Our Main Tour covers around 25 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 2801 years old city. It’s a fast-walking-info-packed-3-hour-tour.
We finish the tour in a bar or a cafe and give you a free copy of Backpackers’ Map of Yerevan and insider info on how to do things in Armenia. You can stay longer in the bar if you want.
