Amazing sights with great tour guides - This was an amazing trip and I highly recommend it if you are visiting Armenia. The guide Meline Sahakyan was very informative and extremely pleasant and funny. Not to mention she also took amazing photos and always was on the lookout for a good photo op. She is very knowledgeable about the history of the country and pointed out a lot of interesting things I would have never noticed. Our driver Arthur Haroutounian was an extremely safe and good driver. He got us there and back without incident. Furthermore he is very funny and always made sure I was very comfortable and well taken care of. It truly felt like traveling with friends and less like traveling with guides which you don’t find everywhere.

If you want a true taste of Armenia, select this tour. It is long but it is worth its while more than I can tell - I took the tour with Grigor the driver as private tour. Due to a misunderstanding with the office, although I booked a private tour with guide, it turned out that I have booked one without guide. But Grigor volunteered to be a guide too, and he turned out to be a formidable one. He knows so much about the history and geography of Armenia. Before each site he told me everything I needed to know and also where to focus my attention on. He is extremely nice, polite in manners, impeccable in his behavior and very attentive to his guest's needs and preferences. Very patient too. I wholeheartedly recommend asking private tours with him and I personally took another tour today with him, again private without guide to Sevan and the monastery complex there.

Amazing way to see 3 highlights - Both Khachik (guide) and Levan (driver) were amazing. Driving was perfect and safe, the guide is a historian who speaks great English. The Guide gave so much fascinating historical context and is just a great guy. Its a long day visiting 3 amazing highlights but absolutely worth it. The lunch was really amazing and authentic as well.

Amazing Armenia - My husband and I are just back from a private full-day-tour very well-organized by Hyur service. Our driver Avet was a very kind gentleman opening my car door everytime we stopped. He was on time taking us from the reception of our hotel in the morning and he was a very good driver, we never felt in danger with him. If we reserved a new tour, we would ask to do it with Avet, the best. Thank you!

Great trip Great driver Professional Organisation - Great all day trip. Late model well presented vehicle and Arthur the driver was fantastic. He was very polite, very professional, great to chat with via translator, informative about the area and stops at any time was not an issue. Private was a good choice and I did not take a guide as I prefer moving around the sites by myself and detailed information is available online. From initial in person booking to payments to the actual trip everything was very professional with Hyur
