Great Experience - Mel and the drivers Garik and Hayk were outstanding throughout. Highly recommend the experience to anyone who has very little time but still wants to cover the most important things.

Excellent guided tour of beautiful places in Armenia - An excellent trip and a wonderful tour of Armenian sights, driver Taron drove through mountains and serpentines and guide Miriam spoke perfectly about the history and culture of the places where we walked. Thank you very much!

A rainy excursion with a sunny 🌞 guide! - Everything was perfect! I am totally satisfied with Arev's and Aro's services. The weather was very bad and that made Arev's job a lot more difficult than already it is. But she managed to please us all the best way! The moment she song us in the temple within Gerhard monastery was unforgettable! Aro was great too! Thank you both!!

Unforgettable experience - We had a fantastic time. The monuments and landscapes enchanted us, despite the rainy day. The Symphony of Stones was outstanding. We thank our tour guide Arev Sunny (also with her excellent voice) and our driver Aro for the great experience we had.

Fantastic Day Trip from Yerevan - We took a private day trip from Yerevan with Hyur Service and had a wonderful experience. Our guide, Maria, was knowledgeable, kind, and made the day really enjoyable. Our driver, Ararat, was excellent and made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the journey.
The itinerary was well planned with some truly stunning views along the way. Overall it was a great mix of history, nature, and culture. We really appreciated the care and professionalism of the Hyur team. Highly recommend this tour if you're looking to explore more of Armenia in a day!

Beautiful day to remember - It was a very nice day with a fantastic guide and driver, both of whom had lovely stories to share and kept us entertained throughout the busy day. Khor Virap offered breathtaking views of Mount Ararat, Garni Temple was a stunning glimpse into Armenia's ancient history, and Geghard Monastery's serene beauty left us in awe. The entire experience was enriching, peaceful, and filled with history, and the comfort of having everything arranged for us made the day even more special.
