Incredible experience - I had a tour to see Khor Virap, Geghart and Garni today! I was hosted by Tatevik and driven by Arakel. They were terrific!
Not only did we visit the above sites that Tatevik helpfully educated me on, we also made a couple of side stops to buy lavesh and sharot, as well as visited an apricot orchard to pick heaps of apricots. The experience was amazing, thoroughly recommended!

Highly recommend this tour - This was an excellent trip with both Narine, a wonderfully knowledgeable guide with an amazing personality, and Norik, the driver. They both offered me a highly enhanced experience of the historical beauty of their country, Armenia. I would strongly recommend this tour with both of them!

A must see one day tour with amazing views! - Tamara, our guide, is an excellent ambassador for her country. She described her land and customs in detail. She brought our trip to life.

Hyur - We did this on a private tour. The tour was very smooth and places interesting. We enjoyed the professional driving experience of Arthur and the company of our training guide Michael who showed us and fully explained stories and histories of the sights. Thank you

Family trip to Khor Virap, Garni and Gehard. - Recently had a private group tour of Khor Virap, Garni and Ghehard with hyur services. Our driver for the day was Hayk and our guide was Mariam. I cant say how much I enjoyed my time on the tour with both of them. Hayk was very helpful at every stop making sure we got our stroller and wheelchair out and helping everyone get out of the van safely. I can say he went above and beyond. Mariam our tour guide was so knowledgeable and informative. I have been to Armenia many times and seen these sites before but I learned so many new things thanks to Mariam. We all truly enjoyed their services. I look forward to my next trip to Armenia and will be requesting to have Hayk and Mariam be a part of our private tour again.

The private tour of the monasteries and temples of Erevan - I went on a private tour around the city. It was amazing. We visited temples and monasteries of Erevan. We went inside, took photos and got full information of each place. We had A. Oslonyan with us. The car was comfortable and air-conditioned. We popped in a local restaurant. We enjoyed the tour and a detailed and full treatment of the history and culture of the spots we visited . We would like to book another excursion. We would recommend the tour and guide to our friends.
