About this experience
When it comes to ancient Yerevan, age is just a number. In the light of the evening lights, you will notice that the old city keeps up with modern trends, appeals to the youth, and lives brightly and modernly; yet it does not forget that it witnessed the golden times of the Great Silk Road! Capturing the rhythm of the Armenian capital, where it is beautiful both day and night, you will discover the soul of Yerevan and leave a piece of yourself here. You will also collect a set of marks on the city map - 'footprints from the Guinness Book of World Records' or 'where to find Armenian 'sneakers'.
What to expect
Antiquity and youth of Yerevan
My city is European with hints of Asia, and the evening lights will only emphasize the contrasts and reveal the harmony of the western and eastern, new and old. You will visit famous landmarks, seeing them from a less known angle, in the warm colors of the evening lighting. We will stroll around the famous Cascade and Armenian courtyards, take a look at the Opera House from unusual angles. We will see the building of the National Puppet Theater and find out what makes it remarkable. We will look at the State Children's Library, and from above, we will see one of the metro stations. And if you wish - we can listen to funny everyday situations from an Armenian family's life over a cup of coffee or the most delicious ice cream.
Rhythm and customs of the capital
I will help you 'decode' Yerevan - delve into the habits and views of the locals and find the most useful places on the city map. I will explain how to choose homemade wine and why a visitor's desire to buy 'churchkhela' from market stalls will offend a real Armenian - he will pretend not to understand what is being said. After the tour, it will be easier for you to decide how to spend the following days in the capital and its surroundings. And of course, in a country through which the Great Silk Road trade route passed, it would be a sin not to tell you how to haggle correctly. I can take you to trusted places where you can enjoy local delicacies; I will bargain myself, you will quickly grasp the essence and repeat it at any time. Tried and tested many times!
