Description

My name is Aram, and I am a lifelong resident eager to unveil the hidden treasures and vibrant culture of Gyumri.

We’ll kick off our adventure at Vardanants Square, the beating heart of Gyumri. Here, we’ll dive into the city's rich history, explore the Armenian Apostolic Seven Wounds Church, and stroll down Masters Street, lined with historic buildings and fascinating museums. We'll admire the charm of Villa Kars and take in the thought-provoking atmosphere of the Theater of Pondering.

The true essence of Gyumri lies in its lively spirit. Along the way, you'll hear the humorous tales that shape the character of the locals, visit the serene Gorka Park, and Varem Marem art studio.

Our journey will conclude at the Armenian Apostolic All Saviour's Church, a place that encapsulates Gyumri's soul. Throughout, I’ll share stories, historical insights, and insider tips that only a local could offer. And if you’re hungry for more, I’ll guide you to the best spots to savor authentic Armenian cuisine.

Why choose my tour? With me, you’ll experience the city from the perspective of someone who knows and loves every inch of it.

Amaizing tour

We couldn't have asked for more from this tour, he didn't only told us historical facts bus he also showed us the culture and the little details that makes this place so unique. He showed us courtyards, corners and hidden gems all while speaking with the people and asking to have a look at every hidden spot. At the end we told him our travelling plans for tomorrow, so he brought us to the station and took the time to talk for us with the drivers and find us the best route, the time and the price so that we can make it without problems

Excellent

I can only recommend. Aram came even I was the only one who booked the tour on this day. During the tour he even managed to organise for me a short visit by Eduard Zhamkochyan at home to see how he produces the famous mušurba.

Aram was a wonderful guide!

We were lucky to be the only 2 people on the tour. His English was great even though he spoke sometimes a bit too fast and seemed very focused on what he wanted to say next, that he sometimes missed our questions so we had to repeat them a couple of times until he took notice. He had a lot of interesting background knowledge to Armenia and answered all of our curious questions. he showed us so many secret corners of Gjumry that I wouldn't have discovered by myself. At the end I wanted to withdraw cash from an atm but unfortunately my card got stuck and he was kind enough to take a few minutes to help me with this issue. Thank you for the tour - would always do it again!

Great tour with Aram

Aram is a great guid. He knows a lot of historical facts and tells them with a good sense of humor. His tour is the perfect mixture of facts, local knowledge and fun. Thank you very much!

Gyumri is a Hidden Gem

I had a very nice tour with Aram. I was the only person but he still came for me. He introduced me places and people only locals would know and I did not know Gyumri had so rich history and so many easter eggs. I recommend everyone to visit Gyumri and take Aram’s tour
