Fine, I suggest you all! - Stunning views from the car window, air conditioning and water - convenient and beautiful. Driver Amik is very interesting talking on the way, suggested a great restaurant. Gyumri is a posh city. Ancient churches, ceramics museum and very beautiful central pedestrian streets. The monastery is striking and the views are extraordinary.

Gyumri - Ride with guide Amik. From the first, I want to point out that he's a very good driver, speaking as someone who might get sick in a car. Driven to all the locations, very interesting to tell their story. When we decided to dine in Gyumri, advised places where we could eat deliciously, and afterwards, when we were delayed, very politely and without problem said that it was okay, and waited for us. The Vacation Package itself includes a museum, free time in the city, where you can choose from several ancient temples as well as various museums and galleries. There is cultural life in the city. On the way home, Amik played beautiful music as we passed the mountain scenery. Trips left a very strong impression. Thank you for accompanying me.

Beauties of the Northwest Armenia - One of our favourite tours with Hyur service, because it combined monasteries and historical lessons, with urban life, Armenian life style through time and great nature. So diverse places we have visited that we have impressions which overcome one-day tour. Our driver Gregor was eloquent, well-educated and pleasant to talk to. He provided us with lots of prescious details about the contemorary evryday life in Armenia.
