Breathtaking Views and Exceptional Guide & Driver - We had a wonderful 4-hour tour in Armenia to see the stunning Mount Ararat View. Our guide, Mel, was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience engaging with great insights and stories.
Our driver, Hamik, was excellent as well – very safe, smooth driving, and always attentive to our comfort.
The combination of breathtaking views, interesting history, and warm hospitality made this tour truly memorable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area…

Beautiful, Informative and Friendly - Both our guide Meline and Hamik, our driver were amazing! Even with a few days here in Armenia, we were able to see and hear about the history of Armenia and see the beautiful view of the Ararat mountain range. Big thanks to them for showing us a beautiful part of Armenia.

Review of Hyur Service - Recently visited a tour of Armenia Yerevan by Hyur Service and it was incredible! Special thanks to our team: driver Oganes and guide Ike are professionals who made this a memorable day.
Ohanes is an extremely careful and considerate driver. The roads are not easy in some places, but with him we felt completely calm and comfortable. The car is clean, the ride is as comfortable and safe as possible.
Ike is a great guide: charismatic, passionate and very knowledgeable. He talked interestingly about history, culture and traditions, gave rare facts and legends, answered all questions. The itinerary was thought out to the smallest detail: beautiful views, atmospheric stops, delicious local establishments.
I liked the fact that the guys adjusted flexibly to our pace, helped with the photos on the observation decks, gave great tips where to buy quality souvenirs and taste local delicacies. The atmosphere was warm and friendly, as if travelling with long-time friends.
Outcome: excellent organization, soulful accompaniment and sea of experiences. Recommend the tour to everyone, and Oganesa and Ike - especially!
