The right way to discover Armenia!! - Our guide Karen and driver Spartak were outstanding. Always available, attentive, smiling and full of information. Hyur doesn't deny it. Highly recommended!

History to attack - We have heard a lot about Echmiadzin Cathedral. But it was overwhelming to see these and the other churches with one's own eyes. There's so much history behind it. We had great group of 19 people in a minibus, air-conditioned, with wi-fi, water and Armenian Gata:) A special thank you to our guide Gayane and our driver Aschot from Hyur Service. Greetings from Vienna!

Interesting material on religion - Excellent tours: clean buses, friendly managers in the office, guides with excellent knowledge of history and also excellent knowledge of English and Russian. Everything is professionally organized. As for this excursion, it will be suitable for tourists who want to learn about religion in Armenia. Liked the ruined temple and the museum about it)

Wonderful tour - Very professionally done, the tour guide, Arpi, was very faithful to the schedule and was very easy to hear and spoke impeccable English. Great sights, and since we went on a Sunday, we were able to see the service in progress in the cathedral. I would have liked to have a little more time at Zvartnots, but all in all a great tour and very affordable and convenient. Levon the driver was excellent as well!

One of the best tour operators - Hyur services are very professional and reliable. The varied services cater to all kinds of audience. My wife and I are using Hyur services the 3rd time and find them excellent. Our guide Arpi and driver Levon were very good. Arpi is very knowledgable and explains the history of each place patiently in English and Russian. Highly recommend using Hyur when in Armenia.
