A local guide "Ari Gyumri" (Come to Gyumri) will meet you at your chosen location, with a dignified Gyumri dialect and with humor will accompany you to the heart of the city, the territory of the Kumayri Museum-Reserve. Walking around the historic district, you will see the narrow streets with the unique urban architecture preserved in Armenia and the rich environment, our guide tell about how Gyumri, renamed 4 times, went through 4 interesting historical periods, but retained its face. The handmade patterns, doors and sculptures of the city will take you into a world of art and crafts that will be peppered with stories about the lives and works of Gyumri's artisans. On Varpetats Street, you will also have the opportunity to visit the Shiraz, Avetik Isahakyan or Mher Mkrtchyan Museum (your choice). A walk filled with unique stories about the city will be even more enjoyable when our local guides show you the hidden treasures of Gyumri. Moving 100-200 years back in time through the narrow ancient streets, you will be transported to everyday life in Gyumri as you stroll along Ryzhkov Avenue.
Here we will visit everyone's favorite caffee "Honey and Plants" where we will taste delicious dishes made of Shirak products. Then the road will continue to Vardanants Square to show two churches facing each other in the same square. We will walk to the central park, which is one of the oldest places in the city, passing famous movie sets and buildings where important historical events are held. We will enter Armenia's only inclusive caffee - Aregak, where the sweets we buy will warm our souls. We will have a chance to talk to some of Gyumri's famous craftsmen in person, in the oldest barbershop in the city, where time seems to have stopped. And when we move to the Technological Center, our guide will tell you about the current development of the city with the help of modern technology. At the same time, right on the opposite street, you'll hear the history of the Dowry Building. Then you will enter the central park, which will lead you to the old Gyumri Theater where, in 1912, the opera "Anush" was first staged. We will take the stairs back to Vardanants Square, where you will hear about Leninakan, the Amenaprkich Church, and learn how the earthquake affected the lives of local residents. Of course, throughout the tour you will enjoy the directness of the locals, if you are lucky, humorous episodes. Our guides are very sensitive to the preferences of visitors and any story and itinerary will be tailored to your preferences and interests.
