What's usually included
Transport along the route, Russian-speaking guide, entry tickets to main objects, lunch at a local cafe. Not included: accommodation (if multi-day), individual wishes (wineries, safari, weddings). Full list — from the specific partner in their offer.
Catalog prices are «from» — the starting price of the most economical partner. The actual one depends on group size, dates and season. Partners offer their price in response to your request.
When to go
May and October — the golden mean: clear visibility, moderate temperatures, few tourists. June—August — peak season, we recommend booking at least 2 weeks in advance. In winter most mountain tours turn into «here's the place — look at it in snow», which is also beautiful.
Group meeting — in Yerevan. Individual pick-up from Zvartnots airport or your hotel is possible. Requests from 2 partners arrive within an hour after sending.
