About
Enjoy an all-inclusive, private, guided tour to see the historical city of Kars and the surrounding sites, including the ruins of Ani.
Start Day 1 by exploring the Kars Citadel which dates back to the year 1153. Then, visit the Church of the 12 Apostles, a 10th century Armenian church, and a mosque that houses the tomb of Ebu'l Harakani. Sample famous local cuisine and learn about the rich history of the area at the Kars Museum. From there, you'll head to Fethiye Mosque, whose 19th century origins as a Russian church are still evident. Finish off your day with Kars War Museum, trying local cuisine and an exciting Caucus dance show (seasonal).
Day 2 begins with a morning trip to a nearby village for a fresh farm-to-table breakfast. While you're there, sample regional cheese and see how it's made at the village's cheese museum. Then travel to the Lake Cildir where a picturesque horse-drawn sleigh ride awaits. After lunch, the Armenian city of Ani will be waiting for you to explore.

I really enjoyed this tour, Ani was much larger than I expected. There are plenty of paths, buildings, and sections to tour. There were 10th century Armenian churches still standing and intriguing stories for all of the other ruins. I would suggest this tour to anyone who wants to see a city partially standing from ancient times. The history and view are both rich and fascinating.
