Alaverdi Armenia

This is part of a local community economic initiative to improve your experience when visiting our region. In addition, unemployment in the region is high and to encourage youngsters to stay in their home town it is essential that job opportunities are developed. Currently most tour guides come from Yerevan and they provide generic tours. The locals do not benefit and tourists do not get to experience the passion and pride for their home that a local tour guide can share. All of our tours are unique: they have been developed over a two year period involving significant research into the locations, history and with the support and assistance of the National Matenadaran, the Armenian Apostolic Church, the Armenian National Archives and History museums, the regional government, local experts and numerous technical, research and general publications from the 19th to the 21st Century. We want you to enjoy your stay here, recommend it to your friends and stay longer.

Mikoyan St. Sanahin, Alaverdi Armenia

Genuinely something completely different! We see influences of the Soviet Union on our travels through Armenia, but it is part of Armenia’s history that is rarely talked about and often ignored. The Soviet Union left its mark with the concrete tower blocks we see in the regional industrialised towns, but did you know that Armenia had a great influence on the Soviet Union. Two remarkable Armenian brothers you have probably never heard of, born in the small village of Sanahin, who changed not just the Soviet Union, but impacted on world history. Please let us introduce you to ANASTAS and ARTEM MIKOYAN and be prepared to be astonished. ANASTAS was one of the longest serving members of the Soviet Politburo, from the early Stalin years through to Brezhnev. His life and career were extraordinary and never fail to surprise our visitors. ARTEM was the creative genius and co-designer of MIG fighter jets. One of our exhibits is a genuine MiG-21 and we're ENGLISH FRIENDLY
