What people love about Armenia Tours
- Classic Armenia - 7 days (Private Tour)
My wife and I spent 11 days on a private tour of Armenia with Mariam and our driver Karo. We enjoy private tours because it allows us the ability to customize our trips, change on the fly, if need be, and ride in comfortable vehicles. From the get-go when I contacted Mariam, the communication was excellent and timely despite a 9-hour time difference. We enjoy history, cultural experiences, and the natural beauty a place has to offer. We worked together on an itinerary and trip during late April/early May before the weather turned exceedingly hot. The whole experience exceeded our expectations. We felt like premium clients and were treated extraordinarily well by Mariam. Besides having a great personality that is fun and caring, Mariam is a walking knowledge vault not only providing history but sharing cultural incites of Armenia. She is also an avid hiker guide and wine guide, so we got the complete package and then some. We wanted to meet other Armenians during our travels, and she did not disappoint. Her connections are vast, and we met so many delightful people, ate wonderful foods, drank excellent wine, learned so much about Armenia, and did a bit of getting close to nature. We can’t say enough except that she created a memory that will stay with us forever. Be aware that her services are in demand so plan accordingly. There is only one of Mariam and we were thrilled that she was our private guide who we can now call our friend. If you are planning a trip to Armenia, you should definitely contact her.

My wife and I dealt directly with Caucasus Tours. From the start they catered to every request and need we had. The tour itself was better than expected and our tour guide would have to be the best we have ever had on any trip. The local knowledge and expertise demenstrated by Cascasus tours in providing a tour that suited us and providing a tour guide that continually made the trip one to remember can not be put in words. This was an experience like no other we had before and we highly recommend Caucaus tours to anyone going to the region. This was the best part of our whole trip and without doubt one of the best tours we have had. Thank you to everyone involved. S & G from Australia
- Classic Armenia - 7 days (Private Tour)
Our recent and first trip to Armenia was absolute perfection! We all agree that it was amazing, and the best trip each of us has ever experienced. The hotel arranged for us was perfect. It was clean, comfortable and welcoming. The rooftop restaurant gave us a great start to each day. Not only was the food delicious, but the view of Ararat was spectacular. We also very much enjoyed the musicians both in the mornings and evenings. The hospitality of the staff was so special. The proximity to Republic Square and other areas of Yerevan that we explored was very convenient. We also think that the location was helpful with pickup and drop off. The day excursions were each so amazing and well planned. We couldn't possibly have had the same amazing experience without the Caucasus Tour. They made wonderful suggestions to adjust their typical "Classic Tour" to personalize our length of stay and interests. We appreciated the fact that our guide made adjustments to the schedule to accommodate the best experience for each location, due to weather and other factors. Of course, all of the meaningful and beautiful regions, monuments, monasteries and attractions were significant for us, but the amazing visits with such special and welcoming people that we would never have had the privilege to find and experience on our own were the most valuable part of our trip. Travel to all of the regions was very comfortable for us. The car was the perfect size for our group. Each of the meals we experienced during our guided tours were unforgettable! The variety and quality were outstanding, and we were never hungry!! Perhaps the best part of our trip was having such a great person as our guide that we all consider to be a dear friend. His knowledge and ability to explain the history and importance of the areas of the planned tour was both astonishing and very entertaining. Beyond that, we felt that he effortlessly came to know and understand each of us, and would naturally adjust the conversation to answer questions and provide insight that was personalized for us. We cannot imagine a more perfect guide for us. He not only took care of everything for us and guided us through such an amazing experience while we were with him, but his recommendations and insight that he offered us during our time together allowed us to make the most of our free time in Yerevan.
Most popular destinations in Armenia
The rugged mountains of the Caucasus draw people in with incredible scenery and deep cultural roots. That trek up to Gergeti Trinity Church really delivers - you get these expansive mountain views that make the climb worthwhile. Our travelers often tell us how much they love cooking with local families, learning to make proper khachapuri with its gooey cheese filling and those twisted khinkali dumplings, all while sampling unique local wines. For serious hikers, the glacier route to Mount Shkhara's base offers a proper physical challenge, while those interested in ancient history find themselves absorbed by the old rock art at Qobustan. The small mountain villages scattered throughout the region create natural opportunities to connect with local life, and these genuine interactions consistently become the highlight of our customers' trips. June through September is ideal for visiting, when hiking trails are accessible and valleys burst with wildflowers. We regularly hear stories from guests who jumped into September wine harvests or found themselves swept up in local festivals with traditional music and dancing.

