A truly relaxed tour.

5.00I took this tour only because my flight was changed and I had an additional day in Armenia. What a surprise! It was a very relaxed and interesting tour. The visit to Ijevan winery was superb. Lunch and wine tasting there were very good. Dilijan was a nice little town where we strolled for some time. A monastery is also included in the tour. Our guide, Marina, was very good.
A Different Side of Armenia – Forests, Lakes and Hidden Gems

5.00After two excellent tours with Hyur Service, today's trip to Dilijan, Lake Parz, Makaravank and Ijevan was another wonderful experience and showed a completely different side of Armenia. Our guide, Arpi, was friendly, knowledgeable, and organized throughout the day. She shared interesting information about the history, culture and traditions of the regions we visited and ensured everyone felt comfortable and engaged. A special thanks also to our driver, Samuel, whose safe and smooth driving made the long journey enjoyable. The itinerary was well balanced. We started with the charming town of Dilijan before visiting the beautiful Lake Parz, surrounded by lush forests and peaceful mountain scenery. Unlike the dramatic landscapes of Tatev and Noravank, Lake Parz offered a calm and relaxing atmosphere. Makaravank Monastery was a true hidden gem, nestled among the forests of Tavush and rich in history, beautiful stone carvings and stunning views. The visit to Ijevan Wine-Brandy Factory was another highlight. The vineyards, cellars, mountain setting and warm hospitality provided a fascinating insight into Armenia's wine-making traditions. It was a perfect way to experience the culture and heritage of the region. What impressed me most was how different today's scenery was from the rest of Armenia. In a single day we experienced forests, mountains, lakes, monasteries and vineyards, proving that Armenia has much more to offer than its famous landmarks. Thank you to Arpi, Samuel and Hyur Service for another memorable day. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wishing to discover the green and peaceful side of Armenia.

5.00Tamara is incredibly sweet and makes sure every guest is well looked after — whether it’s a much-needed toilet stop or the perfect wine recommendation. A small warning: drinking in the car is strictly forbidden. However, if you’re extra nice to our wonderful driver Karen, there’s a fair chance you’ll end up with a sweet treat and a little cognac later on.
Nice Tour

Travel experience in Armenia and Georgia

5.00This review of mine is after 2 others made in the first days of travel. It was a fantastic tour that allowed us to get to know two important countries like Armenia and Georgia. Our guide Gayane gave us a lot of information and was always available, kind, discreet, attentive and always ready to answer our every question or request. Even the driver of the minibus was friendly and efficient in driving for all vacation days. Really nice experience!
