Great for solo travelers - Excellent tour- I would recommend to anyone! I was traveling as a single female and felt safe, was able to meet interesting people and chat in English with many on the tour. The roads are narrow but the driver was very skilled and excellent. The tour guide was so knowledgeable and professional!

amazing journey through South of Armenia - I recently had an amazing journey through Armenia, visiting some incredible sites. At the Hin Areni Wine Factory, I enjoyed exceptional wine tastings and learned about the fascinating winemaking process. Shaki Waterfall was stunning, offering a serene and picturesque setting. Tatev Monastery, perched on a cliff, provided breathtaking views, while the Wings of Tatev Ropeway offered an exhilarating ride over the Vorotan Gorge. Exploring the Khndzoresk Caves and walking the swinging bridge was a unique blend of history and nature. A special thank you to our driver, Grigor, whose expertise and friendliness made the trip even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this journey to anyone visiting Armenia!

Beautiful nature scenery - Ana, our tour guide, and Aratel, our driver were awesome! Great natural scenery and they also stopped at places on the way back so we could get some dramatic photos of Ararat and the sunset before returning to Yerevan.

A very long but worthwhile day tour to Tatev - The guide Mr Karen, though young, was very knowledgeable and passionate about the tour. This is most likely the longest day tour offered by Hyur and requires a lot of patience and hard work on the part of the guide. Unfortunately, it came out to be a rainy day the day we visited, but was well managed all the same. Thanks.
