Armenia cultural tour

Planet

CARBON REDUCTION

Group transportation reduces emissions while walking tours in cities and villages further minimize environmental impact.

Vegetarian and vegan food is available.

ENVIRONMENT AND WILDLIFE

Accommodations on this tour are chosen for their commitment to eco-friendly initiatives, including energy-saving systems, waste reduction, and locally sourced materials.

We reduce waste and pollution by asking our tourists to minimize the use of plastic bags, plates, bottles, etc.

Armenia is a mountainous country and is rich in spring pure water. The water that flows here from the tap is clean and drinkable. Also in the capital and other cities, there are special fountains with drinking water almost on every street. That's why we ask our tourists to use reusable bottles and fill them with water every day, and not buy water in disposable plastic bottles. To be on the safe side we advise travelers to bring drugged or metal filters to be sure water doesn't harm their stomach. Thus, all this helps to minimize littering and plastic use in the country.
