    To "Bangladesh" and beyond!

    Adam_K, Dec 2025
    First of all I have to say that our tour guide as very knowledgeable and confident. Don't think you're going to squeeze in any extra stops on this tour! In all seriousness though the entire route/tour/plan was GREAT. It was very methodical, well planned and executed. Our guide was very knowledgeable and quite nicely interspersed her personal history with what was going on at the time. For anyone who likes Soviet history, this REALLY turned out to be a very pleasant afternoon! If you want to know what "Bangladesh" is all about, you'll have to join the tour to find out :-)

    Response from Host, Dec 2025

    Dear Adam, Thank you very much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the structure and flow of the tour, as well as the guide’s storytelling and historical insight. The route is intentionally designed to be methodical and focused, allowing guests to fully immerse themselves in the Soviet context rather than rushing through extra stops. It’s especially nice to know that the personal stories added depth to the experience — that human layer is something we value greatly. And yes… “Bangladesh” is definitely one of those details best discovered in person 🙂 Thank you again for joining us, and we’re glad the afternoon turned out to be a memorable one.

    Insights and ice cream

    Informative and entertaining tour looking back at Yerevan’s Soviet past. And if you’re very lucky you will get an ice cream.

    Good Soviet Yerevan Tour

    This was a great 4 hour tour. We got to see things that were very interesting and historical from tye Soviet past. I would recommend taking the time to take this tour to see what it was like when to be part of Russia.

    Most unique experience in Yerevan

    Danika_W, Oct 2024
    I LOVED this tour! If you’re big into Soviet history, or even just looking to see a different side of Yerevan, I highly recommend. It was such a unique way to go to the outskirts of the city and understand how people lived in Soviet times (and even continue to live to this day). I especially enjoyed the Soviet jokes from our guide Marine. Highly recommend!

    Insightful tour into Soviet times past

    Barry_B, Aug 2024
    Very informative half-day tour with charming tour guide who provided several personal insights into times past. We were taken to some memorable destinations with plenty of opportunities to take photos and get to know our new friends. Tour included some nice drinks, snacks and treats along the way as part of the price.
