  • Gyumri, Gyumri, Armenia
    Gyumri is located in the north-western part of Armenia, in the middle of Shirak valley, 126 km far from Yerevan. From the ethnical point of view it is the most colorful city in Armenia. The local traditions are deeply rooted here, national spirit is reflcted in everything. Walking along the streets of old Gyumri one still seems to hear the voice of the smiths' hammers, it seems that a cart will appear from the street corner and the carter will call to show around the city. The old houses, a part of which fortunately resisted the devastating earthquake in 1988, speak of the high architectural achievements of the city. These buildings are notable with their architectural solutions, combination of colorful stone and masterfully elaborated bas-reliefs. Gyumri has always been in the center of cultural events.

  • Marmashen Monastery, Marmashen, Armenia
    On the picturesque bank of Akhuryan river there is the magnificent monastery Marmashen built by Duke Vahram Pahlavuni. It is a huge complex, the construction of which started in 986 and finished in 1029. The main church is a domed hall. The facades of the church are elaborated with triangular niches, which endow the edifice with special liveliness. The survived eastern and northern walls of the second church, which is adjacent to the main church, prove that both with its composition and architectural details it is the smaller duplication of the main church. This complex built with well-hewn red tufa on the background of the blue sky casts an enigmatic impression.

All the places we visited were beautiful: the town of Gyumri, Marmashen Monastery, the Black Fortress. The views on our way to Gyumri were amazing: fields and mountains covered with snow. Our guide Maria was good and gave us lots of interesting information about Armenia in general. However, once in Gyumri she gave us bare minimum of data about the place and for 2 hours we were walking around with lots of questions unanswered. Unfortunately the driver in this trip was not really good, his driving wasn't quite safe (jamming the breaks every now and then, outracing other cars).

Stunning views from the car window, air conditioning and water - convenient and beautiful. Driver Amik is very interesting talking on the way, suggested a great restaurant. Gyumri is a posh city. Ancient churches, ceramics museum and very beautiful central pedestrian streets. The monastery is striking and the views are extraordinary.

Ride with guide Amik. From the first, I want to point out that he's a very good driver, speaking as someone who might get sick in a car. Driven to all the locations, very interesting to tell their story. When we decided to dine in Gyumri, advised places where we could eat deliciously, and afterwards, when we were delayed, very politely and without problem said that it was okay, and waited for us. The Vacation Package itself includes a museum, free time in the city, where you can choose from several ancient temples as well as various museums and galleries. There is cultural life in the city. On the way home, Amik played beautiful music as we passed the mountain scenery. Trips left a very strong impression. Thank you for accompanying me.
