-In Yerevan we did a 2.5 hour Free Tour walking tour from Cascade Complex to other sites including Northern Avenue, Opera House, Republic Square, Blue Mosque, St. Sargis Vicarial Church and views towards Mount Ararat.
-We also went on two minibus day trips out of Yerevan: Arch of Charents/Garni Temple/Symphony of Stones/Geghard Chapel and Khor Virap/Areni-1 Cave/Noravank Monastery/Areni Wine Factory.
-During my time in Armenia we also traveled to Goris and Dilijan.
