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.

          This was a WONDERFUL tour! Our tour guide, Alcin, was so very knowledgable and our driver great. I had a lot of fun with my friends and loved seeing all these ancient Biblical cities. Highly recommend! The places we stayed were comfortable and the food was tasty!

          The waterfall was perfect! This company really cares!
          We went in the spring when the waterfall was super full and it was so cool. We also got to see some 1000 year old ancient ruins of a church. I loved the waterfall and we got ice cream!

          Great time with a friendly guide
          Loved seeing all the gems of Istanbul- the tour of the Bosporus Strait and visit to the Hagia Sophia were really beautiful. Our guide was experienced, confident, and personally invested in our experience which helped us have a great time! This tour checked all the must-see boxes for a visit to Istanbul!

          Great Experience
          Great experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the different monuments and sites we visited. The only thing I wished we got to do was spend time at each place.

        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.
