About this activity

Discover Yerevan in a different and more authentic way.

This experience combines the highlights of Yerevan with the opportunity to explore the metro like a local, offering a deeper understanding of daily life in the capital. Along the way, you'll discover historic landmarks, cultural treasures, and hidden details that many travelers never notice.

Perfect for curious travelers who want to go beyond the usual tourist routes and experience a side of Yerevan that is both authentic and memorable.
