UNESCO Monasteries & Church Tour

Efficient tour of the Ozun, Sanahin and Hagpat monasteries located on the cliffs of the Debed Valley. The solemn atmosphere of each church/monastery will wash your mind, and you can keep an eye on the beautiful decoration. Also, the scenery of the train windows along the way was much more beautiful, and I was able to take photos whenever I wanted, so it was really good to have a private tour. I was able to pay an extra fee to stop by the Akhtala monastery, which was another great memory. We go through pretty steep mountain roads, but thanks to the excellent driving of our driver, Hrach, we were comfortable along the way. The venue is located in Sanahin district, close to Sanahin Monastery. I think this tour is a great way to enjoy your trip safely and comfortably.

We already miss traveling across Armenia with driver Levon! Our group of 6 had an absolutely unforgettable 3-day journey, filled with breathtaking landscapes. We explored iconic places like Garni, Geghard, the Azat Reservoir, Khor Virap, Dilijan, Lake Sevan, as well as Odzun, Haghpat, Sanahin, Gyumri, Vanadzor, Akhurian, and several more hidden gems along the way. We had a very comfortable van, which made long drives relaxing and enjoyable. What we especially appreciated was the flexibility: we were able to design our own itinerary, from the route to restaurant stops, and Levon supported everything with patience, stories, and great suggestions. His kindness, professionalism, and genuine care stood out from the very beginning. Most importantly, he is an extremely responsible and safe driver, which made us feel comfortable at all times. Also, his engaging stories and deep knowledge with which he responded to our hundreds of questions, made Armenia come to life even more! We have already done dozens of tours with Hyur Service over the years, and it always lives up to our expectations - and exceeds them. Thanks again for such a wonderful journey!

We booked 2 private tours. One south west other to north and via Gyumri back to Yerevan. In total 3 days. Well organized, on time departures direct from our hotel in Yerevan. The Mercedes Vito was comfortable for our party of 6. Levon, our driver was helpful and easy going. On request he arranged for traditional Armenian music. Really nice was the information he provided about real life and history of his family, and the Armenian people. He speaks Armenian, Russian and quite some German. On top of that he has good sense of humor. Highly recommend booking with Hyur Service.

This was my fourth private tour with Hyur, and once again, it was an incredible experience. My guide was the amazing Nina, and our driver Archer, whose driving skills are truly impressive. This trip was quite a long one—almost reaching Tbilisi—and compared to the southern route (the Tatev tour), I found the northern roads even more challenging. On the way back, it even started raining, which made visibility poor, and yet the whole ride still felt comfortable and safe. There were well-timed stops along the way where I could rest and recharge before continuing. Nina was, as always, exceptional. She patiently explained every detail about the cultural and historical background of the places we passed, and shared fascinating insights about Armenia’s breathtaking mountains. Thanks to her, I got to know not only Mount Ararat but also many other beautiful and meaningful peaks that are just as precious to Armenia. Nina is incredibly professional and knowledgeable. I learned so many things I could never have found on my own—about Armenian poets, musicians, traditional music, opera, and the deeper meanings behind local place names. Every private tour with Hyur makes me feel my understanding of Armenia growing deeper and more personal. No matter how much research I do before each trip, I always realize during the journey how much more there is to learn. Exploring Armenia this way is a truly special experience—something that can only be felt firsthand. I’m also very grateful to Archer, whose calm and skillful driving made the long and winding roads (especially in the rain!) feel safe and smooth. The driver’s role in a private tour is just as important as the guide’s, and I deeply appreciate his part in making the trip so enjoyable. Hyur continues to impress me with such high-quality service. Every tour leaves me happy, fulfilled, and loving Armenia even more each time. Many thanks again to Nina and Archer for such a wonderful and memorable journey! 這次是是我第四次參加Hyur的private tour，我的導覽是超棒的Nina和開車技術極好的Archer。這次的旅程時長也很長，已經快到Tibilisi，而且路相比往南（Tatev tour)的路線我感覺往北更難走，特別是今天回程還下雨，視線不佳，路途中很多不好走的山路，但我還是覺得旅途很舒適，仍舊會有稍作休息的地方，都是能好好休整再出發的中繼點。 導覽Nina仍然讓我學習甚多，整趟路途都會不厭其煩的地跟我詳細介紹途中各處的文化歷史背景，還有各處美麗的山的詳細資訊，真的很感謝她讓我認識亞拉拉山以外其他美麗又充滿意義同樣是亞美尼亞珍貴的山。 Nina真的很專業，我依舊學到了很多單靠我自己查不到的資訊，同樣也補充了非常多額外有關亞美尼亞的文化資產，像是詩人、音樂家、亞美尼亞音樂、歌劇等等。我同樣學習到了各種地方名字背後的意義。 每參加一次private tour，我對亞美尼亞的認識和感觸就會更深一層，心得越變越長，我認為private tour很珍貴的一點就是導覽是非常認真細心的，就算我事前做再多準備查再多資料，在整個旅途中總是會感嘆我果然知道的還是太少了，能夠深入了解亞美尼亞真的很開心，旅途中很多美好回憶真的只能自己體會，我同樣很感謝司機Archer，private tour中司機同樣是很重要的，真的很謝謝這趟旅程可以順利平安，不得不讚嘆Hyur有這麼高品質的服務，每一次旅途我都非常開心滿足，每天都更愛亞美尼亞！（真心） 再次感謝這一天Nina和Archer帶給我的美好旅程

A good nature hike with Karen and Armen. Beautiful places and interesting and complete explanations from the guide.
