Lovely experience - It’s always a pleasure traveling with Hyurservice! I’ve been to these places before, even on tours, but this time I still learned so many new things and felt really well taken care of. Our guide Manya was full of passion for her work, and her stories made the experience even more special, especially surrounded by those amazing views. The bus was comfortable and well-equipped, and our driver Hovsep drove very smoothly. Overall, it was a great experience – highly recommend!

Great Tour and Great Experience Using Hyur Service - I am half Armenian and I went with my two adult children (we are from the USA) to Armenia to deepen our connection to our Armenian heritage. We went on three Hyur tours and each one was excellent. Our tour guide for each tour was very knowledgeable and took the time to answer our questions. They provided bottled water on the tour and also a very tasty pastry called Gata (you gotta get a Gata, lol)! The tours were provided in English and Russian. One of our favorite tours was the one that went to Khor Virap, Noravank, Areni Winery, and the Birds-Cave. Khor Virap Monastery with its history, and Mt. Ararat just over the Turkish border, provided an absolutely stunning view and it was quite an emotional moment for me and my children. I still get chills when I think of that view and where I was. It was breathtaking! Noravank was also stunning against the backdrop of the red hills. Such beautiful monasteries and interesting ancient histories. The winery tour and wine tasting was lots of fun and it provided the opportunity to mingle with other tourists on the tour and share in a meal, which was sooo delicious! The Cave was very interesting and is still being excavated. We enjoyed seeing remnants of ancient pottery and other ancient artifacts. Not knowing what to expect when we arrived in Armenia, the Hyur tours and the friendly Hyur staff helped make our trip a wonderful experience! Hyur Service (in Yerevan) also provides accommodations and airport transfers so it made planning our trip to Armenia so easy. We rented an apartment through them and also arranged for them to pick us up at the airport and take us to the apartment. They also transported us back to the airport on our return home. It was easy making arrangements and communicating with Hyur using their website. I would definitely go on a tour with Hyur again in the future!

A Personal Cultural Journey Through Armenia - We had an amazing day with Hyur, visiting Khor Virap, Hin Areni, Noravank, and the Birds’ Cave. Our driver, Hovsep, navigated the challenging roads with ease. I usually get car sick, but I felt completely safe.
Our guide, Manya, was outstanding, seamlessly switching between English and Russian while explaining each tour stop with humor, insight, and a deep knowledge of Armenian culture and history. She made sure everyone could hear her clearly, kept everything running smoothly, and thoughtfully attended to all guests, even during the lunch break. Manya’s tours are precise, highly informative, and genuinely engaging: she answers every question and makes you feel part of the experience. I'm really looking forward to going on another tour with her again!
All in all, Manya and Hovsep organized a perfect Armenian cultural journey, and I can wholeheartedly recommend Hyur’s tours to anyone wanting a personal and enriching experience of Armenia.

Thanks to Sunny and Hajk! - It was a very good lead. Sunny knew a lot and has been able to tell even more when asked. It was a small English-speaking group (~10 people). It was all very well organized and lunch at the Areni winery was delicious.

Un bon voyage avec Hyur Service - 🇷🇺 Unforgettable tour of Armenia: history, nature and taste with Hyur Service
On August 11, we took part in a group tour from Hyur Service on the route Hor Virap – Bird Cave – Noravanck Monastery – In Areni Winery. The day was beautifully organized and filled with vivid experiences.
Chorus Virap — after a night thunderstorm, the air was crystal clear, and Mount Ararat appeared before us in all its glory. Manya spoke about the significance of the monastery and its connection to Gregory the Illuminator.
Birds Cave (Areni-1) is a unique archaeological site where the oldest artifacts were found. Manya gave a fascinating account of the excavation and its significance.
Noravanck is a monastery drowned in red rocks, impressed by its architecture and harmony with nature. Manya talked about its history, legends and features of the two-storey church Surb Astvatsatsin. The road to the monastery is one of the most picturesque.
Lunch was held in the same complex where the wine tasting was later held. Traditional Armenian dishes were delicious and hearty, served in a cozy environment.
Wine tasting – took place at “In Areni” at the end of the tour, before returning to Yerevan. We tasted three types of wine, including the famous arena. It was organized with attention and taste.
💬 Thank guide Manya for her bilingual and lively service and driver Araik for her comfort and safety. Hyur Service is a high level service. We recommend it!
🇫🇷 Excursion inoubliable en Arménie : histoire, nature et saveurs avec Hyur Service
Le 11 août, nous avons participé à une excursion en groupe avec Hyur Service : Khor Virap – la grotte des oiseaux – le monastère de Noravank – la cave "In Areni". Une journée bien organisée et pleine de découvertes.
Khor Virap – après un orage nocturne, l'air était limpide et nous avons eu une vue spectaculaire sur le mont Ararat. Mané a partagé l’histoire du monastère et son lien avec Grégoire l’Illuminateur.
La grotte des oiseaux (Areni-1) — site archéologique fascinant, présenté avec passion par Mané.
Noravank is a niché dans les falaises rouges, ce monastère impressionne par son architecture et son harmonie avec la nature. L’église à deux étages est unique, et la route menant au site est magnifique.
Le déjeuner – servi dans le même complexe que la cave "In Areni", avec des plats traditionnels savoureux et copieux dans une ambiance chaleureuse.
La dégustation de vins — a eu lieu à la fin de l’excursion, avant le retour à Erevan. Nous avons goûté trois vins, dont le célèbre areni. Une expérience agréable et bien organisée.
💬 Merci à Manya pour ses explications bilingues et dynamiques, et à Araïk pour la conduite confortable. Hyur Service offre une excellente qualité. Recommandé !

A very nice day - We had a very nice day! Many thanks to Karen our guide and Aro our driver who accompanied us. A very well conducted organization, with a very pleasant and precise guide in his explanations. A big + for the summer period, during which the visit of the Areni factory and the bird cave allow to enjoy a more than welcome freshness! We recommend and will not hesitate to call again on Hyur Service for our next excursions 👌🏻

Great Way to See Armenia Outside Yerevan! - This tour was a great way to see a different part of Armenia. We saw a lot in a few hours, with excellent explanation and logistics from Arpi and Spartacus. I especially enjoyed seeing the red rocks and Noravank monastery. The group size was a little large. All the same, I would highly recommend this tour!
