Hyur - We did this on a private tour. The tour was very smooth and places interesting. We enjoyed the professional driving experience of Arthur and the company of our training guide Michael who showed us and fully explained stories and histories of the sights. Thank you

Family trip to Khor Virap, Garni and Gehard. - Recently had a private group tour of Khor Virap, Garni and Ghehard with hyur services. Our driver for the day was Hayk and our guide was Mariam. I cant say how much I enjoyed my time on the tour with both of them. Hayk was very helpful at every stop making sure we got our stroller and wheelchair out and helping everyone get out of the van safely. I can say he went above and beyond. Mariam our tour guide was so knowledgeable and informative. I have been to Armenia many times and seen these sites before but I learned so many new things thanks to Mariam. We all truly enjoyed their services. I look forward to my next trip to Armenia and will be requesting to have Hayk and Mariam be a part of our private tour again.

The private tour of the monasteries and temples of Erevan - I went on a private tour around the city. It was amazing. We visited temples and monasteries of Erevan. We went inside, took photos and got full information of each place. We had A. Oslonyan with us. The car was comfortable and air-conditioned. We popped in a local restaurant. We enjoyed the tour and a detailed and full treatment of the history and culture of the spots we visited . We would like to book another excursion. We would recommend the tour and guide to our friends.

An eventful day in Armenia - A very successful day. We saw a lot and collected interesting impressions under the excellent and friendly guidance of Mariam. It is also worth mentioning how safely our driver Ashot took us through the hectic traffic in Yerevan and along the country roads.

Wonderful experience - Due to changes in plans, my Iranian friends had to leave early and I had extra time so I booked this tour fill my last day in Yerevan and I must say it exceeded all my expectations! My tour guide, Mariam, was amazing and so knowledgeable! "Oh your friends were from Iran? Let me tell you about the Persian influence here. Oh, you are a Christian? Let me explain the Christian roots in detail. Oh you are a musician? Let me show you the part of the monastery that is acoustically perfect!" An experience tailored to my interests! I will treasure the memory! Lunch was amazing. Mariam and the driver were wonderful people and I recommend this company without reservation.

A day full of historical knowledge - The tour guide MIKAYEL and the driver Arakel were very good! Each attraction was explained in detail, including historical stories, religious culture and etiquette. I learned a lot. I can witness the rich history of Armenia from these buildings, and I also met very cute cats and dogs. I will recommend it to my friends!