Travel Armenia your way
Armenia's hidden corners really open up through several well-planned routes that blend old sites with local life. Our most detailed trips take you into the Ararat Valley where you'll find yourself trying wines at small family vineyards and exploring 6,100-year-old wine caves - some of the oldest on earth. Up north, the routes head into Dilijan National Park, which locals call "Armenia's Switzerland" for good reason; thick forests lead you to quiet medieval monasteries tucked away in the hills. Some tours go through the deep Vorotan Gorge and use the world's longest aerial tramway to reach Tatev Monastery. What our travelers often tell us they loved most were the village stays in places like Kalavan and Dsegh, where cooking with local families and sleeping in homestays gave them real insights into Armenian life.

See all Fully Guided toursArmenia's rich history comes alive through tours that connect past and present. Using Yerevan as your base makes sense - from here you can easily reach places like Echmiadzin Cathedral, which holds the title of world's first Christian church. Our clients particularly enjoy visiting the Matenadaran, where you'll find one of the biggest collections of ancient manuscripts anywhere. Some routes include Goshavank Monastery, home to Armenia's first legal document, the "Book of Laws." The best cultural moments often happen in village homes during lavash bread-making sessions and at Yerevan's busy GUM market, where you can shop alongside locals for fresh produce, dried fruits and also the sweet Armenian candy called sujukh.

The travelers who've been exploring Armenia with us give particularly high marks to Arthur, who guides for Armenia Cultural Tour (242561). He's got this way of making history come alive at each site - you get the full story, not just surface details. We're seeing good feedback about wine experiences too. A recent guest on the Premium Wine Tour (239390) couldn't say enough about the food and wine pairings, while over at The Caucasus Tours (113751), Mariam has been earning praise for running things smoothly and really knowing her stuff. She's one of those guides who makes everything work like clockwork while sharing deep local insights. The nice thing about these tours is how the guides adapt to what interests you. Arthur digs into architectural details for history buffs, while Mariam knows exactly which local spots will give you the authentic feel of Armenia. When our travelers mention the wine tour, they often talk about how it goes beyond just tasting - you learn about Armenian wine traditions and actually meet local producers. All three tours hit the main highlights, but it's the personal touches from guides like Arthur and Mariam that make them special. They've got that knack for making complex history digestible and keeping everything organized while still feeling relaxed and natural.

"We would like to thank Hasmik for the wonderful tour. It was an impressive trip with a great program. The tour was perfect in every respect and the guide and driver were excellent. We were able to learn a lot about the local culture, traditions and life. The selection of hotels was very good. All in all, we would be happy to recommend this company and would be happy to give you a 5 stars. Thank you very much for everything and best regards from Germany.

Best places to start your Armenia tour
Most Armenia explorations kick off from Yerevan, with 24 of our travelers starting there this season. While you can begin from Garni or Tbilisi too, Yerevan makes the most sense with its good transport links and rich cultural scene. Looking at our booking data, you'll want to lock in your dates about 32 days ahead, particularly if you're traveling in peak season when cultural tours tend to fill up. May through October offers really nice conditions for both cultural visits and hiking. Spring carpets the countryside in wildflowers, while autumn brings rich colors to the landscape and bustling wine harvest activities. September proves especially nice - the summer crowds thin out but the weather stays mild and pleasant for exploring monasteries and outdoor walks.

