Covering monasteries, mountains, manuscripts, modernism, and many things in between, the itinerary offers an incredible range of art and architectural history alongside delicious cuisine, innovative luxury hotels, and stunning hospitality from Armenian and Georgian hosts. As one of SBMA’s signature custom tours, this experience includes behind-the-scenes access to museum collections and architectural sites, as well as dialogues with local experts and talks by popular SBMA study leader and art historian Dr. Keelan Overton, who researched much of this itinerary during the summer of 2019 when she spent a month in Armenia and Georgia.

The countries of Armenia and Georgia are less traveled by Americans yet still perfectly prepared to receive the most discerning, but a bit more adventurous, traveler. The itinerary will include five nights in Yerevan, Armenia; two nights in Gyumri, Armenia; one night in Dzoraget in Northern Armenia; three nights in the Old City of Tbilisi, Georgia; two nights in Kazbegi in the Greater Caucuses Mountains of Georgia; and two nights in the New City of Tbilisi, Georgia.
