Traveler reviews
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!
Family like caring during our tour to Khor Virap and Birds Cave
Our private tour to Khor Virap, Noravank, the Areni-1 Cave (Birds-Cave), and Hin Areni Wine Factory with Hyur Service was an absolutely unforgettable experience! Guide: Rose Rose was an extraordinary and deeply professional guide. As an Indian vegetarian family, we felt completely looked after—she cared for us like a sister, paying attention to the absolute smallest details with pure passion and dedication. Her warmth, knowledge, and hospitality made the trip truly special. Whenever we return to Armenia, we will definitely request Rose as our guide again! Driver: Ara Ara was a very senior, cool, and exceptionally safe driver. He handled the roads with impressive skill and ensured we made it back to our hotel safely. Exceptional Care When unexpected rain hit, both Rose and Ara went above and beyond to keep us safe. They carefully verified that the roads ahead were clear, and Rose even contacted family members to check on road conditions before we drove through an area damaged by the rain. We couldn't have asked for a better team. Hyur Service is lucky to have them, and we highly recommend booking this tour with Rose and Ara!
Great
Wonderful visit with our guide Samvel ! Amazing travel through those sites thanks to the driving skills of Levon.
Highly recommend
Great and enjoyable tour with smooth logistics and knowledgeable guide. Thanks Arpine and Harut for kindly accommodating the elderly members of our party. Stunning and unique scenery and sights.
A good way to get to know Armenia. Tour in Spanish. 100% recommendable.
We have been with our guide Arpine for the second consecutive day getting to know Armenia. Arpine is a guide with extensive knowledge of history and has been very kind and friendly to our group. The first group from Andorra that has had!! She has conveyed her passion and love for her culture, religion, and country, and has explained the history and interesting curiosities in detail. She speaks perfect Spanish!! It has been a pleasure, Arpine! Thanks to the driver Khachik as well!
