Yerevan: Highlights and Culture Walking Tour with Tastings – Ararat Province, Armenia

EXPERIENCE

I am cultural storyteller, passionate about music, art, history and architecture. I love to tell stories about the fascinating people and wonderful places that give Yerevan its unique fabric. As a storyteller through words, images and music, it is a great pleasure for me to meet new people and to share with them some of Yerevan’s most exciting stories. *On my tour you’ll see the best highlights and hidden gems* Hope we shall meet soon!

We set off to explore and we begin our walk from beautiful Republic Square the (central town square in Yerevan which contains a pool with musical fountains) through the city center and up the strikingly modern Cascades for views of Biblical Mount Ararat.
