About this experience

Yerevan Waling City Tours

We love the city, and nothing brings us more joy than sharing the heart of Armenia with valued guests like you. That's the true purpose behind this tour.

At Tourbin, the guests come first. This is why we offer the complete Yerevan walking experience with only a small, symbolic booking fee, ensuring a genuine and accessible journey for every participant.

This is the full discovery of Yerevan. You'll see all the essential sights from grand Soviet-era monuments to ancient spiritual sites and hear the capital's millennia old story from a passionate local guide. It's the same comprehensive tour others offer at a premium, but for us, the real value is in the welcome, not the price.

We believe every curious traveller deserves this authentic connection. This is your invitation: come, experience the real Yerevan we love, understand its enduring soul, and become part of its ongoing story.

Join us. Discover Yerevan not as a tourist, but as the honored guest.
