Wonderful day in Khor Virap Monastery - We had an absolutely wonderful time with Meline in Khor Virap Monastery especially since it was my birthday! She went above and beyond to make the day extra special by surprising us with homemade dry fruits that she prepared herself—it was such a thoughtful and sweet gesture.

A very Special day - We had a very with Meline as it was my husband birthday and she made really special by surprising us with home made dry fruits she prepared by herself.
Meline was not only our guide, she helped us choosing the best Restaurants to test the delicious Armenian cuisine and enjoy the Armenian atmosphere as well.
Her lovely spirit and hospitality made us feel special.

Great Tour with a Great Tour Guide - Meline was a great tour guide. It's clear how passionate she is about her country and culture. She shared a lot about Armenia's history. Even during the drive there and back she made me feel welcome to ask questions (which I do a lot). She really made it a great experience and I am lucky to have had her with me. Avet was a great driver. I felt safe the whole time we were on the road. He was also very friendly. It was a very nice ride there and back. Overall, everything about the tour was a great experience.

Thanks to Nvard who made our stay unforgettable - Our stay in Yerevan ends with these last two days of excursions, Thursday to khor virap, beautiful Mount Ararat where our dear guide Nvard took the time to take beautiful photos and Friday we ended our stay in style with the discovery of the Etchmiadzin Cathedral.
Our experience with Hyur service was really perfect. We loved our driver Karen and our Guide Nvard.

The best experience ever - The view was a amazing and the driver Hamik was very polite, very informative and did more than driving. He give us information about the places and interesting spots for pictures. He was always ready at our demand. He did everything possible to feel good. We even practice Armenian 😉. I recommend him.

Excellent trip, great driver - Booked this hour as I had a free morning in Yerevan. My drive Gregory was punctual, polite and a very safe driver. I had lots of time to look around the monastery at my own pace and to take photos. Very professional company - would recommend highly.

Awesome morning at Khor Virap/Mt. Ararat - Had an awesome morning with the very lovely and knowledgeable Arev (Sunny) visiting this monastery with the spectacular Mt Ararat as a backdrop. We were lucky enough to be able to see some of the mountain despite the haze and heat. The Monastery was very interesting and the views all around were great.

Khor Virap should not be missed - Khor Virap should not be missed! The location with Mount Ararat in the background is just unreal. Going down into the underground prison where Gregory the Illuminator was held was a powerful experience.
I want to thank our guide Arev for all the information, for her patience to answer all our questions and also for the taken pictures. Also I want to thank our driver Ararat for getting us there and keeping us cool.
Definitely a must-see when visiting Armenia, but please go in the morning as it can get quite hot and crowded!
