Beautiful day un Giumri
It is a beautiful place, we visited it on Friday the 17th of July, with Guide Arpi who is impressive and very kind, and the driver Garen who made us feel safe all through the trip.

We visited northern Armenia with our wonderful driver and guide, Araqel (who also took us to the south on another day). The journey itself was stunning, with breathtaking landscapes along the way and truly unforgettable destinations. Gyumri was especially impressive—full of charm and offering beautiful views. Although it was a bit too snowy at the Armenian Alphabet Monument, the experience was still absolutely worth it. I highly recommend this trip. And if you’re lucky enough to have Araqel or Alexander as your driver, you’re in for a treat—they both have deep knowledge of the country’s culture and history and make the experience even more meaningful.
Great organisation and team
Great day spent with Anush and Sash to the nord-western part to gyumri and monastries. Gentle and perfectly organised! Hyur is always a guarantee!
Fantastic experience
Armen (driver) and Aref (guide) took great care of us. Gyumri has a very different vibe than Yerevan, and is a must-do for anyone who wants to get a fuller picture of Armenian culture and history. Aref is a wonderful guide. One of the absolute highlights for us of our visit was to experience her singing a hymn for us in an old Armenian church. We would warmly recommend Hyur's services to anyone wanting to set up tours within Armenia.
