the highest level. They even wished us a happy birthday! It was very nice and sincere. Our next tour is only with Sergey and his amazing team! Thank you guys!!!
I really liked the three-day tour to “Armenia: First Acquaintance”!!

The company's teamwork, excellent travel organization, professional support and comfortable living conditions are all the positive aspects of the tour.

The tour organizer Sergey planned everything perfectly, took into account our wishes and preferences, ensured maximum pleasure from the trip, was always in touch, helped in difficult situations, showed attention and care.

Guide Arik conducted exciting and informative tours. With love and deep knowledge of his field, he told many interesting stories about Armenia.

We would also like to note the conditions created for us during the trip: hotel accommodation was convenient and comfortable. Breakfasts are delicious and varied.
At our request, an additional program was organized: visits to the theater, a family wine business, national restaurants and shops - all this added cultural experience to our trip.

Driver Volodya ensured the safety of our trip.

The trip left extremely vivid and positive impressions. We fell in love with Armenia from the bottom of our hearts and enjoyed every moment of our journey.

This experience will inspire us to new discoveries and exciting journeys! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts and we will definitely use your offers and services in the future.
I am pleased to write a review about my previous acquaintance with Armenia! This is the first time I used the services of Tripsider.com — I was very pleased, I plan to use it and recommend it to others, thank you!
Now let's talk about the trip itself, which was perfectly supervised by Sergey. To begin with, I joined the tour just a day before departure — Sergey didn't leave me and found a suitable hotel accommodation, for which I thank him. From the point of view of organizing the entire tour, everything went very clearly and smoothly, no complaints.
I would also like to thank the whole team for their sincerity, in particular driver Artak and guide Vasily — professionals in their field and wonderful people with whom we spent all our days together. Artak not only masterfully drove us along the winding mountain roads, but he was always attentive and ready to help, while Vasily was a real treasure trove of knowledge; he talked with such enthusiasm that we wanted to listen to more every day. Thanks to him, the history and culture of Armenia unfolded in front of me in all its beauty and richness.
The route was busy but not tiring. Everything was well thought out: we saw and visited the incredibly beautiful places, got acquainted with local cuisine, tasted local wine and just enjoyed the atmosphere of a warm and hospitable country. Everything went easily, comfortably and with the full feeling that you were in good hands and in great company, even if you came alone.
I was also incredibly lucky to have the band members — Polina, Svetlana, Dmitry — all easy-going, cheerful and sociable wonderful people, my respect! From day one, we all quickly found common ground with each other, laughed a lot, had interesting discussions and just had a great time together. Thanks to them, the tour has become twice as vivid and soulful! It's just a shame we didn't take a joint photo.
This trip gave me a lot of impressions, wonderful acquaintances and very warm memories. Thank you all for your care, sincerity and professionalism!
We would like to express our gratitude to our guide Victoria and driver Artak! It was a wonderful trip, we learned a lot about Armenia, tasted an unprecedented amount of wine)) swam in Lake Sevan, visited the oldest monasteries and temples!
All wishes and even more were taken into account) Victoria and Artak made our trip unforgettable, we were very pleased with the tour organization, the individual approach and just the company of wonderful people! It was fun and informative, thank you so much!))
Good afternoon. We had a great time traveling in Armenia. The organization from Sergey is top notch: we met and escorted to the airport in comfortable cars; 4* hotel - excellent location, comfortable room, everything corresponds to the description; super charming guide Marina and driver Artak (thank them very much), an interesting program for 3 days of exploring Armenia. We are always in touch and ready to answer any questions.
Only positive emotions from the country and from people - kindness and hospitality. History, temples, architecture, nature are just a delight.
Thank you so much for our wonderful vacation.
Good afternoon, I would like to say a big THANK YOU to THE ENTIRE team of tour organizers! Sergey, you have selected professionals and great people to join your team! Thanks. People who love their homeland and share this love! Armenia impressed me with its hospitality and friendliness! We will definitely be back
