Anazing way to discover the Armenian countryside - Very well organized bus tour to Dilijan, with driver Ashot and extremely knowledgeable guide Karen who filled us with lots of interesting facts seamlessly in English and Russian. One suggestion: 15 min longer in old Dilijan would have been nice to appreciate the details of that small town. Looking forward to the next Huyr tour in 2 days.

Hyur Service: Excellent tour desk in Yerevan - I am pleased to share my impressions of four unforgettable excursions held in cooperation with the travel agency Hyur Service in Armenia between May 28 and May 31. The excursions included visits to several picturesque corners of Armenia, each of which was rich and interesting thanks to the elaborate itinerary and attention to detail by the organizers. Here is a brief overview of each tour: 1. Excursion #1: Lake Parz Dilijan, Ijevan The journey began with the picturesque town of Dilijan, famous for its unique natural landscapes and rich history. Participants visited the purest lake Parz, surrounded by green hills and majestic mountains, and the town of Ijevan - known for its quiet atmosphere and amazing scenery. The guide was experienced specialist Karen and the driver - Ike, whose deep knowledge of the history and culture of the country made the tour particularly exciting. 2. Excursion #2: Arena Winery, Shaki Waterfall, Tatev Monastery On the second day, the group went to Arena Winery, famous for its traditional wine production, which locals have made since ancient times. After the tasting, the participants went to the beautiful Shaki Falls, admiring the cascades of water among the green slopes of the mountains. The tour ended with a visit to the Tatev Monastery, famous for its ancient architectural ensemble and breathtaking cable car. Accompanying the group was Edward and Lavon, whose professionalism added a special charm to the journey. 3. Excursion #3: City of Gyumri and Monastery of Arichavank The third day of the trip began with an exploration of Armenia's second largest city, Gyumri, which is famous for its distinctive style of architecture and rich cultural traditions. Then tourists visited the Arichavanck Monastery, located in a picturesque area, impressed by the splendour of its interior and harmony with the surrounding nature. Ike and Ike accompanied the group. 4. Excursion #4: Garney, Gegard, Baking Lavash Master Class The final tour gave an opportunity to see the temple of Garni, built in ancient times, and the monastery of Gegard, carved right into the rock. But the real surprise was the master class on making traditional Armenian bread — lavash, conducted by experienced craftsmen, as well as the Symphony of Stones. Karen and Ike's professionalism made this day bright and memorable again. Why does Hyur Service deserve credit? Tour programme The organizers worked out every detail of the tour program: from an interesting itinerary to timely rest and meal stops. Transport Comfortable modern buses and minibuses are equipped with air conditioning and mini-refrigerators with cool water. This allowed guests to enjoy the ride even along the difficult terrain of the roads. Guides Agency guides Karen, Ike, Edward deserve special attention. They were fluent in several foreign languages, including Russian and English, and had a wonderful sense of humour and a vast body of knowledge that was shared easily and casually. Professional drivers: Ike and Lavon Drivers demonstrated a high level of driving skill, ensuring the safety and comfort of passengers even when driving on narrow roads and steep mountain climbs. Buses are equipped with seat belts. Service and staff All the agency staff were distinguished by their impeccable appearance, affability and attentiveness to each guest. Any tourist requests were promptly resolved by the office staff, who are ready to give useful recommendations and answer any questions. Overall impression Every aspect of travel, from the organization of itineraries to the quality of services, has left an extremely positive experience. The Hyur Service tour desk is a company of high-level professionals whose work is focused on customer satisfaction. I recommend Hyur Service as an agency providing quality services, guaranteeing high quality service and ensuring a pleasant journey to Armenia. Choosing this particular agency will be the right decision for every traveler.

Excellent tour service! - We had a truly wonderful experience with Hyur Service! We went on three separate trips, one to a number of monasteries and other historical sites with Tamara as an english guide and Gregory as a driver, both of whom were very knowledgeable, warm and friendly. We also went on a second trip with Gregory as our driver and Alex as our hiking guide and despite some weather complications, we had an excellent experience. Our third day trip with Hyur with another fantastic driver (whose name I unfortunately can't remember) who drove us to a hiking spot. Overall everyone was extremely professional and we would recommend Hyur to anyone interested in exploring Armenia!
