Very comfortable trip on a Lexus SUV and friendly guide driver - Our guide-driver was skilled on the road, also he was full of knowledge and interesting stories about each place. The Lexus SUV made the ride smooth and relaxing, even on winding roads. We especially loved Geghard Monastery and the unique Symphony of Stones. Everything was perfectly organized, and we never felt rushed. A must-do for anyone visiting Armenia!

More than a guide a real friend - I spent 3 days in Armenia with a friend of mine and each day we made a different visit Mark. He is such a nice and trustworthy person who makes you love Armenia. He himself has traveled a lot and knows so much of other cultures. He spoke French and English with us as we were from France and Canada and that was great. As we were going to Georgia after Armenia he drove us to Tbilissi and we visited some places on the way. He is very flexible and you can organize on demand trips with him. He was our guide and our Armenian friend. Jean from Paris

Awesome Experience - As a solo female traveler, I felt entirely at ease and well taken care of throughout the experience. The team thoughtfully tailored the itinerary to give me the chance to sketch the columns of Garni Temple in peace, without interruptions. They also organized a heartwarming lunch with a local family, offering a true taste of hospitality. This wasn't just a tour, it felt like spending time with friends who were eager to share the beauty of their homeland with me.

High-Class wines and history tour - Zori is a great driver and guide. He is a welcoming person and ready to adjust to you. The tour was on a high-end SUV car, so even though the roads were in bad condition it was a very comfortable trip.

EXCELENT! - Great company. They provide tour and accommodation services. We not only stayed in their apartment but also took airport transfer and several tours around Armenia. We had difficulties in the airport and they kindly assisted and helped us with everything, thank you Tigran.
Tours were also well planned. Mark is a skilled guide and driver. He is fond of countryside so we also had several hikes with him. He loves his country and not only gives you overwhelming information about the visited sites but also shows you places off the beaten track.

Great trip out with family exploring, Garni is worth a visit - I went to Armenia with my family, including my uncle and his kids, and we had a really good time. Our driver, Zori, was amazing—super friendly, full of stories, and really knowledgeable about the places we visited. What stood out for me is how he connected with our teenage kids. At first, they didn’t seem that interested, but as the trip went on, they got into the stories and started chatting with him. That made the whole experience feel more alive and fun. Garni is worth a visit, it just appear as a total different kind of thing in the setting.
Also The car was really comfortable too, which made a big difference on the longer routes. Armenia has good roads, but some are quite long, so having a comfy ride helped a lot. I’d definitely recommend this for families with teens or older kids. Not sure it’s ideal for toddlers, but for our group, it was perfect. We’d absolutely do something like this again.

Great service and fine car - We had two separate tours with SkyHai. Mark has delivered a great tour by explaining the history and showing us these special places in peace. We had a very nice time during this trip. The lunch spot he recommended was also very nice. Would recommend Skyhai! Definitely worth it.

Highly recommend Skyhai and their service - My sister recommended this company to me after visiting Armenia with her friends and being very satisfied with their service. In addition to tours, they also offer apartment rentals, so I stayed in one of their apartments and booked several tours with them. Everything was fantastic! Their team is excellent—friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. My guide was highly skilled and professional. I highly recommend them, ESPECIALY TO SOLO WOMEN TRAVELERS!
