Amazing tour in Gyumri - I enjoyed the city tour of Gyumri; for me, the city looks like it's still living in the old days of the 70s. I loved the streets and the buildings, and you will find that most buildings have a story of their own.

A must-do trip - This was my favourite day trip in Armenia. Gyumri is a breathtaking city, much more beautiful than Yerevan. I would recommend taking a stroll along Abovyan Street and trying one of the city's restaurants and cafes. There was a lot to learn about the city's history. Luckily, our driver Grigor was well informed and spoke English well. I loved the urban life museum, it was very interesting and the staff were very friendly and ready to help with any questions you might have.
Even though the way to Gyumri was two hours long, we didn't feel it because of the beautiful views and comfortable car.

Nice experience - The tour was interesting, the guide Marina was very exhaustive in explaining and always available to answer questions and all the curiosities of the group, made up of half English-speaking people and half Russian. The places visited definitely deserve. The only negative note was the driver's driving style, we would have preferred a little more caution. The proposed lunch was complete, good and cheap.

For a long time spent on city tour in Gyumri. Knowledgeful guide, bad driver - Marina, guide, was good. Knowing and pleasant.
Jacob, the driver was a bad driver. Braking up and driving unevenly.
The tour in Gyumri could probably be reduced in time. For example, Vii could have heard some personal stories from people in town - or just spent less time walking around and seeing and hearing about house facades

Amazing Gyumri - I appreciated some of the preserved ancient houses and churches in Gyumri. The tour guide under Hyur Tour Service (Mr. Rakbe?Sorry, I forgot🤗😁) have an extensive knowledge and explained even deeper about the famous historical places in Gyumri.

We were expecting more - (Gyumri & Harichavank) My sister and I were very excited for this tour, as the photos looked very promising. We booked it specifically because the website showed beautiful flowers and greenery. However, when we arrived and explored the area, we found it a bit underwhelming and not quite what we had anticipated. Unlike the other tours we've taken with Hyur (this being my third, 2021, 2022 and 2024 but first in Gyumri) this one fell short of our expectations. It might be helpful to update the photos to reflect seasonal changes, so guests know what to expect. Just to clarify, our guide was wonderful and very helpful (I'm sorry I forgot her name)—the tour itself just wasn’t quite what we envisioned and didn’t fully match the impression we had from the photos.
