Exceptional Armenian landscape and history… Wonderful Tour
Anush our tour guide was very informative and knowledgeable on the history of Armenia. We were very comfortable with the ride driven by Norik. Friendly welcoming, making this tour a must!
An Unforgettable Journey to Khor Virap & Noravank – Outstanding Experience!
We had an incredible tour on September 5, 2026! Exploring Khor Virap with the stunning view of Mount Ararat, the breathtaking red canyon surrounding Noravank Monastery, the fascinating Birds’ Cave, and the wine tasting at Hin Areni Winery made it a truly memorable day. A special thanks to our wonderful driver, Arakel, who was exceptionally kind, helpful, and always greeted us with a warm smile. His driving was smooth and professional. Highly recommended!
Southern Armenia - History and wine
This tour perfectly matched our expectations especially because of our driver Dawid and our guide Anna. It was a full day excursion ending with wine tour and food. Anna was very knowledgeable about the region’s history and it was very easy to converse with her.
Highly Recommended
A wonderful tour, a pleasant and beautiful trip, excellent impressions. Thank you to the driver Karen
Fabulous Tour and Easy Booking!
Our tour guide Raffi and driver Arman were great! Raffi was very knowledgeable about all of the stops on the tour and made the experience very interesting. Booking was also so easy - we walked into the Hyur office the afternoon before and within a few minutes we were able to customize and arrange a private tour. We highly recommend booking with Hyur!
