Discover Matenadaran, a tribute to Mesrop Mashtots that boasts one of the richest collections of ancient manuscripts globally.

Excellent for passionates for history - If you are interested in the Urartu Kingdom you will enjoy the erebuni fortress and Museum.
Ana, the guide at the Manuscripts museum was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the subject.
The genocide museum, sadly interesting.
The driver did so many zig zags and accelerations we felt we were in a video game.

Beautiful and cozy city of Yerevan - Good afternoon
Thank you for organizing a tour of the beautiful city of Yerevan!
Everything was at the highest level, from consultation to the final point of our trip!
Anahit Kazaryan is one of the best guides I have met: they listened with interest to information about the sights of the city.
Special thanks to our super driver - Wardges. Very attentive and polite. (!Drives the car carefully!).
Our family has the most pleasant memories!

Her voice was clear snd understandable, in English. We went to Erepuni Museum and Fortress, Mayr Hayasdan monument, walked around Yerevan . All the time, Mania was telling us all the history behind the buildings, culture, and where we can visit later, along with restaurants we can dine at. Thank you so much Mania.

Fantastic - Wow! What can I say? Just a fabulous tour with a fabulous tour guide Elizabeth. She was so knowledgeable, her English was excellent and she was super friendly. So much history in Erubuni, and both museums were so interesting and full of ancient artifacts. The Genocide memorial was very emotional for us as both my husband and I are descendants of genocide survivors.We felt such a connection to our ancestral homeland and can’t wait to go back. We will certainly be booking another tour with Hyur and will request our favorite tour guide Elizabeth!!

Amazing experience - Manya is such a knowledgeable and caring guide , that from the very first minute she feel at home. Her dedication to work can be noticed from the work can be seen from various incidents in our trip today to old church, musuem etc that she would come back with answer to any question we ask and even she recollects and connects to our earlier queries and listens to us with utmost interest ; in fact she came jogging to meet us in time to cover-up for traffic jams. We give her 5 star for her service provided and dropped us to the nearest Armenian restaurant which we requested and even went out of the way to help us feel comfortable with our queries on Visa , next place to visit , place to market etc etc. We thank Manya from the bottom of our heart and also to the driver who formed a good and humble team for our visit.
