Professional and accommodating - This is a long trip so be prepared. Definitely worth every penny. If you can try to book the earliest departure because you will be on the road for 13 to 14 hours . The scenery is exceptional. It's best you look at the weather in Tatev, it's never the same with Yerevan. Our driveway was Marcos. Smooth driver and friendly. And our English guide, Khatch aka Chris, very knowledgeable in history and very informative. Very articulated, very clear English. They were very accommodating for all our needs. I chose HYUR tour group because they have many fleets on the road. We felt confident that if anything were to happen help would be there.

Hyur’s Exemplary Service! - As a first time visitor of Armenia, hyur service did an extraordinary job of organizing our private tours to many regions of Armenia. Gayane, our tour guide, a walking encyclopedia, fluent in both English and Armenian, took our experience to another level. Her knowledge of Armenian history, Christianity, current events, coupled as a gracious hostess and extremely attentive to our needs left a lasting impression and influenced our experience of this beautiful country. Hardest part was saying goodbye to her. It felt like parting from a family member. Gayane, thank you for the unforgettable memories, your warmth and hospitality is embedded deep in our hearts ❤️💙🧡

Amazing Experience and a Full Dive into History - We did 8 days of private tours and did not know what to expect. Our first day on tour, Arev our private tour guide helped us with changes that made more sense of the days so that we are not so tired and shifted some days around, boy at the end were we glad she did, it helped us be refreshed. This tour specifically was so educational and historic , being Armenian i was able to learn so much more about my on history through Arev and the locations that we went to. I also wand to give Arakel our driver a lot of credit, I was also very experienced and knowledgeable about Armenian history and other cultures in the area. We had so much fun exploring and the ability to have Arev take a photo whenever we like for us and not be bothered with a group of others was so intimate and we felt like both Arev & Arakel were family at the end!

Very pleasant tour - Wonderful group tour to 3 monasteries with a stop for lunch. Guide Tigran and driver Areik were very nice. The guide was very knowledgeable and provided explanations in English and Russian. I loved that they left time for people to walk around a bit by themselves, it didn't feel rushed at any moment.

Magnificent discovery of Armenia - We did several tours with Melania, our French-speaking guide. She shared with us her great knowledge and her passion for Armenia in a joyful and friendly atmosphere. Great professionalism, we recommend her to all our friends and acquaintances wishing to discover Armenia. We are also very satisfied with the driver Gegham, very careful, considerate and pleasant.
