Traveler reviews
Fantastic private tour
We had a fantastic day in July 2026 with our tour guide Samvel and driver Arakel. We took a private tour to see Khor Virap, Azat Reservoir, Garni, Geghard, Arch of Charents and only booked this a few days before following a recommendation from a family member about Hyur. The locations were amazing and provided a perfect mix to experience Armenia's scenery and history. But Samvel really made the day by talking us through the histories, culture and his own personal experiences in a clear and engaging way. For my dad and I who were exploring our Armenian roots, it was ideal. We were grateful for him and Arakel's patience in taking the tour at the pace we wanted, including stopping off if we wanted to take a photo or saw something interesting. The lunch was a particularly nice stop-off at a family-run restaurant in a quiet garden setting, and the day was made even better by coinciding with Vardavar so we were entertained by kids throwing water over the car! We'd fully recommend Hyur and Samvel and Arakel particularly for the private tour.
Amazing
Great! Second visit with Edouard as a guide and Lévon as a driver. Very informative and intense.
Best Trip in Armenia!
Fantastic tour! We‘ve been with a small group of our own and we had a perfect time with our guide Arev and our driver Hayk. We learned a lot of interesting facts about the ancient history of Armenia and the sights we saw were so beautiful! Our highlight was Arev singing at the Ghegard monastery - what a voice & experience!
Please please do this!!!!
Absolutely amazing. I cannot believe how nice it was. Arev was the best guide of all time, perfect amount of information, wonderfully funny and knowledgeable. Hayk was such a good driver. Usually I always get motion sickness but his driving soothed my soul. What a team these two are! Thank you! Also beautiful singing by Arev! :-)
Memorable diary
We had an amazing and memorable tour with Mr.Hayk. He is so patient and optimistic. All the time we feel like our family member with him. Advise you to get a tour with him to enjoy your trip.
