An unforgettable tour

If you want to truly fall in love with Armenia, feel its soul, history and local flavor – you are sure to Ike and Aro! It wasn't just a tour, it was an incredible trip in the company of friends. From the first minute, the guys create a very warm, light and friendly atmosphere. Ike's fascinating stories immerse you in history and culture without boring lectures, and Aro is a magnificent chauffeur with whom you feel completely safe and comfortable on the road. There is always cool water on the way, air conditioning is available and Wi-Fi is available.

Hyur bus tour

Aro the bus driver drives like a real Armanian. A bit dangerous, but we luckily survived... Hayk the tour guide is a nice guy, speaks well in english and russian as well. The places were nice, and the food was great.

Everything really liked it.

The guide was Ike and Aro's driver. Very satisfied with the trip from the beginning of the collection to the content. During the tour there was lunch for an extra fee, everything was very delicious. It was a busy trip, learned a lot

Good Trip!

Very good, well paced day trip. Our guide was Hayk & driver was Aro. The drive was smooth & the bus very comfortable with water available. Hayk was very informative, easy to chat to as well as clear with timings/where to meet. Definitely one of the best tours we’ve been on for keeping to time schedules. All fees were included except the lunch. The group is larger but with it being bilingual time was given for exploring/picture taking and for receiving information.

Fantastic experience with Hyur!

We visited Garni, Geghard, and Lake Sevan on a wonderful day tour. Our guide Hayk was super informative and helpful, and our driver Aro did an excellent job navigating the roads safely. Everything was well-organized from start to finish. Thanks for the great memories!
