10 Walking Tours in Yerevan That You Shouldn't Miss

September 22, 2021 Tynisha Seiler

Long fought over by warring empires, the city of Yerevan survived centuries of foreign occupation, finally becoming independent with the fall of the Soviet Union. This capital city, a center of Armenian culture, has celebrated its freedom with a flurry of construction and a growing population. Despite this push forward, history survives in Yerevan - The Institute of Ancient Manuscripts houses books dating back to the 9th century, and the ruins of the Erebuni Fortress, built in 782 BC, still stand.

Feel Armenia arranged an one day private tour for me around Yerevon, Armenia in January 2020. This tour gave me an overview about the mountains, the lakes, the culture, the history, the religion and the food. Feel Armenia did a great job to present Armenia. The tour guide, Ms. Hasmik Evoyan is very knowledgeable, helpful and communicates very well. Armenia is beautiful country. Armenians are friendly and wonderful people with great culture heritage . I will definitely return to Armenia for longer stay.

We love to travel. Armenia is the 51st country on my list, but it still managed to surprise me. Today we had interesting and intense time, but we didn’t tired. We saw many beautiful places - the endless azure Lake Sevan, we were climbed by the cable car to the mountain, where skiing in the city of Tsaghkadzor takes place in winter, admiring the beauty of the Caucasus Mountains, we also visited the stunningly beautiful monastery in the rock, where the spear that the warrior pricked for a long time was kept crucified Jesus Christ, we got real aesthetic pleasure from visiting the Greek-style temple in Garni village and many other interesting places. I can definitely recommend this tour! I wish good impressions to all the tourists!!!!
