What To Expect

Oshakan

Oshakan village has been a holy place since the 5th century, when in 440 due to the duke Vahan Amatuni's efforts the creator of Armenian alphabet Mesrop Mashtots was buried there and a small church was built over his tomb. In the 19th century a bigger church bearing the name of St. Mesrop Mashtots was constructed in the place of the old one. Every year many first class schoolchildren learn the first letter of the alphabet in this church after an oath at the tomb of St. Mashtots.

Karmravor Church

This exquisite church is considered to be the jewel of Ashtarak. It resembles a monolith pillar due to its small sizes and architectural solutions. It was built in the 7th century and has come to our days almost intact. It has a cross-shaped ground plan from inside and outside.

Hyur, a truly professional tour company and deserving of all the accolades from our recent trip to Armenia. The tour guides were exceptional with their knowledge and hospitality, the drivers were aware of our needs, the vehicles were clean and one felt that the trip home was a definite, no breaking down! Overall we took four tours and all of the tour guides and drivers names I cannot recall however Hamas, Karen, Rose and Cross and each of the other guides and drivers a huge thank you not forgetting the administration staff who always had a smile for us no matter what our request was. Hyur the BEST!
Great day

We are stuck here in Yerevan due to the pandemic and the only joy we could afford was going on tour through Hyur. Actually it was so nice there was an individual option cause we think it's not safe at all to travel with many other people. So we went to nice churches close to Yerevan with beautiful nature surrounded. Trip lasted like 5hours. Totally recommended for the professional driver and safe ride.