Demographics
Solo travelers find Armenia quite accessible, with tours that balance personal space and group activities. Many of our solo guests start in Yerevan, joining others for market visits and food tastings while keeping time to explore on their own. The wine sessions at family vineyards in Areni are particularly social - casual gatherings where solo travelers easily connect with others. Hiking around Dilijan National Park naturally brings people together as they discover forested peaks and tucked-away monasteries. The cultural elements, like cooking with locals and meeting craftspeople, give solo travelers natural ways to engage with Armenian life.
Couples often pick our wine and cultural routes through Armenia, where romance fits naturally with history. The wine tours take you to family wineries in the Ararat Valley - you'll taste wines aged in traditional karases while Mount Ararat rises in the background. Couples particularly enjoy the small cooking sessions in heritage homes and private tastings at boutique wineries. The cultural routes include quiet moments like sunset at Khor Virap Monastery and nights in charming Dilijan hotels, nicknamed Armenia's "Little Switzerland." There's a nice mix of planned activities and free time for wandering Yerevan's cafe streets or evening walks in Old Dilijan.
Young adult travelers go for our active routes that pair cultural visits with outdoor exploration. Popular spots include hiking Lastiver's forests and crossing the long suspension bridge at Khndzoresk. Many stay in mountain villages, getting real Armenian hospitality along with local cheese tastings and traditional barbecues. While they visit cultural spots like the ancient manuscripts at Matenadaran and Yerevan's art scene, the pace stays energetic. The Areni wine tastings are particularly popular - you'll learn about Armenia's 8000-year-old wine traditions while meeting other travelers your age.
Senior travelers appreciate our carefully paced luxury tours that keep comfort in mind. Most stay in quality Yerevan hotels and take well-planned day trips to places like Echmiadzin Cathedral and Geghard Monastery. The schedule allows proper time at each stop, with good transport and regular breaks. Our private guides adjust the walking speed and share detailed history in a way that works for everyone. The food experiences are particularly nice - private brandy tastings at the Yerevan Factory and meals in heritage houses let you connect with local families while enjoying comfortable seating and a relaxed pace.
Armenia's family tours mix learning and activities that work well for all ages. Kids really get into watching lavash bread come out of traditional tonir ovens, and parents tell us the cooking classes in village homes are a hit with everyone. Most families stay in Yerevan and take daily trips out - Lake Sevan's monastery climb gives kids a natural way to absorb Armenia's Christian history. The guides are great at adjusting their talks to keep younger ones engaged, especially at Garni Temple where children can explore Armenia's last standing pagan temple. The cable car journey to Tatev Monastery tends to be a family favorite, combining nice views with an exciting ride the kids talk about long after.

Spring hits the sweet spot in Armenia with mild temperatures that make exploring really comfortable. Our wine tours tap into 8,000 years of local tradition while the countryside comes into bloom - you'll discover family cellars in the Ararat Valley and try wines aged in traditional clay vessels called amphorae. The cultural routes take you through some remarkable places like Geghard Monastery, which sits right in the mountain rock, plus visits to Khor Virap where Mount Ararat creates a perfect photo backdrop. Our clients especially enjoy cooking classes in heritage homes and walking Dilijan's forest trails dotted with spring wildflowers. The food markets buzz with activity as fresh produce rolls in, making it prime time for trying local flavors.

Summer opens up every corner of Armenia, from high-altitude Lake Sevan down to the vineyard-covered Areni valleys. We plan our cultural tours around the long daylight hours - starting with Yerevan's pink tuff buildings in the cool morning light before heading up to mountain monasteries. Many clients pick routes including the "Wings of Tatev" cable car ride and also the intricate carved stones at Noratus. Wine tours really come into their own now with outdoor tastings in family vineyards, visits to modern wineries and traditional producers too. Our travelers often tell us how much they love evening walks through Yerevan's squares and markets in the pleasant summer warmth.

Fall brings rich colors across Armenia's landscapes and kicks off the wine harvest, making it perfect for both cultural and wine-focused tours. Our premium routes mix ancient monastery visits with hands-on grape picking at family vineyards. You'll find yourself in the Ararat Valley where vineyards turn crimson and gold against snowy peaks, or walking through Dilijan National Park's golden forests. The weather stays nice for exploring outdoor sites like Garni Temple and taking the ropeway up to Tsakhkadzor. Our travelers really enjoy the seasonal treats - fresh walnuts, dried fruits and also the new wine that starts appearing in village homes and local markets.
