Who We Are
Armenia Specialists,
Born & Based Here

Founded in Yerevan in 2006, Aratta Tours is an Armenia-only specialist run entirely by local experts. Armenia is our sole focus, our passion, and our home. Our guides were born and raised here. They know which monastery falls silent at dawn, which family makes the finest gata, and which mountain road leaves a lasting impression.

Because we work exclusively in Armenia, we have built long-standing relationships with family-run guesthouses, boutique hotels, local wineries, regional restaurants, artisans, and community hosts across the country. These trusted partnerships let us create journeys that go beyond the usual sightseeing route while supporting locally owned businesses and genuine cultural experiences.

The same team that designs your trip plans and manages every itinerary from our Yerevan office. Being based here means we can respond quickly to seasonal conditions, regional events, road updates, and personal requests. This local presence keeps every journey running smoothly from your first inquiry to your departure. You also benefit from recommendations based on firsthand local knowledge instead of fixed, pre-packaged routes, so every itinerary feels more personal and closely connected to the places you visit.

“I came knowing almost nothing about Armenia and left with it as my favourite country ever. The guide, the pace, the food, the silence in those monasteries — I cannot recommend Aratta highly enough.”

“Genuinely one of the best travel experiences of my life. The guesthouse on Lake Sevan, hiking through the forest with nobody else around — this is what travel is supposed to feel like.”

“The cooking class with the grandmother was worth the entire trip. We made dolma, drank homemade wine, and laughed for three hours around a table in a village I cannot find on any map. The real Armenia.”

“We travelled as a couple and were treated like old friends. Standing almost alone at Geghard as the chanting echoed off the rock is a memory we’ll keep for life. Every hotel, every meal, every detail was handled flawlessly.”

“At sixty-eight I wasn’t sure I could keep up, but the team tailored every walk to suit us perfectly. Wildflowers, ancient chapels and picnics with views I still can’t quite believe were real. Simply the trip of a lifetime.”

Good To Know
Before You Book
Do I need a visa to visit Armenia?

Citizens of the EU, UK, US, Canada, Australia and many other countries enter Armenia visa-free; others use a simple online e-visa. When you book, we send exact, up-to-date guidance for your specific passport so there are no surprises at the border.

When is the best time of year to travel?

May–June and September–October offer the mildest weather and the best light for photography, while summer is ideal for high-altitude hiking and winter for snow and fewer crowds. We run tours year-round and will recommend the best dates for the experiences you care about.

How large are your groups?

Small by design — typically a maximum of 8–10 travellers — so you get personal attention and flexibility. Every tour is also available as a fully private, tailor-made departure for couples, families, friends or companies.

How do payment and the deposit work?

Reserve your place with a small, refundable deposit — fully refundable up to 30 days before departure — and settle the balance closer to travel. We accept card and bank transfer, and offer corporate invoicing for company and group bookings.

Is Armenia safe for travellers?

Yes. Armenia is consistently rated one of the safest countries in the region, with warm hospitality and low crime. You’ll also have 24/7 local support from our Yerevan team throughout your trip, reachable by phone or WhatsApp.

Can you organise company or large-group trips?

Absolutely. Corporate incentives, conferences, MICE and series departures are handled by one dedicated coordinator with a single invoice and full logistics — see our Corporate & Group Travel section above, or message us for a proposal within 48 hours.

What’s included in the price of a tour?

Our tours are genuinely all-inclusive on the ground — private transport, an English-speaking local guide, accommodation, entrance fees to every site on your itinerary, and most meals featuring regional Armenian cuisine. International flights and travel insurance are the main exclusions. Every proposal spells out exactly what is and isn’t included, with no hidden extras.

How do I get to Armenia, and will you meet me at the airport?

Most travellers fly into Zvartnots International Airport (EVN) in Yerevan, well connected to Europe, the Gulf and Russia. Yes — a private airport transfer is included on every tour. Your driver meets you in the arrivals hall with a name sign and takes you straight to your hotel, at any hour.

How fit do I need to be, and can you adapt the pace?

Our cultural tours are suitable for most fitness levels, with gentle walking at monasteries and villages. Hiking tours are graded so you can pick a comfortable challenge, from easy valley walks to full-day mountain treks. Tell us your preferences and we’ll tailor distances, driving times and rest days to suit your group.

Can you cater for dietary requirements and allergies?

Of course. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and other dietary needs are easily accommodated, and Armenian cuisine is naturally rich in fresh vegetables, herbs and grains. Let us know when you book and we’ll brief every restaurant, guesthouse and host family in advance.

What currency is used, and can I pay by card?

The local currency is the Armenian dram (AMD). Cards are widely accepted in Yerevan and larger towns, while a little cash is handy for village markets, artisans and tips. ATMs are easy to find in cities, and your guide is always on hand to help with exchange and everyday costs.

What languages do your guides speak?

All our guides are fluent, English-speaking locals, and many also speak Russian, French, German, Spanish or Italian. Tell us your preferred language when you enquire and we’ll match you with the right guide — so nothing about Armenia’s history, food or culture ever gets lost in translation.

Will I have mobile data and Wi-Fi during the trip?

Yes. Armenia has fast, inexpensive 4G/5G coverage, and a local SIM or eSIM costs only a few dollars — your guide can help you pick one up on arrival. Wi-Fi is standard in hotels, guesthouses and most cafes, though signal can be limited on remote mountain trails, which many travellers come to love.

What kind of accommodation will I stay in?

We hand-pick a mix of boutique hotels, characterful town hotels and family-run guesthouses, always chosen for comfort, cleanliness and a genuine sense of place rather than anonymous chains. Tell us your preferences and budget and we’ll tailor every night’s stay — from simple and authentic to fully upscale.

Do I need travel insurance, and can you help arrange it?

We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance covering medical care, cancellation and your belongings, and we ask every traveller to arrive with a policy in place. We’re glad to point you towards trusted providers, and your Yerevan team is on hand throughout your trip should you ever need support with a claim.

Are your tours suitable for families with children and solo travellers?

Absolutely. We welcome families, couples, friends and solo travellers alike, and happily adapt the pace, activities and driving times to suit younger children or a relaxed family rhythm. Solo guests are in good company on our small-group departures, and we’re glad to advise on private options and room arrangements too.
