Country where I always feel welcome and loved! - Thanks to the amazing team of guide Manya and driver Khachatur! It was my second tour with this company and again they made excelent job introducing their country, traditions and culture, making it so interesting and engaging for everyone. 9 hour tour felt so short after all! I am always amazed how Armenians let others be part of their culture, part of the tour was entering a Sunday ceremony in the church, whitnessing (and to be honest feeling part of) local weddings, or having lunch at the house of a local family. That made me feel very welcome in Armenia and I am always looking forward returning here!

Reliable, professional, and well-planned tours - After three tours (and counting!) with Hyur Services, I can confidently say that they are the industry standard for excellent customer service, professionalism, and well-planned tours. Manya and Garik made our tours unforgettable and filled with engaging commentary and humor that added so much more value to the excursions than a self-guided tour would. I only wish they'd do more local walking tours around Yerevan! Out of all the tours so far, I recommend Amberd/Aragats for unique views of the mountains and ancient monasteries.

Hyur Service Tours - The staff is amazing & very knowledgeable. The tours are well organized. They went out of their way to make sure we were doing ok & assisted us whenever we needed something. Best tour agency in Yerevan . I took several other agencies but this is by far the most organized/ friendly from the drivers to the tour guides to their staff … they were all helpful & great ! Definitely recommend them if you are booking tours in Armenia .

Great experience - Great tour Great scenery, Ambert fortress was first part of the tour located on a high mountain ridge. Lake Kari with an active astrophysical observation station. Was so high that you feel Like you are in the clouds. Next was sagosavank a monastery on the edge of a canyon cliff. Such beautiful scenery. Reminded me of a smaller Grand Canyon. Finally Alphabet alley with the sculptures of the Armenian alphabet, and founders of the alphabet and other import members of who established Armenian civil law and ethics. Our your guide Garen and driver Haro were knowledgeable, patient, attentive and courteous.

Dedicated Guides and Lost Places - Karen and Aro are really devoted guides who know a lot of information about their country. Besides, this tour is simply different from the other tours offered, where you only see monasteries. I liked the Lost Place Cosmic Station the best. I can only recommend it to you.
