Exellent journey with historical information from Hayk and Hamik and best views - On a sunny day we visited a beautiful trip through Armenia, visited the monasteries of Noravan and Tatev, took a cable car ride and listened to the wind in the neoletical settlement of Karaundj (Zorats Karer). Wonderful guide Ike and driver Amik helped us create our memorable experiences on this day. Thank them very much!!!

A beautiful time in Armenia - Excellent tour arrangements. Later went on a similar excursion in Georgia and realized how high service received in Armenia. Very attentive to guests, water on the road (small things, but felt on another tour what it's like when it's not there), clear organization - not wasting time at lunch, everything is ready for arrival.
A clear start to the tour - no need to wait for the bus, it's always there. You can use the restroom in the office before leaving.
Enough sanitation stops, neat toilets all along the route. The guide immediately tells you where the bathroom is, whether it's paid for or not, how long before the next one is due.
At the end of the tour, the guide asked if anyone needed help calling a taxi.
Thank you so much for a wonderful time! I am proud that there are people in Armenia who can show the beauty of Armenia with such love for their country and visitors!

Amazing!!! - Amazing experience seeing the Shaki waterfalls, Tatev, noravank, Tatev monastery. We made a stop at a special place for lunch called Gastro yard. The hospitality is unmatched. Our driver was Lyov (Levon). We always request him, he is an incredible person, the safest driver and very informative. If you want to experience Armenian in its entirety you have to book all the tours through Hyur service, their customer service and quality of tours is top notch.

It's beautiful! - Came for the first time with a friend to Armenia, didn't know where, what where, acquaintances advised this service and we remained absolutely delighted. We happened to book a tour in the evening, and already in the morning we were met by the wonderful Vardui and Arakel. I want to thank them so much for this tour! Everything is very comfortable cool and interesting, Armenia is beautiful and we have seen it 100%

Our trip to monastery and winery - Excellent trip! The places we visited were all very interesting and mesmerising. The view from the monastery was incredibly breathtaking. However, the most enjoyable part was the winery. Heard a lot of interesting things about the wine production, tasted some wine samples, and had lunch in the local restaurant. The driver Avet was very professional: told us some facts about each place we have visited, made stops with amazing views. He was also always polite and cheerful. The driver itself was save and comfortable.

Great service! - We were a group of 18 ladies from different countries visiting Karahunj, Areni wine factory and Noravank. Koodos to our driver Hayk! A professional, kind and very patient person. We will continue to book with Hyur service and recommend it to our friends and family visiting Armenia.

Beautiful nature scenery - Ana, our tour guide, and Aratel, our driver were awesome! Great natural scenery and they also stopped at places on the way back so we could get some dramatic photos of Ararat and the sunset before returning to Yerevan.

Interesting and beautiful! - A long and interesting adventure with guide Edward and super-driver Samwell. The guide talked all the way interestingly about the districts and memorable places of Armenia, which we passed. Beautiful nature like a postcard and interesting history of the country. The tour is organized clearly by time and route.
