F.A.Q

How to prepare for the tour

MEETING TIME AND PLACE

We meet at 8am at  Samaia Garden.
Please be on time. In case of any delays, please inform your guide. Otherwise, the group will depart without you.  

 

PASSPORTS & VISAS

Don't forget to bring your passports. Otherwise, you will not be able to cross the border. Some nationalities require a visa to enter Armenia. You can check here if you need one. It is your responsibility to obtain all necessary documents.  

 

WEATHER

Here is the weather forecast.
Please check it the night before the tour to be well prepared.  

 

WHAT TO WEAR

Please wear clothes appropriate to the weather. We recommend warm clothes and comfortable walking shoes.

 

FOOD & DRINKS

Always make sure you have enough drinking water. 1.5-2 liters should be enough for the day. We will stop for lunch in a local restaurant, where you will be able to order a la carte. Bring with you enough cash to pay for your lunch and to leave tip for the staff (in Armenia that's the main source of income for waiters).

 

MONEY

Take some cash with you. Usually, 40-100 GEL is enough unless you plan to buy souvenirs. You will be able to exchange the money after crossing the border. If you don't spend everything, you can change it back later on. ATMs are spares outside of Yerevan. Don't count on finding one once you run out of cash. 

 

OTHER ESSENTIAL ITEMS

If you are prone to motion sickness, please have medicine with you. If the day is rainy, make sure to bring a raincoat or an umbrella.
