Enjoyed every tour - We took 4 private tours with Hyur Service during our 5 day stay in Yerevan and couldn’t be happier. Anna was our guide for all 4 tours - she’s knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and most importantly a wonderful person. She answered all our questions and even called ahead for our lunch orders. The drivers were safe, professional, and friendly. Anna was on time every day and was very patient when we wanted to spend a few extra minutes to take more photos. Rates for the tours are fair and overall everything was great. I definitely recommend Hyur Service to anyone visiting Yerevan - they’ll show you the best of Armenia and save you lots of time and effort.

indeed great time spent - The team is very responsive. The car was comfortable and kept clean. During our tour we were offered a guide, Alexey, and we had a truly wonderful impression of him.
Even though we didn't speak English fluenly, he made every effort to make us feel welcome and spoke clearly in simple words so we could understand. Such a lovely guy! The driver, was also great.
Thank You Hyur Service for such a great opportunity with guide Alexey.

Good travel agency with good guides - Alexey is a nice, knowledgeable guy who was more than happy to answer our questions during the tour. He shared many interesting information about the sites that we visited, and was thoughtful enough in not overwhelming us with too much information. We really enjoyed our tour with Hyur Service.

Wonderful experience - This was our third private tour with Hyur of the week and we loved it! We had already done the Areni wine factory so did not do it again on this day. Our tour guide, Mariana, and our driver, Krikor, were absolutely wonderful. Mariana is so knowledgeable and passionate about the culture and history of Armenia. I had been to Noravank before but she added information I didn't learn previously. She even helped us look into our family history. I highly recommend this service both for private tours and group tours, which I did as a solo traveler.

Reliable transportation in Armenia - Excellent, reliable, reasonably priced. Looking at reviews for other drivers in Armenia, it seems pretty hit or miss, so I have to say, very pleased with our two trips with Hyur and our driver Levon. Safe driving, comfortable vehicle, on time, curmudgeonly but charming, helpful, just what you want in a tour/ transport company. Will definitely use again if I am back in Armenia.

Visiting holy places in Yerevan and Mount Ararat - I would like to thank the services of guides in the city of Yerevan, as well as separately the guide Suzanne for conducting a short, exciting excursion that will help guests get acquainted with the wonderful history of Armenia and the Armenian people. I was left in a great mood and want to come back again and visit other destinations and excursions. Thank you 😉

Exceptional - Fantastic experience. We took a private tour and it was very impressive. Vahram accompanied us throughout the tour by car and Aida as our guide. They were both very friendly and kind to us. I recommend you take advantage of their service if you want to spend quality time in truly unique places.
Thanks again.
