10/10 would do again - Tigran is a great guide and this is by far the most memorable walking tour experience that I have done. 10/10 would recommend. Not only discussed history, current affairs and architecture, but also included a few off the beaten path places that i otherwise would not have seen in Yerevan. I highly recommend this tour.

Outstanding local experience! - Tigran is an awesome tour guide. You can see his knowledge and passion as he talks about all of the cultural sites in Yerevan. When I told him that I was interested in the local cuisine, he adjusted the tour to take me to some awesome local spots! This was a great experience and I look forward to doing it again when I am in town!

Super informative and fun tour! - I really enjoyed this tour. We covered everything from architecture and history to current events, culture and food ☺️ Tigran is a wonderful guide. The information we got were imbued with a healthy dose of humor and he tried to answer all our questions, no matter the topic. The cold and snowy weather added another dimension to the tour. All in all, the tour was exactly what I hoped for and I highly recommend it.
