- ComicTragedy0 contributionsTwo Good Tours With HyurI took two tours with Hyur while I was in Armenia for a week. Both were very good - the guides (Hatch and Arev) were great, the cars were clean and comfortable, and they were both very knowledgeable and enjoyed sharing their knowledge. Neither tour with them lasted as long as scheduled, but they probably planned extra time for slow folks or for those that wanted extra time at the sites - which wasn't me. It was fine, though - I didn't feel rushed or shorted with the tours. The only real disappointment I had on these were the restaurants we went to for lunch. Both times, the restaurant was disappointing - the food was mediocre, and the service needed help. One tried to overcharge me (added significantly from the price in the menu), and the other brought the veg for my meal 20 minutes after the main, and forgot about my drink altogether (though it was still on the bill). This isn't Hyur's fault, certainly, but they might want to partner with better restaurants ...Written 13 March 2024

I think this is the most if not the most important tour about Armenian history in 5 hrs but all goes down due to the planning: large groups (headphones are recommended), depart the tour in 2-3 languages makes everyone have to wait each site tour is departed meaning long waitings (was worst in the Echmiadzin museum for misscordinations); and lastly, no stop for lunch which made me starve beyond 3pm.
Proper planning would require: 1 only language, shorter tours no waiting, more engagement, leave time for lunch (run it in 3 hrs in mornings or afternoon). I'm not an expert in tourism but I stand for good Customer Experience and so far with this company has been poor.

A really enjoyable tour. The tour guide, Liana, was very good indeed - retaining vast amounts of information about each site and switching between English and Russian languages with ease. Tour was well designed with just the right balance of guided talk and free time at each site

This was quite an educational tour. As a first time visitor of Armenia, this was a great tour to take to learn a good amount about the country’s history, and the history and role of the church to it’s people. I do wish Etchmiadzin’s Mother Cathedral had finished it’s renovations, however it was still quite the sight to see from the outside, such amazing architecture! I have to say my favorite part was seeing the ruins of Zvartnots Temple - how they ever managed to create such a massive structure so many years ago still baffles me.
Our tour guide Tigran was very well spoken, and provided a great deal of history and anecdotes for each location we visited. And Levon, our driver - I don’t know how you managed to navigate that giant bus through those tiny busy streets, but thank you for getting there and back safely!
I would say this tour is more for those who wish to learn more about the country and its rich religious history - you’ll be visiting more of the modern city locations within Armenia on this tour.

We learned a lot of Armenian history by visiting historical monuments and Echmiadzin treasure museum which you cannot miss. Our guide Élizabeth was able in a short time to present to us the essential information in an interesting manner. Our lunch at the Mother Cathedral 17th century refectory was nicely presented with salad, cheeses, chicken kebabs and potatoes with dessert and coffee.

This trip took us on a wonderful tour of some of the most important locations in Armenia. We were very excited to visit Echmiadzin and learned a lot about the history. Tigran was our tour guide, and Levon was our driver. Tigran did a great job explaining the facts and stories about each location and answered all our questions. We wish we could have entered the Cathedral but it was under construction at the time. It was still beautiful to see the intricate details on the exterior. The Museum was also under construction, but it was wonderful that they had provided some of the most interesting artifacts in a separate area for us to see. We really enjoyed seeing the ruins of Zvartnots as well. It was so amazing to see what it used to be and what is left of it today.

The bus left at exactly the time specified in the tour, so I am happy that Hyur and our guide Tigran are punctual. It was a nice and calm tour with a lot of information about Yerevan, Echmiadzin and Zvarnots. We also went to the railway station which is a very nice looking soviet structure which was rarely mentioned in the blogs and places to visit while in Yerevan. Even though the weather is not so friendly to us that day but Tigran made our trip a very memorable one. e is good in babysitting a large group of tourist. Tigran also alternates which group (English & Russian speakers) to start , which made us feel comfortable and not neglected.

Once again Hyur Service tours did not disappoint. We went to Echmiadzin and Zvarnots on a tour and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. The cultural significance of these sites to Armenians cannot be understated. Our guide Tatev was very good to explain each site and provide much background and history of the Armenian people. Also our driver Levon was great, skillfully maneuvering our large bus through traffic to get us to our destinations on time. And we were so appreciative of the air conditioning because it was a very hot day!
This was our third tour with Hyur Service and each one was wonderful!

It was an enjoyable tour around amazing places of interest! We have learned a lot about the city of Erevan, the history of Christianity in Armenia as well as its present life. We appreciate the professionalism of our guide, Mr Tigran, his knowledge of the subject and the way of presentation. The tour in general was well-organized, we really enjoyed our time there! Special thanks go to our bus driver, Mr levon, we felt absolutely safe on the road!
Many thanks to all the staff of the Hyur Service involved in organizing this pleasant tour!

The group tour to Etchmiadzin and surrounding churches exceeded expectations, even though I knew the destination was something of great interest to my group! Karen was a highly knowledgeable and engaging tour guide that knew and shared the stories behind each of the destinations. The water and gata in the bus was a necessary touch as it was extremely hot. We also had enough time at each site while not spending too much time at any one location. Loved this and highly recommend this agency and the tour to Etchmiadzin with Karen!!!!

For the second year in a row, we visited Armenia and took tours with Hyur Service in a dedicated very clean, air conditioned van (with lots of water bottles to drink). Our driver Levon was a wonderful driver who was taking care of my kids as if his own. Our tour guide Hamaspyur kept on guiding us in English through out the tour from pick up to drop off. She was very kind, knowledgeable and full of energy.
If you have a family, I highly recommend them as we have taken 4 tours in total during the 2 years and their service is amazing 5 stars!
