Thanks to Nvard who made our stay unforgettable - Our stay in Yerevan ends with these last two days of excursions, Thursday to khor virap, beautiful Mount Ararat where our dear guide Nvard took the time to take beautiful photos and Friday we ended our stay in style with the discovery of the Etchmiadzin Cathedral.
Our experience with Hyur service was really perfect. We loved our driver Karen and our Guide Nvard.

The best experience ever - The view was a amazing and the driver Hamik was very polite, very informative and did more than driving. He give us information about the places and interesting spots for pictures. He was always ready at our demand. He did everything possible to feel good. We even practice Armenian 😉. I recommend him.

Excellent trip, great driver - Booked this hour as I had a free morning in Yerevan. My drive Gregory was punctual, polite and a very safe driver. I had lots of time to look around the monastery at my own pace and to take photos. Very professional company - would recommend highly.

Awesome morning at Khor Virap/Mt. Ararat - Had an awesome morning with the very lovely and knowledgeable Arev (Sunny) visiting this monastery with the spectacular Mt Ararat as a backdrop. We were lucky enough to be able to see some of the mountain despite the haze and heat. The Monastery was very interesting and the views all around were great.

Khor Virap should not be missed - Khor Virap should not be missed! The location with Mount Ararat in the background is just unreal. Going down into the underground prison where Gregory the Illuminator was held was a powerful experience.
I want to thank our guide Arev for all the information, for her patience to answer all our questions and also for the taken pictures. Also I want to thank our driver Ararat for getting us there and keeping us cool.
Definitely a must-see when visiting Armenia, but please go in the morning as it can get quite hot and crowded!

Enjoying mountain Ararat and Khor Virap monastery - The monastery was very nice and we took many photos of Ararat mountain. Our guide Arev was very helpful giving us a lot of information about the surroundings, the monastery and the country-side life. She really inspires through her passion of sharing the armenian culture. Our driver Ararat (yep, same name as the mountain) did a terrific job of keeping us cool during the drive to and from the monastery. Great team for the tour!
