Discover Soviet Yerevan

It is hard to imagine Yerevan during the Soviet days. Today, the city is lined with vibrant and busy shops selling a wide range of wares. Each shop displaying colorful logos and signage, bringing color and life to the streets day and night! This was not so during the Soviet times. Life was a little less colorful! With a bit of imagination, our ‘pioneer’ guide will help you discover this ‘rosy’ city. Visit ‘Lenin Square’, although Lenin has long vacated his residency. None the less you will have the chance to meet what ‘remains’ of him, tucked away in a location most locals wouldn’t even know about!  Explore the city through the ‘grand’ metro system and learn about its history. Visit structures and factories established in the Soviet Era, travelling to locations in the city normal tourists rarely reach. Hear about the lifestyle and humor from the past and experience a glimpse of how life was under this regime. However no experience is truly complete without a bite of food! Enjoy a typical and popular Soviet Era snack to fuel you during the tour.
