Individual tour in February Garney, Gegard, symphony of stones - Lovely personalized tour with driver Levon Hakobyan. Pick up right from the hotel on time. They take them anywhere in Yerevan. The car is comfortable, they give you water. Visited Garney, Gegard, and the Symphony of the Stones. There's plenty of time to look around. The places are very beautiful with their atmosphere of peace. We recommend it!

Amazing day - Our tour with Meline at this beautiful Holy place was nothing short of incredible! Her knowledge was so rich, and the way she shared stories made us feel like we were traveling back in time, completely wrapped up in the magic of history and ancient tales. She didn’t just teach us facts—she brought everything to life with fascinating, colorful stories that kept us hooked the whole time. And let’s not forget Avet, our fantastic driver, who was so kind, cheerful, and always ready to help, making the whole experience even smoother and more fun. Meline and Avet truly made this adventure unforgettable, and we left feeling so inspired and thankful for such a special day!

Glamorous history - We had an exceptional tour with Meline in a precious Holy place.
The amount of knowledge and information Meline shared with made us felt that we are in the middle of the history and took us back to the ancient times.
Not only history but also glamorous stories Meline shared in a very interesting way.
Our great driver Avet was friendly and helpful.

Garney-Gegard-Symphony of Stones Tour - We went on a field trip with driver Levon Hakobyan and without a guide. Everything was very nice, the driver is excellent: tactful, polite, pleasant. If problems and questions arose, he quickly and calmly helped to solve everything. Wonderful service and a wonderful driver.

Wonderful! :) - I booked a half day private tour 2 weeks ago. The hotel where I stayed recommended Hyur services and I made the right decision. My tour guide that day was Mariam. She’s an absolute star 🌟 She’s professional, patient and has deep knowledge about Armenia. I saw beautiful spots.. Yerevan has lot to offer. The best part is, she has a very good eye for pictures and videos. She can be a great photographer as well 😊 Overall, I felt safe, comfortable and I enjoyed my trip with Hyur. I will definitely recommend.

It was the highlight of our vacation! - We went on an individual tour: Garni Temple, Gegard Monastery, Garni Gorge Symphony of Stones. Our guide was David, and we all really, really enjoyed it! The tour was incredibly interesting, the tour guide's story was fascinating from the start. The atmosphere was wonderful, and the sights were simply fascinating, with stunning beauty and history. Plus, lunch was delicious. Thank you so much for this unforgettable experience!

Stunning views and fascinating history - This is the second tour my parents and I had with Armine, our guide, and we also enjoyed it a lot. This time we went to see the famous Garni temple and Geghard monastery, and once again we not only enjoyed the amazing views but also learned a lot about history of Armenia. We had a different driver this time, Hachik, but he was just as courteous. If you have time for a tour, highly recommended!
Это вторая экскурсия, на которой мои родители и я были с нашим гидом Армине, и она нам тоже очень понравилась. В этот раз мы ездили смотреть на знаменитые храм Гарни и монастырь Гегард, и снова мы не только посмотрели на красоты Армении, но и многое узнали об ее истории. В этот раз у нас был другой водитель, Хачик, но он был такой же предупредительный. Если у вас есть время на экскурсию, настоятельно рекомендую!

Garni - Had a great trip with driver Hamik. Could sit in the front seat to enjoy the views even more. Trip was shorter than the aforementioned 4 hours but probably because i was travelling solo and spent less time at the stops. Hamik is an enjoyable driver, speaks little English but had good non-verbal communication

Six stars experience - Both Garni and Geghard are breathtaking, but what made this tour really stand out was our guide. Anahit is extremely knowledgeable and passionate, and she gave us precious historical insights I do not think we would have learned with an average guide. She was also very kind with our daughter. Would absolutely recommend it!

Trip to Garni Temple, Geghard Monastery and symphony of stones - We had a great time enjoying the landmarks of Armenia. Our tour guide Ella was very helpful and informative about the cultural heritages of Armenia. She was very energetic and people oriented as she was able to cater to our needs as tourists as well. Our driver, Artur, brought as safe to the site and dropped as off at Sherep restaurant safe and sound. Overall, our experience is A+.
