Experience the ancient Christian heritage and stunning mountain landscapes of Armenia with our expertly guided small group tours and holiday in Armenia packages.
Armenia tours reveal one of the Caucasus region's most rewarding and least-visited destinations — a small, landlocked nation where medieval monasteries rise from volcanic gorges, UNESCO World Heritage sites outnumber tourist crowds, and the capital Yerevan buzzes with café culture and Soviet-era grandeur. As the world's oldest Christian country, Armenia carries its extraordinary heritage lightly, woven into the everyday landscape from Khor Virap on the Ararat plain to the cliff-carved sanctuaries of Geghard.
Our small group Armenia tours explore this heritage with depth and pace — visiting Yerevan, Khor Virap, Geghard, Garni, Lake Sevan, Haghpat, Echmiadzin, Gyumri and Dilijan across itineraries ranging from 10 to 16 days. Armenia also combines naturally with Georgia and Azerbaijan on our wider Caucasus journeys, offering one of our most distinctive regional experiences.
Armenia
Small-group departures led by local experts, plus private tailor-made itineraries shaped around your interests, pace and dates.
Armenia adopted Christianity as its state religion in 301 AD — more than a decade before Rome. The monasteries, churches and khachkars (stone cross reliefs) that resulted from this are among the finest examples of sacred architecture found anywhere in the world.
Unlike much of Europe and the wider Mediterranean, Armenia's extraordinary heritage sites remain relatively free from mass tourism. Our Armenia tour packages allow you to experience places like Geghard and Khor Virap with the space and quiet they deserve.
From the volcanic plateau above Yerevan to the forested gorges of Dilijan and the high, luminous expanse of Lake Sevan, Armenia's scenery is as compelling as its monasteries — and often just as empty.
Armenia's position between Georgia and Azerbaijan makes it an ideal starting or finishing point for a broader Caucasus journey. Our Armenia travel packages combine seamlessly with our Georgia and Azerbaijan tours for an exceptional regional trip.

From the field
Sweet spot: May
Armenia has a continental climate with four distinct seasons. Spring (April–May) brings mild temperatures and green landscapes after the winter thaw — ideal walking and sightseeing conditions. Summer (June–August) is warm to hot, particularly in Yerevan and the lower valleys. Autumn (September–October) is considered the finest season, with cool, clear days, golden hillsides and excellent visibility across the Ararat plain. Winter brings heavy snowfall to the mountains and cold temperatures throughout.
Our Armenia holidays with Georgia and Azerbaijan depart in April, May, June, August, September and October, timed to take advantage of the best spring and autumn conditions.

Armenia's compact geography and extraordinary concentration of heritage sites make it particularly well-suited to a private, tailor-made itinerary. A dedicated traveller might choose to linger in the Debed Canyon visiting Haghpat and nearby monasteries at their own pace, spend additional days in Yerevan exploring the Matenadaran and the city's wine bars, or combine Armenia with Georgia as part of a private Caucasus journey built entirely around their interests.
