Well worth doing - Really good and varied tour comprising 2 monasteries, wine tasting and a cave. Khor Virap was disappointingly crowded but good views. Noravank was quiet and in a wonderful location. Our tour guide Eduard was very knowledgeable and professional.

Great service and tour for families. - This was my Mother's first time in Armenian and Hyur Service did a fantastic job showing us around Khor Virap and Noravank. Our driver Karen made the ride smooth and pleasant. Our guide Mariam did an amazing job explaining the sites to us, answering all of our questions, and taking our photos when we asked. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to see a really beautiful part of the country!

Wonderful experience with Anush and Artur - We took this private tour and it was a wonderful experience. Anush, our guide, the best guide we could have, very warm, loving and full of knowledge that transmits and infects with passion and love for your country. Very willing to everything we need. Artur very good driver, super respectful and friendly, always with a smile. These places are stunning and beautiful. Lunch at Hin Areni's winery restaurant was delicious. We requested to visit Tzizernagapert and they accompanied us there: exciting, an unforgettable moment. We recommend 100% to this company and its team for the organized and professional. Thank you!

Stunning landscapes, beautiful nature. Definitely a tour to take with the addition of the Temple of Garni. - Very nice day outside Yerevan. We adapted the day to replace the visit of Khor Virap with the temple of Garni in order to diversify the discoveries: 1 monastery, 1 cellar, 1 vineyard and a Roman temple. Mel is a great guide, enthusiastic and friendly. She managed to have the tour initially planned modified to fit our desires. Artur is a very careful driver , maybe a little slow .
