      This was an amazing experience, we booked the tour online and paid in advance. Hamik was an excelent driver, punctual and respectful. He gave us a lot of informations about places we saw from the car and took us to an amazing location for lunch, where local traditional dishes were served. The car was clean and they also provided water! Totally recommend!!! We will be back for more tours!

      A very Special day
      We had a very with Meline as it was my husband birthday and she made really special by surprising us with home made dry fruits she prepared by herself. Meline was not only our guide, she helped us choosing the best Restaurants to test the delicious Armenian cuisine and enjoy the Armenian atmosphere as well. Her lovely spirit and hospitality made us feel special.

      Amazing trip with a fantastic guide
      I had a wonderful time on this one-day tour! The itinerary was well-planned, allowing us to see so much in just one day without feeling rushed. However, the highlight of the trip was definitely our guide, Karen. He had an individual approach to each guest, making everyone feel comfortable and well taken care of. Thanks to him and our driver, Khachik who was also incredibly welcoming, the whole experience felt truly special. Their hospitality and enthusiasm made the trip even more enjoyable. :)

      Amazing day
      Our tour with Meline at this beautiful Holy place was nothing short of incredible! Her knowledge was so rich, and the way she shared stories made us feel like we were traveling back in time, completely wrapped up in the magic of history and ancient tales. She didn’t just teach us facts—she brought everything to life with fascinating, colorful stories that kept us hooked the whole time. And let’s not forget Avet, our fantastic driver, who was so kind, cheerful, and always ready to help, making the whole experience even smoother and more fun. Meline and Avet truly made this adventure unforgettable, and we left feeling so inspired and thankful for such a special day!

      Glamorous history
      We had an exceptional tour with Meline in a precious Holy place. The amount of knowledge and information Meline shared with made us felt that we are in the middle of the history and took us back to the ancient times. Not only history but also glamorous stories Meline shared in a very interesting way. Our great driver Avet was friendly and helpful.

      Professional tour guide
      Thanks for both of the driver and the tour guide Karen, it was a nice trip even though we couldn’t see the mountain of Ararat at first stop due to the foggy weather, however on the way to the second stop we saw the mountain clearly, and they made a special stop on the road side for us to take photo. Good driving skills with the driver, and slow with detailed instructions with tour guide. It was a really nice trip.

      Memorable experience in Yerevan
      We recently went on a sightseeing tour that was absolutely amazing, thanks to our wonderful guide, Meline, and our great driver, Avet. Meline was so knowledgeable and passionate about the places we visited. She made history come alive with interesting stories and fun facts, making every stop special. Her energy was contagious, and she was always happy to answer questions and suggest local gems. It was such a memorable experience!

      We were looking forward on this tour as we were about to see snow for the first time. And Hyur Services made it sure this is going to be a memorable experience. The whole ride was smooth (thanks to Arayt(?) our driver). Our eyes were feasting on snowy trails, roads and pine trees. We had a very accommodating guide, Tigran(?). There’s ample time to take pictures and play in the snow. The cablecar ride was wonderful and quite surprised the staffs knew few words of our language. The lunch was sumptuous with a picture perfect view of Lake Sevan. The view at the top was stunning and the old church is a sight to see. Core memories! 🤍

      Utterly Captivated
      Exploring a foreign country brings forth a lot of anxiety especially to lady traveler like us and Hyur Services made it sure there’s nothing to be worried about. The stress was replaced with excitement the moment the van started moving. The whole ride was comfortable (excellent driver, Josef?) and very informative. We gained a whole lot of new insights about Armenia (thanks to our tour guide Eduard). The places and things we only see in movies and read in books materialized in this tour. The monasteries, temples and old churches had this magical and mystical feel. Our faces may not show it but believe me we were giddy with so much delight like small children 😄. And the food - delicioso! We were completely charmed and contemplating on returning - probably on another season 😊

      An amazing must do experience. Our tour guide Edward was amazing, with his own way communicating information, and making everything easy to comprehend, and he was always replying to our questions with details. Definitely suggesting this tour to everyone. Also, our bus driver Spartacus was very kind and helpful!! Moreover, everything was super well organized

      Short day tour - must do!
      We had a great time at this short but sweet tour with Karen. We were the only English speakers in the bus tour but we were very happy with his attention to detail and guidance. We got to know about the historical sites and culture of Armenia.

      Great tour with Edward
      I truly enjoyed this day with the guide Edward and the driver Karen. The program was very rich with several places of interest, including historical and cultural explorations. We also had a chance to eat lunch in a traditional Armenian restaurant where I also tasted the delicious Armenian cognac Ararat !

