Excellent choice of tour guides, bus drivers, and destination. - Me and my husband took part in five tours organised by Hyur. If I remember correctly, the guides were Marina, Haik, Eduard, Karen and Mania. Drivers wer Levon, Adzik, Hovsep and other two drivers. 1. Drivers were nice and helpful, and drove us safely. This is key as transport is a bit unpredictable in Armenia. 2. Guides were able to speak Russian and English, provided important information (where WC is, when the bus depart) and guided us perfectly during tours. 3. Buses were clean, comfy, enough water, reliable wifi, charging sockets under bus seats (no charging in a van). 4. Tour destinations were perfectly chosen and adjusted to the time schedule. 5. Lunch, as an extra option, was always tasty and sufficient. My only remark: if there are too many Russians on buses they start behaving, well, you know how: they put bags on neighbouring seats in order to prevent anybody else to sit next to him/her and, consequently, they enjoy more space during journey, they rush to put a lot of veggies/meat on their plates which they do not eat up finally even if there is little left for the others, they shout, are often late for buses. But Hyur is not blame for this. Hyur is really a perfect host. I highly recommend Hyur Tour.

Great day all around , lots of photos taken - Samvuel and Edward were both great. Edward was fantastic explaining history of Armenia as well as each location and paced each stop well so everyone had time to see what they wanted 👍 I would definitely recommend this tour and company to my friends back in Dubai if they ever come over to Armenia

Amazing Tour of Armenia - Beautiful locations with breathtaking views and especially enjoyed the Saghmosavank Church! Super happy my family and I took part in this travel tour! My only note is that the van’s cooling system could have been much better, since it was extremely hot and the AC/Fan was not high enough in power. Otherwise, learned so much about my cultural history and enjoyed exploring destinations that hold incredibly significance to Armenia!
