Fascinating private tour - Getting to know the roots of Armenia

My second tour with Hyur Service and every bit as good as the first. We covered some of the city’s key highlights — the Cascade, Republic Square, and Mother Armenia at Victory Park — along with Erebuni Fortress and the Matenadaran manuscript museum. Tamara was a wonderful guide — warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about Armenian history and culture. We walked the Erebuni fortress together and she brought its ancient Urartian story to life, and the Matenadaran was a highlight too — the tour helped me understand the significance and artistry of the manuscripts in a way I never would have on my own. Informative without ever being overwhelming, always happy to answer my questions, and a real pleasure to spend the day with as a solo traveller. Highly recommended — if you’re visiting Yerevan, ask for Tamara. Thank you for another excellent day!

A journey of the soul

Armenia had been in my heart for years. The tour led by Liana Karapetyan confirmed the idea of a great people in a beautiful nation. She proved to be very prepared, affable and helpful. Definitely interesting. He proposed several “off-programs” that made us see real life, off the tourist circuits. Accomplice a very nice driver, Arakel. In Yerevan don't miss the Genocide Museum and the Matenadaran. To see a more genuine Armenia, there is a visit to Gyumri.

Highly recommended

An excellent way to learn the details of Yerevan, with Norik (driver) and Nazeli (guide), who mixed historical data with curiosities that made the tour an interesting and entertaining time. Thank you so much!
