Traveler reviews
Impressions of tours
Good evening, respected Hyur Service company! I want to thank you for the high level of service and excellent staff selection. I have already written a review about the first tour, which took place on September 16th. The next tour was on September 17th, with Gayane as the guide and Araik as the driver. I want to note the qualification level of the guide - Gayane, her attentive attitude towards the tourists, and the professionalism of Araika. The road was difficult, there were inadequate drivers along the way, but he skillfully maneuvered. I also want to note the cleanliness of the cabin, the presence of air conditioning, and the treat of national pastries. The next tour took place on September 21, with Aik as the guide and Armen as the driver. And this tour pleased me. Aik told us many interesting things. This time, the bus was small, but it didn't spoil the impression because the driver Armen was excellent. We were treated to pastries and provided with water once again. Thank you to all the tour organizers for the pleasure provided!
Very good tour
Great trip with very interesting sites, good food at the restaurant, nice guide and driver (Sam and Spartac), new and comfortable bus. Also the view from the cable car at Tatev is incredible.
An extra-ordinary first experience in Armenia
An Extraordinary First Experience in Armenia! This was our first time visiting Armenia, and thanks to Hyur Services, Maryna the tour guide which was super amazing, and our wonderful driver Arayk, it became an experience we will truly remember. From the beginning, the tour was exceptionally well organized. Everything was coordinated smoothly, the itinerary was enjoyable, and the food provided during the tour was great. What made the experience even more special was the amazing group of people we were traveling with — everyone was friendly, fun, and made the day even more memorable. A special mention to Maryna, who was fantastic throughout the tour. She was warm, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the experience. Our driver, Arayk, also deserves recognition. He was professional, friendly, and contributed greatly to making the entire tour enjoyable. There was, however, one area that could be improved — the hotel pickup coordination. We were waiting inside the hotel, but the driver who came to pick us up did not contact us to let us know that he had already arrived at the reception. When we eventually met him, he appeared frustrated, and unfortunately that same impression continued until we were dropped off at the Hyur Services office. Better communication with guests during hotel pickups, along with a more welcoming approach, would make the experience even smoother. That said, this was only a small part of the overall experience, and it did not take away from what was otherwise a fantastic tour. Overall, we had a wonderful first experience in Armenia and would definitely consider booking with Hyur Services again. Thank you to Maryna, Arayk, and the entire team for making our Armenian adventure so memorable! 🇦🇲❤️ Highly recommended!
Excellent experience
Excellent tour and super complete. Our guide Sam was super clear and explained absolutely everything along the way. Also a shout-out to the driver Spartacus for driving so carefully on a route with so many curves. I recommend it!!
Long but worth it
It was a very long tour (15~16 hours) but definetely worth it. Thanks to our driver Aryik and our Guide Marina, It was a great tour with marvelous nature scenes.
