Memorable road trip with Arakel - Arakel took me out for a private tour to Garni, Geghard, and Sevan. It was an amazing day and he was great company throughout - chatting away about Armenian history and culture, being very patient with me as I took a million photos, and sharing stories about our lives. Memorable day!

We started our trip with... - We started our trip with a bit of traffic, but our great guide, Khach/Xach, and our very competent driver, Markus, got us back on schedule. The destinations were already breathtaking, but what elevated their beauty was Khach’s knowledge on everything. He painted a vivid picture of Armenia’s rich history, as well as other topics (random as they may be). Markus, even though he didn’t speak English, was greatly appreciated for his hospitality. He made sure we got the right protection from the rain and that my mother was comfortable all throughout. Great company to tour with, they really have great service šŸ’œ

A Perfect Armenian Experience! - I had the absolute pleasure of joining Hyur Service for a day tour to Geghard Monastery, Garni Temple, and Lake Sevan, and it was nothing short of exceptional. Our tour guide Alyssa was truly outstanding—knowledgeable, engaging, and incredibly warm. She brought Armenia’s rich history and culture to life with her vivid storytelling and deep understanding of each site. Whether we were walking through the atmospheric caves of Geghard or admiring the classical architecture of Garni, Alyssa made every moment meaningful and memorable. Our driver, Zavan, was equally impressive. Calm, courteous, and always professional, he navigated the winding mountain roads with ease, ensuring a smooth and safe ride the entire way. The vehicle was clean and comfortable, and he was always ready with a smile. The itinerary was well-paced, allowing us to fully enjoy each site without feeling rushed. Hyur Tours' organization was impeccable from start to finish. This tour exceeded all expectations thanks to Alyssa and Zavan. If you’re looking to explore Armenia with the best, don’t miss this tour!
