The adventure

A true hidden gem, Armenia is packed with ancient history, breathtaking landscapes, and cultural traditions unlike anywhere else. This seven-day adventure starts and ends in Yerevan but takes you deep into the countryside, uncovering bucket-list-worthy experiences along the way. Stand in Republic Square and learn how its turbulent past shaped modern Armenia, immerse yourself in tradition with a Duduk masterclass and an inside look at Armenian carpet weaving, and connect with inspiring women at the WINNET Goris Foundation. From wandering centuries-old monasteries to exploring charming towns, every moment is a chance to bond with fellow travellers and locals alike. This is Armenia — authentic, unforgettable, and waiting to be explored.

Arrive at any time, and meet your CEO and group in the evening at a welcome meeting. Afterwards, head out for a short orientation walk around the hotel area on the way to an optional group dinner.

Set out on foot this morning with a walking tour of the city. Discover the historical significance of Republic Square before visiting the Megerian Carpet Museum to enjoy the rich traditions of the Armenian rug weaving culture. Continue to the Cascade complex for stunning views of the city, learn all about the stone-carved Armenian Khachkar, and try your hand at playing the Duduk instrument with a local musician. Enjoy free time for the rest of the day and evening.
