Perfect！ - I was able to visit my dream monastery in southern Armenia in one day with efficiency.
There's not enough time for the tour! All the monasteries were so great that you would think, “Wow! I hope to find an opportunity and revisit it slowly.
Both the staff and the guide were knowledgeable and kind, and I could enjoy it with peace of mind!
I was quick to reply when I made my pre-inquiries and he explained it to me attentively during the tour, which even I, who was not good at English, could understand.
Keep in mind, when I joined, it was a 14-15 hour tour in a minibus, so it looked a little hard for the big ones.
The monastery also has a bad footing, so it may be a tough tour for those with weak legs or no strength.

Super recommended! - Unique experience, absolutely recommended by the excellent quality / price ratio. All well organized and designed to allow you to fully enjoy a visit through some of the most significant places in Armenia without being overly tiring. Our guide Karen was able to balance the information with the free time during the visit; always available to give us additional explanations

Tatev - Highly recommended! You can't forget these kinds, it's really cool! If you have come to Armenia you must visit this tour. So picturesque it's breathtaking. Once again we went with Ike, the best guide in love with his work. The safety of the trip was ensured by driver Spartacus, a professional in his business. Thanks Yur service.

Best day trip - It’s a long day but I wasn’t tiring. Basically you are touring the countryside of Armenia all day on top of visit three majestic monasteries. Khach was our guide who did excellent job to have such large group move smoothly. The schedule is well sorted. The lunch was at a village and three options were offered. Khor Virap and Noravank had a lot visitors but when we arrived Tatev it was afternoon around 4pm and the crowds were little. The cable car was a great experience but personally I think cable car is not a good addition to such majestic view. I would recommend this trip and would like to do it again if back to Yerevan.

Long journey to one of most spectacular views - Most likely the longest one day trip by Hyur Service. Our guide Hach and driver Hosep did a great job, just like very member of Hyur does.
Hach again did a splendid job by giving us the complete review of Armenian history (and even listening for several times same info, with such great guides it is never boring), Armenian geography and details about each of locations that we were about to see. It is obvious that these guides really love their work.
Hach was not only a guide, he was also our carer, paying attention that no-one stayed behind or when attending the lunch, to stay hungry. His motto seems to be "I will eat only when all of guests get their order."
The experience of Wings of Tates was a huge adventure, especially as I am not the greatest fan of heights - but surprisingly, I did not have any issues.
Despite late arrival to Yerevan, I really enjoyed the trip, and looking forward to return to Armenia and to do any of other Hyur tours (and I will definely recommend them forward).

Great experience! - Spectacular tour! Wonderful landscapes and monasteries steeped in history. They make you realize how much the Armenian people have to offer the world. Spartak, the driver, safe and competent in driving. Marina, the guide, very good in explanations and very helpful. They accompanied us on this day tour. We had lunch in a great local tavern, great food. The cable car ride: thrilling! Thank you Armenia!

Great experience. Special thanks, our guide Marina and our very good driver Spartak - We chose this tour to fill the whole day and to visit a bit all the most interesting points of Armenia.
We had a very good guide named Marina and a very good driver named Spartacus who guided us safely even in the most inaccessible streets of the gorge that leads to Tatev monastery.
Marina, with great generosity and ability, divided the guide into two languages, Russian and English, with excellent ease.
Very positive experience that we recommend to everyone
In particular, it should be appreciated the excellent restaurant they chose, it is a farm, where we ate well with great courtesy and helpfulness of the staff. Very interesting way to cook the meat inside a vertical oven with skewer type cooking.

Tour with Marina and Spartac perfect in everything! - The tour with Marina and Spartac was very pleasant and allowed us to visit all the most interesting places south of Yerevan.
The guide explains the various sites alternating English and Russian, is prepared and very kind.
The driver drives safely and knows the road well.
We had lunch outside in a nice place. You can choose between three types of menus. The “grill” was very good! Rosehip juice, vegetables, wine, dessert and coffee are also served. You eat plenty and everything is good.
The sites visited, mostly monasteries, offer very beautiful views and views.
A tour that definitely deserves to be done.
