Wonderful day trip experience - I travelled with my friends to Armenia and booked the day trip with Hyur Service when we arrived. The booking lady is nice and she recommended this route with us. We enjoyed our trip with our lovely and professional guide Tamara and the patient driver Arayik. We made the right choice of this travel agency and recommend to everyone. Our guide Tamara is a good singer and the picture of her is showing herself on a TV broadcasting.

Wonderful excursion - A wonderful day trip from Yerevan All of the sites visited are worth the trip by themselves. Learned a lot about the local history. Had a wonderful lunch also in a garden of a private house. Highly recommend this trip. Gayane and Gojur were a wonderful guide and driver team.

Fantastic private tour with amazing tour guide and driver - Anush and Arman were fantastic. Anush knew everything about the places we went too and knows little secret places were the majority of tourist or locals aren’t. Arman was also an amazing driver always paying attention to our comfort and opening us the door. This duo were soo special that we took another tour with them our second day in Yerevan. Even though it rained they were prepared and provided us with umbrella and bringing us the closest possible in car to the area to visit. They were very special and the best. We liked it very very much. The first time we passed the place to see mount Ararat it was very cloudy and we couldn’t see it, but when we passed by again Arman and Anush noticed that it had cleared up and we could see it so Arman made a special stop for us to admire this beautiful mountain. They also allowed us to exchange with the locals by being our translators. We were comfortable and well taken cared of during this tour Thank you very much for this experience Arman and Anush

Unmissable tour - Stunning places embellished by a very qualified and friendly guide (Marina) who made us love the tour even more. The very kind and friendly Driver (Norik) delighted us with some apricots picked directly by him while we were visiting. Qualified and very cheerful staff, like most of the places. An experience definitely worth repeating. In fact we have already booked for another day 😋

Armenia's amazing religious architecture - Really fun trip! The churches and cathedral in Echmiadzin were very impressive. The pagan temple was beautiful and the landscape was stunning. The monastery at Geghard is something you shouldn't miss, even if you've seen a lot of Armenian monasteries. Tamara was a very knowledgeable and interesting guide, and also a very beautiful singer (she showed us the amazing acoustics at Geghard). Karen was a fantastic driver (we were with him for 3 tours!) and very safe and professional.

A great historical day trip from Yerevan - We had a great day trip from Yerevan with Tamara (guide) and Karen (driver). From pickup to drop off, everything went very smoothly and professionally. Tamara is both friendly and knowledgeable and helped us to understand the history and importance of the sites. She even sang for us at Geghard to show us the great acoustics 🎶 Karen is a safe and careful driver and we appreciate his skills on the road. When we come back to Armenia, we will definitely book a tour with Hyur again.

Great day trip with great guide and awesome driver! - Our 3rd and, sadly, final tour with Hyur took us to the sights surrounding Yerevan. We were lucky to have Karen once again to drive us and Tamara as our guide. The monasteries and museums weee first-rate and Tamara was knowledgeable and friendly. She even gave us a private concert in Gerhert which was amazing. Karen is a rock star! Thank you to Tamara, Karen, and everyone at Hyur for making our short visit to Armenia so memorable.
