Armenia is not just a country — it’s an entire story woven from ancient legends and modern experiences.
The mysterious past of Armenia captivates the imagination, as it is one of the oldest civilizations in the world. Armenian historical sources mention events that predate the rise of many well-known cultures.
It was here, in the year 301, that Christianity became the state religion, making Armenia the first Christian nation in the world. This monumental event left a profound mark on the country’s culture, architecture, and history. Many Armenian monasteries are not just places of worship, but full architectural complexes that serve as reminders of a rich and glorious past. One cannot overlook the famous khachkars — intricately carved stone crosses that are a unique form of Armenian art.
Armenia is also considered one of the birthplaces of winemaking. In 2010, archaeologists discovered the oldest known wine production facility in Areni, Armenia. Unique grape varieties and winemaking traditions are still passed down through generations.
Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, is a vibrant and modern city that blends ancient traditions with contemporary lifestyle. While it preserves magnificent historical landmarks, it also buzzes with life — full of stylish restaurants, lively cafes, and energetic nightlife.
Happy Holidays is a travel agency based in Yerevan, Armenia. We organize private tours and group tours across the country, working with travelers from all over the world who come to discover Armenia for the first time — and often return for more.
We started as a team of people who simply love Armenia and wanted to share it honestly. Not the polished version from a brochure, but the real country — its monastery roads that wind through mountain fog, its wine cellars carved into rock, its cities full of stories that guides rarely tell. That desire to show Armenia as it actually is has stayed at the center of everything we do.
Today Happy Holidays offers two ways to explore Armenia. Our private tours are built around each traveler individually — the route, the pace, the stops, and the language are all arranged according to what you want. Our group tours run on a fixed weekly schedule, departing every day of the week to different destinations, so solo travelers and small groups can join a structured, affordable, and social experience without planning anything in advance.
Both options include professional local guides, comfortable vehicles, and pickup from your hotel or any address in Yerevan.
Our guides are not simply people who know facts. They are Armenians who grew up near these monasteries, studied this history, and genuinely enjoy sharing it. They speak English and Russian fluently, adapt to each group, and know which road to take when the main one is worth skipping.
We are located at 50 Baghramyan Avenue, Yerevan. You can reach us by phone, WhatsApp, or email — before, during, and after your tour.
Armenia is worth seeing carefully. We will help you do that.
At Happy Holidays, our mission is to inspire and empower every traveler to explore the world with confidence, curiosity, and purpose. We believe that travel is more than just a journey—it’s a way to connect with different cultures, create unforgettable memories, and discover new perspectives.
We are committed to providing personalized, seamless, and sustainable travel experiences that cater to every adventurer’s dream—whether you’re seeking remote escapes, bustling city vibes, or off-the-beaten-path adventures. With a passion for exploration and a dedication to exceptional service, we strive to make every trip not only possible but truly extraordinary.
Let’s make your next journey unforgettable.
We want you to feel what we feel for Armenia.
We want you to walk its ancient roads, breathe its fresh mountain air, taste the apricots right from the tree, and listen to the stories whispered through centuries-old stones. Our mission is simple: to help you feel at home here.
From the moment you reach out to us, until the moment you wave goodbye, we’re with you—not just as a company, but as friends.
Back in 2009, tourism in Armenia was still growing, and we noticed how much visitors needed someone local to rely on—someone who could help them with everything from where to stay to how to get around, and most importantly, what not to miss.
We started with just a few team members, a love for our country, and a desire to do things right. Step by step, guest by guest, Happy Holidays began to grow—not through big ads or fancy promises, but through word of mouth, trust, and genuine care.
Today, we’ve welcomed thousands of guests from all over the world. Some come for a short visit, some return again and again. Many have become friends.
We don’t aim to be the biggest tour company. We want to be the one you remember.
If you leave Armenia with good memories, with new stories, and maybe even a few tears at the airport—then we’ve done our job.
And if one day you come back, or send a friend our way, that’s the biggest reward we could ask for.
