Active School Trips to Armenia

Travel-Armenia organizes active and educational tours for schools, teachers, parent groups, educational organizations and international travel companies.

The five-day itinerary can be used as a ready-made program or adapted for a particular school group. The route, accommodation, activities, museums and workshops can all be adjusted according to the season, students’ age and interests.

When planning the tour, we take into account the number and age of participants, accompanying adults, physical activity level, travel distances and a comfortable pace for the group.

Price: On Request

The tour price is calculated individually and depends on the number of students and accompanying adults, travel dates, accommodation, selected outdoor activities and additional workshops.

Send us the preferred travel dates, students’ age, number of participants and accompanying adults, and we will prepare a detailed program and quotation.
