The Great Beauty of Armenia: 7-Day Culture and Cuisine Tour

A beautiful unforgettable trip to sunny Armenia!

Good afternoon, everyone! I want to leave a review of an unforgettable classic tour to Armenia - The Great Beauty 2026. I came back from this tour the other day, and emotions don't let go, I want to be back in the fairy tale we were in! Our tour was from 4.04 to 10.04, but we arrived a day early and left 9.04 after the excursion program, flying a small company: me, my adult 25-year-old daughter, a friend and her 9-year-old daughter. Why did you mention age because everyone was very interested and comfortable, whether it was a child or an adult. I'll start from the beginning: we met at the airport in a comfortable car, and we were escorted as well. Checked into a nice little hotel in the heart of the city, near Casakad, all within walking distance, we never used a taxi, always walked in our spare time. On the first day of the tour, our wonderful guide Gore was waiting for us at the hotel reception, this young man was just captivated at first sight: always a smile on his face, glowing beautiful blue eyes, and how he loves his country Armenia, how lovingly he talked about it, knows so much, any question always had an exhaustive answer! Our driver Ashot is also worthy of much praise: a seasoned, calm, intelligent man, and most importantly a professional in his field. Very comfortable was the mini bus, which covered our km. And our super journey has begun! How many things we saw and visited, it's impossible to put it into words, the program is very well designed, and our guide Gore was also swapped for a couple of days so that we could get everywhere. Because they had an Easter holiday. So trust him unconditionally, if you have him, he knows what he's doing! And the way we were fed, there's just no words, it was always different places, not just cafes, but restaurants, even if it was the guest houses where we dined, it was delicious freshly prepared food. Abundance of everything: always several types of salad, cheese, different lavas, first, hot and dessert. Wine, freshly brewed coffee in Armenian, mmm, pile everything!) We barely left the table with enough. Don't ask why this is Armenian hospitality, they can't do it otherwise! Also the hotels deserve attention, changed them 4 times, all good level, everywhere very clean, in general in Armenia clean, such a people, it says a lot! Comfortable beds, it's important when you drive and walk a lot, you want to rest in comfort. Everything was top-notch, absolutely everything, we were happy and content to go home! My daughter even wanted to move to this sunny land!) I would like to express my great gratitude to Barev Armenia for the excellent organization, for the excellent holiday, a special thanks to our wonderful guide Gore, this is a super professional of his business, when they found out that we will have him, realized that the journey will be 100% excellent, driver Ashot for safety and comfort! Prosperity to your firm, your country Armenia, grateful customers. We'll definitely be back! I'm sorry for this big review, but I couldn't otherwise!) Love Ksenia from Moscow!)

Everyone is advised to come to Armenia at least once in their life!

Three days ago our trip to Armenia ended... ((incredible, sunny, warm and very delicious!!! The most memorable! Armenia is at the heart of it, and we will definitely come back here again. Some incredible people everywhere, very warm, very friendly and hospitable. We sincerely advise the travel agency that organized our holiday - Barev Armenia. They're professionals with capital letters, not a single hitch, not a single problem. We're very lucky to have an agency guide, Gore. He is just a walking encyclopedia, any question, and even no questions, because the stories were exhaustive, the trips were thought out to detail, everything was taken into account. What delicious food there is! Every day we dined in a new restaurant (!), it is the restaurant, and it is simply impossible to describe our feelings, it must be tasted – hash, dolma, lyula kebab, incredible soups, grilled baked vegetables, salads of freshest vegetables, delicious and freshest cheeses, house wine (naturally in each restaurant it is different). I even thought at first that we had mixed up tours and accidentally signed up for a tour)). We sincerely and sincerely recommend the tour we took -a classic winter tour. We visited holy places for Armenia - ancient temples, monasteries, unique monuments of culture and art and all this near the stunning nature ... unforgettable Ararat, ancient khachkars, deep gorges, crystal air ... impressions are very, very many, they are overwhelming. And also the very impressive Vernisage in Yerevan, where you can find real treasures, unforgettable Opera and Ballet Theatre, where we were lucky enough to see the ballet "Gayane", and the idiosyncratic market of dried fruit Tashir (we regret buying so little) But of course we did not see even a small part of all the treasures, so we must definitely come again)! We thank the agency, our beautiful guide Horus, and the Almighty, of course, for making things so perfect for us!!! With respect, Sergei and Svetlana from Moscow (dates of travel 20.02.26 – 26.02.26)

Travel to Armenia

My daughter and I really enjoyed the trip. The holiday was successful.The tour took place almost all over Armenia.Were in late September-early October.The weather was very comfortable.We admired the beautiful nature, mountains and waterfalls, plunged into the rich, sometimes very tragic history of Armenia, visited ancient monasteries and khachkars.We really liked the organization of the tour:everything is clear, without delay, good hotels throughout the route.We especially want to note how the food was organized, like a Caucasian feast.We came for lunch, and as a large family, sat down at one big table, drank homemade wine and ate delicious food! That was great! And, of course, I want to express my great gratitude to our guide Gore for his professionalism, for his love of his country, for his excellent knowledge of history and excellent presentation of the material! He was a great pleasure to travel with! And Barev Company we wish success and prosperity!Thank you for your hospitality!

Amazing first experience traveling through Armenia! A place to go back to

For a long time I was looking for a company that organizes such tours, which are designed for a week, with meals, accommodation, guide, transfer, and what particularly liked - is that for a few days we traveled with overnight stays in other cities. There was a great hotel in Yerevan, with a very convenient location, right by the Cascade. The view from my window was right over Ararat. The staff are very polite and sympathetic. All breakfasts, lunches and dinners were delicious and varied. Sometimes there was a buffet, which was also a pleasure. The first day was a welcome dinner with live music. We had an amazing guide Gor Karapetyan and an equally pleasant driver who accompanied us all the days - Ashot Sakanyan. The guide is very educated, enjoyable to listen to, knows the answer to any question, watched our comfort. The tour program itself is very full. I've seen a lot, I've been impressed and I'd even go to all these places again. This “Classic tour of Armenia” took place from September 12 to 18 - a comfortable time of year for travel in Armenia, there is no longer such heat. On this trip I celebrated my birthday and the tour organizers did not ignore it - thank you very much for that, it was very nice! Tour organizers are always in touch, helping with all questions. I recommend this company for travel in Armenia!

Response from the operator: Спасибо большое за такой подробный и душевный отзыв! 💛 Мы очень рады, что вам понравился наш классический тур по Армении и что путешествие оставило столько приятных впечатлений. Особенно приятно слышать добрые слова в адрес Гора Карапетяна и Ашота Саканяна — они действительно профессионалы, любящие свою работу. Отдельная благодарность, что доверили нам организацию вашего отдыха и даже празднование дня рождения — для нас большая честь быть частью таких моментов! 🎉 Будем рады видеть вас снова в Армении — возможно, уже на одном из наших гастрономических, винных или других туров. С теплом, Команда Barev Armenia Tour
