Our Main Tour covers around 20 points of interest in the small center of Yerevan (Pokr Kentron; the circle on the map), plus detailed info about history, art, cuisine, architecture, cultural and night life, etc. It takes you to the main sites (Republic Square, Northern Avenue, Opera, Cascades, etc.) as well as to back alleys and hidden places, telling you interesting historic and contemporary stories about our 2802 years old city. An optional ending of the tour is in a hip bar or a family run local restaurant, where we give you free maps of Yerevan and answer your further questions about Armenia.
