Well organized tour, but Gyumri we didn't like it very much...

3.00We chose this tour attracted by the great publicity that is done, and as comfortable as the trip was, in a large and clean coach, we did not much appreciate Gyumri: there is really too little to see beautiful and interesting. Our guide has worked in a thousand ways to try to make our excursion as interesting as possible, but the material to work on was very little... It went a little better, if only slightly better, with Harichavank. There are definitely much more interesting tours to do while in Armenia!
Laid-back and more exploring

5.00The people at Hyur Service go above and beyond! Amazing company that strive for excellence. This tour was more laid back, and more self-examination, we ended up seeing several weddings going on. The driver Levin and our guide Monica were both fantastic. I ended up taking three different tours with Hyur Service, and have used them previous on my earlier visits to Armenia.
Great tour with Hyur Service and tour guide Manya

5.00It was an enjoyable trip overall. We learned a lot from our exceptional guide Hayk who speaks many languages fluently. Our driver Aro is simply the best. When in Armenia, this is a must see trip with Hyur.

5.00This was an amazing tour, and we'd give it 5 stars! Our guide, Mania and driver Hovsep were great. Mania was incredibly knowledgeable . The bus was comfortable and the driver navigated the roads perfectly. It was a great way to see the sights without any stress, and we were pleased by Mania’s kind and understanding nature. It was a great experience.
