Thank you Hyur Service🫶🫶 - Went on an amazing tour today. Our guide Edward was very polite and knowledgeable. Our driver Norik kindly brought a big bag of apricots from his garden to give to all the passengers on the tour box. The sites that we saw were fascinating and impressive. The tour is VERY good value for money

Sightsee in comfort - Anna and Norik made this a very fun experience. It’s amazing going to all these sites in an air conditioned bus. Anna is very knowledgeable about the history of each site. Highly recommend.

Good company - I chose this trip and it exceeded my expectations. Our guide Marina was kind and tried to teach us many things despite the hot weather. What's even better is that our driver, Rorik, picked a lot of plums from the plum tree near the parking lot and gave them to all the travelers as gifts. This is my first time seeing employees from a company like this. I'm really grateful to these two people who work hard to make travel more comfortable and hassle-free. I like Armenia because of these warm people, so I planned to go shopping in Turikie, but ended up shopping here instead. Thank you both.
