You will walk through the backstreets of Yerevan and absorb the charm of the non-touristy city. You will see the place where the premiere of the comedy "Woe from Wit" took place in the presence of the author.
At the end of this walk you will admire the bird's eye view of the capital city, and if you are lucky with clear weather, you will admire Mount Ararat.

Blue Route: A classic immersive tour of the main "must haves" of Yerevan.

But not only the history of the city will be discussed. The guide will reveal numerous secrets and give you invaluable lifehacks.
And as a bonus, you will get a master class on creating real Armenian carpets using ancient technology.

In each of the two routes, the guide will prompt:

• Where to buy the most delicious wine and dried fruits, souvenirs
• Where else to go and visit outside the city
• How to order in local restaurants
• How to bargain at the markets
• Introduction to the intricacies of the Armenian mentality

The excursion is fully pedestrian. There are convenient stops and photo pauses along the way to get a good perspective of the sights. At the end of the tour you will have a Q&A session: you will be able to ask the guide any questions about Yerevan, discuss the tour and exchange impressions!
