I'm Suren — Professional Tour Guide in Armenia

If you are planning to travel to Armenia and need a local guide, my website is for you! Armenian Explorer offers the opportunity to contact your guide directly, discuss upcoming events, or create a personalized tour package with customizable itineraries.

I organize private and group hiking tours from Yerevan to Armenia's most popular mountain destinations, including Mount Aragats and Mount Azhdahak. I also take travelers to unusual and lesser-known places, from abandoned Soviet sanatoriums, factories, and former pioneer camps to observatories such as ROT54 and the Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory (BAO).

Whether you're looking for a challenging mountain hike, a multi-day trekking adventure, or an urban exploration tour of abandoned Soviet buildings, I'll tailor the route, pace, and difficulty to your interests and experience. Tours can also combine hiking or urbex with off-road driving and cultural stops, offering a different way to explore Armenia beyond the usual sightseeing routes.

Contact me directly to plan your trip and explore Armenia beyond the usual tourist routes.