    Love everything about this 8-9 hr tour! Firstly, the itinerary was well-paced, allowing us an average of an hour at each attraction. The architecture of Geghard Monastery is absolutely amazing; we were in awe seeing it. Next, lunch was delicious; we tasted the most yummy and freshly made lavash at the lovely Abelyan’s House. The service staff were all very friendly. We also want to thank our driver, Mr Jacob for keeping us safe despite the wet weather and road conditions. Last but certainly not least, our guide, Tamara, is a gem 💎 She engaged us with her knowledge and warmth, sprinkling interesting fun facts along the way, ensuring there was never a dull moment! She even illustrated the acoustic of Geghard Monastery by singing a beautiful Armenian song for us! We truly appreciate having her as our guide. So we are rating this tour 7 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟.

    Fantastic day out visiting some of the highlights outside of Yerevan. We had thorough informational talks on the bus and at the destinations, ensuring we were fully knowledgeable of the history, culture and points of interest. There were about 30 people in the group but everyone respected Sam’s timelines so it was efficient and felt more intimate. Lunch was not included in the price but was definitely worth it, as well as the Lavash making demonstration. Stunning scenery, and although it rained, Sam knew the best places to take photos and adapted the trip so we were more sheltered. It was relaxing yet we achieved a lot - a brilliant, stress free way to travel around this beautiful area. Highly recommended to all.

    Amazing experience. The 8 hour long tour was punctual, professional and extremely informative. Our tour guide Sam was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. One thing which was very different from other group tours I've been on was the fact that Sam kept checking in on the entire group of 50 people, ensuring we were present and comfortable. They provided some traditional Armenian pastry in the bus along with water. Despite it being a cold and rainy day, the trip was made enjoyable by Sam and our driver who always kept good spirits. Thankyou and will definitely use Hyur service again!

    Great half-day tour! You check out from 10:00 and get back to 5:00. Only three locations - Monastery complex, then Cable Car and Lake Sevan with lunch. Comfortable buses, free water to access, treats and very interesting and complete guide stories!
    Still taking your time and not stretching it, you don't get tired, always attentive, lots of free time on the locations. Very even, nice and polite.

    Dinner choice: vegetarian, fish and meat. Tortillas can be purchased, coffee and tea are included.
    It is highly recommended to visit to see the beauty of the lake, mountains and monasteries, and do not get tired of a full day on the road.

    Tour was well-organised, ran to schedule and was led professionally by the tour guide, Anna. Will recommend this day trip as you get to see quite a few sights in the vicinity of Yerevan. Time allocated for each attraction was just about right - you get to explore the places at your own time and also listen to the information told by the guide. Kudos to Anna who made every guest feel welcome despite the logistics of having to run the tour in two languages, English and Russian!

    Great excursion. Everything is organized at the highest level. The guide David led the tour very interestingly, answered questions from tourists, and joked. The driver Norik was also great. Everything is scheduled minute by minute. Very thoughtful. Lunch is great. We took two different options for two and tried both. Delicious. The company is very professional. If the excursion is in Armenia, then only Hyur.

    We had the best tour, thanks to our guide, Anush! Every place we visited has stories and she knows them very well which made our trip so meaningful. She has a very good voice too, she sang an Armenian song while we were at the Geghard Monastery. Thank you again Anush for sharing with us a lot about Armenia!

    Hyur Service is the best! The team is always on time. Very professional and friendly guide and drivers (Karen & Arman). Will definitely recommend to friends!

    what a nice tour! Unfortunately I'm bad with names, but our tour guide was fantastic!!!!! She talked a lot about the country, always had a smile on her face AND while preparing the lavash-bread she was singing, also on the bus 🥰🥰! Nobody should miss this experience! It was very pleasant that you always got a short introduction at the beginning of each stop and then had time for yourself to explore everything!!!! so great! And I could write several pages about lunch in the middle of a beautiful garden… I loved it!

    We had a memorable day with Edward and Lavon. Edward is very knowledgeable and provided great commentary about Armenian history and sites. Lunch was delicious and dessert was fresh fruit from the restaurant’s garden.

    The pace of the tour was perfect, it was really nice how the tour was divided by language and which kept the groups small and each one had free time.

    The bus was comfy and clean and Lavon is a professional and careful driver.

    Thank you Edward and Lavon for a great day and a wonderful introduction to Armenian.
