Exceptional - Fantastic experience. We took a private tour and it was very impressive. Vahram accompanied us throughout the tour by car and Aida as our guide. They were both very friendly and kind to us. I recommend you take advantage of their service if you want to spend quality time in truly unique places. Thanks again.

Great experience! - We took two private tours one to Khor Virap, Noravank, Areni wine factory and the other one to Garni, Geghard, etc at the end of March 2024 and both were excellent. We visited a number of beautiful places and Armine was a great guide and told us a lot about Armenian history and heritage. Highly recommended!

Two Good Tours With Hyur - I took two tours with Hyur while I was in Armenia for a week. Both were very good - the guides (Hatch and Arev) were great, the cars were clean and comfortable, and they were both very knowledgeable and enjoyed sharing their knowledge. Neither tour with them lasted as long as scheduled, but they probably planned extra time for slow folks or for those that wanted extra time at the sites - which wasn't me. It was fine, though - I didn't feel rushed or shorted with the tours. The only real disappointment I had on these were the restaurants we went to for lunch. Both times, the restaurant was disappointing - the food was mediocre, and the service needed help. One tried to overcharge me (added significantly from the price in the menu), and the other brought the veg for my meal 20 minutes after the main, and forgot about my drink altogether (though it was still on the bill). This isn't Hyur's fault, certainly, but they might want to partner with better restaurants ...

Highly recommended - We opted for a private tour so we could explore the sights on our own and without a rush, Vahram was our great driver who drove us to all the sites safely, it was very well organised and we didn’t have to worry about anything. The monasteries were beautiful and very unique and lunch was tasty!

Let's get to know Armenia - I really enjoyed the trip! We were on the road for two days. There was no time to be bored. Guide Leah told us the history of Armenia (from its origins to the present). Thanks to her, the situation with Karabakh became clearer. The driver Vagram is extremely careful. He also told many interesting stories. He knows a lot not only about Armenia, but also about Russia and Moscow. Thank you very much for the service :))

Thanks to Vahram and Leah for a two-day adventure! - A high-quality two-day tour in the South of Armenia. I recommend. And, if possible, it is better to take an individual tour, paths, but more comfortable in terms of time. The south is very beautiful, in two days you can see it at a comfortable pace, but in one day it is very difficult to do + the road will tire you. We bought a watermelon along the way as a bonus) P.S. Does not apply to Hyur Service; the tour from On the Devil's Bridge offers a descent to the river. The location is beautiful, but I don’t recommend going there alone, especially for girls. It costs about 10,000-15,000 drams, they don’t talk about it right away.

Two-day excursion to southern Armenia - We are very grateful to the guide Lia and the driver Vakhram! Two days flew by unnoticed. Very sincere people. Leah tells everything in great detail and it’s interesting to listen to her and just listen to her. They will advise you and help you if any difficulties arise. The nature of Armenia is simply gorgeous. The only thing I would like to add is that tourists are warned in advance that the descent to the water on the damn bridge with locals is paid.
