Wonderful experience - This trip was one of the best well conducted group tours that I have ever been in. Spartak was an amazing driver, Edwards was an amazing tour guide, very knowledgeable, always ready to answer all the queries.
Lots of places were covered but ample time were given at each of the points to explore them, the lunch was great too. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

Best to visit and see in Armenia - We took a trip with Hyur Service to Tbilisi last weekend and were so happy with the experience and our guide Eduard that decided to have another shorter trip in Armenia. The trip was amazing. We left at 10 and were back by 7:30 and it was a day full of beautiful views, nice wine, new friends, and exciting experiences.
Our guide Eduard was top class again and again providing us new information about the places we thought we knew.
We did some gorgeous photos of mount Ararat which was glorious as always. Went to the Khor Virab church where Gregory the Illuminator was imprisoned , a place for pilgrimage for many Armenians, visited Areni wine factory followed by wine tasting and had lunch in a picturesque village of Areni. Visited the mystical Bird Cave and finally appeared in the pink world of Noravanq monastery. If you are fond of fantasy novels or a fun of Wizard of Oz its a place you should see. Pink mountains, pink cliffs, a peach coloured church which serves as a shrine for Orbelyan family, seems to be a magical realm from a fairy tale.
If you decide to take a tour with Hyur service make sure you ask for guide Eduard and driver Levon, they are the best.
A pleasant gift from Hyur service were gatas (Armenian cookies) which children loved
The trip was beautiful but not very long neither tiresome, so when we were back in town we had a whole evening to enjoy and discuss our adventures.
Thanks Hyur Service we had wonderful time

Great day to experience Armenia - This is a great day of experiencing the beautiful landscapes, churches and wine of Armenia! Our guide Karen and driver Araik were wonderful, and Hin Areni is a very impressive winery with great wine. Karen even surprised the group by singing at Noravank! Highly recommend this tour.

Very informative tour, beautiful churches and georgeous landscapes - Our driver Arayik and our guide Marina excellently navigated us through the mountains of Ararat and Vayots Dzor Provinces. We had a super tasty lunch in Areni, and the wine was impeccable. Marina did a great job going into the historic background of all sights we visited. Thank you very much!

Long scenic route - This was the second tour we took from Hyur Service on 28 June 2024. I guess this is one of their best selling tour as we were fully packed in the bus. The bus was clean, the air conditioning was good, they even had a cooler with water bottles for us and some snacks. The tour was great, it was rather a long drive with very scenic views. We went to two monasteries, a bird cave and my most awaited tour, the wine tasting. During the wine tasting, we had a tour of their factory and we were serve three wines, I wish it was more ha ha. Overall, I enjoyed the tour. Thanks to our tour guide,l, he seems great at what he does. I have learned a lot about the places we visited. Thank you also to our bus driver who had made our journey very safe.
