Very worth participating in - The itinerary is compact and I think traveling in Armenia is a very economical and convenient option. The arrangements for vehicles and tour guides are great, and it is worth participating in a local tour.

Etchmiatzin - Wonderful Vacation Package. Tigran is an amazing storyteller who knows the history of his country and has an excellent command of Russian and English. Thank you very much to our driver Norick, who took us everywhere without a problem.

Tour to Gayane chatedral and other churches, including Zvarnot Temple - It's our 4th times coming to Yerevan, but this is the first experience for us trying the tour and today is our 2nd day. We love the tour and we like our tour leader Gayane and our driver Spartak. She explained everything in English and after that for Russian speaking visitors. She speaks not too fast, so it helped us slowly understanding her explanation, because there's guide who speaks really fast and we have difficulties to understand. But Gayane explained in naturally and calmly way. Thanks for Gayane 👌❤

Awesome! - This is my third tour with this company and my second time with Marina as our guide. She’s absolutely fantastic when it comes to history and facts. Even the Armenians in our group, many of whom are now based all over the world, were really impressed by her depth of knowledge. You can truly see her passion as she strives to give everyone the best possible experience. Our driver also did a great job. Though it was a short trip, he made sure we all felt safe and comfortable throughout the journey. I can’t thank the team enough for the incredible experience I had in Armenia. I highly recommend this company—they provide great value for the price and go beyond expectations.

Beautiful day with history - Great day in echmiadzin historical monuments. Knowledgeable guide but with both Russian English group it was a little too busy and some tourists got lost while other language group was taken care. Would be nice to have them separated accordingly to their language as we were big group

Must seen Beautiful Echmiadzin! - Our second trip with Hyur tour agency. Absolutely must seen site - Echmiadzin, beautiful example of Armenian church architectural style! With Beautiful wall paintings, small museum with emprsive relique relics and the end - Zvartnots Temple remainings, which blow my mind, after I found out how it was before collapse. Thanks for our driver - Spartan & tour guide - Tigran for wonderful day! P.s The tour isn't a great choice for people who look forward breathtaking views only, but for the people who interact about UNESCO heritage and church culture! 👋😄

Amazing Echmiadzin! - The tour under Hyur Tour Service is splendid! The tour guide (Mr.Rakbe?Sorry, I forgot the name) has explosive informations shared about the historical places that are under UNESCO in Echmiadzin. The whole tour is remarkable.

A good tour - The guide Tigran was not receptive to questions at all (partially aggressive even) though he claimed he was open to questions. He would also convey inconsistent information on timings and breaks. To be fair though, his background intros of the different churches and temple were very good. However, it was great to see the churches and temple. The tour of the Echmiadzin Cathedral's treasury organised by the Cathedral staff was excellent. Time spent in each site was also perfect and the short bus journey was comfortable!
