Yerevan

Yerevan is such a wonderful city! We especially loved our visit to the Ararat Brandy Factory — it was perfect. The tour was interesting, the tasting was amazing, and we enjoyed it so much.

Я очень люблю Ереван и Армению. Здесь у меня родственники, и я иногда их навещаю. Особенно во время праздников город словно преображается. Но должна заметить, что цены по сравнению с двухлетней давностью ужасно выросли — наверное, процентов на 30. Сейчас здесь уже дороговато, но я всё же живу у родственников, поэтому на отель тратиться не приходится. А город остаётся моим любимым: в этот раз мы с ними взяли индивидуальный тур, и я просто наслаждалась Ереваном.

мой любимый город

Мы в Ереване уже, наверное, в четвёртый раз. И каждый раз я поражаюсь, насколько этот город прекрасен, особенно ночью, когда просто гуляешь по улицам и чувствуешь, что прикасаешься к истории. Это невероятное место, и я очень благодарна Happy Holidays за то, что они сделали мой последний визит по-настоящему незабываемым. Я также брала у них туры в Хор-Вирап и Нораванк и была в полном восторге от этих красот. Я искренне рекомендую!

Yerevan

We had previously been to Yerevan. Back in 2022, it didn’t feel as beautiful as it does now, because this year we took a private tour with a guide. Now I truly understand what Yerevan is about — it’s one thing to just walk around on your own, but it’s completely different when someone tells you the stories of a city that is even older than Rome. Once you are in Yerevan, take this tour and you will really understand what the city is all about.
