You step off the minivan into a wide city square and Mount Ararat fills the skyline — its snowcap pushing the air colder than the street suggests. Over seven days this tour moves at a steady, thoughtful pace: city promenades and open-air markets, lakeshore breezes at Sevan, and the hush of medieval monasteries carved into stone.
