A great half day tour - Our driver Gregory was punctual, informative, helpful. We couldn’t have asked for a better driver. The car was clean and in good condition. The trip itself was as described. A good half day tour.

Garni Geghard - I would like to say a big thank you for the excursion from Arev to the Garni Temple and the Symphony of Stones. The car arrived on time, the driver drove the car very carefully, Arev told very interesting facts about the country, answered all questions. We stopped for a photo shoot. The valley with basalt stones is something amazing. Highly recommend! It's must seem.

Garni-Gegard trip - I’ve booked a driver for me and my family as we don’t really into the guided tours, our driver Norik was very friendly and professional: ride was comfortable and safe, he gave us some brief info about places around which was more than enough and overall it was a pleasant experience. Thanks to Hyur Service for the trip!

Amazing tour Garni, Symphony of Stones, and Geghard - We did the Private Half-Day Garni Temple and Geghard Monastery Tour from Yerevan. We also stopped in to see the Symphony of Stones. Our guide was Arev Sunny and our driver was Vagram. Arev is a fantastic guide! She is bright and bubbly - loves to laugh. Excellent knowledge of the area and tour sites and a great story teller. Make sure you hear her sing at Geghard Monastery- her voice is amazing! Vagran got us to where we needed to be very efficiently. Very calm and relaxed driver. 2 big thumbs up.

Best tour experience - The tour was the highlight of our stay in Yerevan. Hyur delivered excellent services from start to finish. Our tour guide - Khach delivered an absolute masterclass on detailed history of sites/attractions. This review isn’t complete without giving our driver - Vahram, his flowers for a smooth ride during our tour.

Excellent experience and very easy to book - Highly recommend if you are looking to visit any of the local sites and dont want to rent your own car or sign up for a large group tour. There were 2 of us and we had a super clean, comfortable and well maintained car and our driver/guide ´Levon’ was very kind and helpful. We had a little extra time so he suggested we go to the symphony of stones (sorry probably got the name wrong) but if you are at the temple I would highly recommend that side trip. Perhaps our highlight! Thanks Levon, highly recommend.
