Astonishing tour - The experience was amazing, our tour guide Eduard was very knowledgeable and explained everything to us about the places we saw, even telling us interesting stories about Yerevan and the places we saw during our way to the attractions. The monasteries are very impressive and also the bird cave. The Hin Areni factory was okay, not very impressive, but the wine tasting was more than good. Although food was not included in the tour, the place we had lunch was super nice and the food was amazing. Special mention for our driver Garik was super good, he drove safely throughout the trip. The bus provided by the agency was very comfortable and had wifi connection, which is a plus. I highly recommend this tour and especially the tour operator Hyur, the best I found in Armenia.

One lovely day in Armenia - A great job! Thanks to our tour guide Edoardo we enjoyed the tour. It was a cloudy day but the guide was so amazing and engaging. He told us a lot about history with real facts and funny stories. The lunch was really good. And our bus driver Garik was friendly and helpful. We would recommend this company for sure! The Caucasian mountains are breathtaking and ancient monasteries worth visiting, no doubts!. Noravank was a highlight of this trip. P.s. put on cosy shoes

Khorvirap, birds cave - Me and my wife are from india actually we are students. Planning for a trip to korvirap and areni cave for almost 3 monts and finally came to know about hyur tour service. They arrange group tours with English speaking guide in affordable price. So finally the trip was done on April 1. Our tour manager Ms.Tatev gave us a lot of information. Her English and her knowledge towards the sites and history was mind blowing. And the driver's job was good too. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

Wonderful time in nature! - Marina is one if the best tour guides I've had! She's really friendly, welcoming and helpful. She made sure that no one in thus very international group felt left out. Her time was well divided interacting in both English and Russian and gave very clear instructions. Kudos also to Joseph who drove us all safely for the whole day! There was sufficient time at each stop for lovely photos.

High quality tour - Very complete tour. Our guide, Marina, spent the entire trip giving us information about what we were seeing. Very clear English. She was watching over us at all times. We had a small problem with the restaurant and Marina helped us make sure everything was to our liking and we didn't miss anything. The coach was comfortable and there was water and some food included. 100% recommendable.
