Tour Overview
With this 11-day adventure, you’ll travel overland from Georgia to Armenia and experience off-the-beaten-track landscapes and welcoming, local people. Wander the streets of 3000-year-old Kutaisi, see some iconic monasteries like Khor Virap and Sevanavank and leave the crowds to explore an abandoned Soviet spa town. Join a Molokan family for lunch to learn about their traditions, hike in search of medieval monasteries, meet local wine makers with two wine tastings in Georgia and Armenia, and try your hand at Dolma making with a local cooking demonstration. With a night on the shores of Lake Sevan and a range of diverse experiences that highlight the best of these two amazing destinations, you’ll be in for an adventure to remember.
