We planned a short trip to Yerevan well in advance. Since we’d already been to Armenia, we decided to use HUIR travel agency again this time. We booked an excursion to Khor Virap Monastery. We’d really wanted to visit this landmark and see the magnificent giant, Mount Ararat, in all its glory.
Our guide, Pogos, led the tour effortlessly. Everything was interesting and informative. We were literally immersed in ancient history, and our guide introduced us to the monastery’s story and the ancient Armenian capital, the city of Arashat.
The weather was on our side, too, helping us enjoy all the wonderful sights and emotions: the breathtaking landscapes of the Ararat Valley, the solemn grandeur of Khor Virap, and the incredible beauty of the biblical mountain.
We’d like to thank our friendly and respectful driver, Marcos, for a comfortable trip!
We’re happy with the tour operator’s service and recommend them to anyone who wants to have unforgettable experiences traveling around Armenia!

We’re happy with the tour operator’s service and recommend them to anyone who wants to have unforgettable experiences traveling around Armenia! Небольшую поездку в Ереван мы запланировали заранее. Поскольку уже бывали в Армении, то и в этот раз решили воспользоваться услугами турфирмы HUIR. Заказали экскурсию к монастырю Хор-Вирап. Очень уж хотелось попасть в это знаковое место, так же увидеть во всей красе гигантского красавца – гору Арарат.
Наш гид Погос провел экскурсию на одном дыхании. Все было интересно и познавательно. Мы буквально окунулись в древнюю историю, наш гид познакомил нас с судьбой монастыря и древней столицей Армении городом Арашатом.
И погода нам благоприятствовала, помогая получить массу положительных эмоций от увиденного – захватывающих пейзажей Араратской долины, торжественного величия Хор Вирапа, невероятной красоты библейской горы.
Хотим поблагодарить общительного и уважительного водителя Маркоса за комфортную поездку!
Мы довольны работой туроператора и рекомендуем его всем, кто хочет получить незабываемые впечатления от путешествия по Армении!

We took two wonderful private tours with Hyur Service. The first was to the vineyards, including a visit to the ArmAs winery and a tasting without a guide; the second was to Sevan/Dilijan with a guide. We loved both. Today, we went to Khor Virap on our own. We thought we’d get there quickly by taxi and get back just as quickly. There was just one thing we hadn’t considered: it’s difficult to get a taxi back to Yerevan from the monastery. When we realized we were stranded at the foot of Mount Ararat, a bus with the familiar Hyur Service logo pulled into the parking lot. We called the company’s staff, and they quickly solved our problem. These guys really saved us. Special thanks to the bus drivers Armen and Ovsep. First, Armen reassured us and said a taxi was on its way, bringing a tourist who had missed the departure to join the group, and that we could take that taxi back to Yerevan. Then we saw Ovsep! We’d been on the Sevan-Dilijan tour with him before. It was such a warm reunion, as if we were meeting an old friend! Ovsep and Armen even treated us to some wonderful coffee while we waited for the taxi and they waited for their tour group. We’re very grateful to these kind-hearted people. We’ll cherish the wonderful memories and photos.

We’ll cherish the wonderful memories and photos. Мы брали две прекрасные индивидуальные экскурсии в Йур Сервис. Первая экскурсия была на виноградники с посещением завода ArmAs и дегустацией без экскурсовода, вторая на Севан/Дилижан с экскурсоводом. Обе очень понравились. А сегодня мы отправились самостоятельно к Хор Вирапу. Подумали, что быстро доедем на такси и быстро вернёмся. Не учли только одного - от монастыря сложно вызвать такси назад в Ереван. Когда мы поняли, что застряли у подножья Арарата, к стоянке подъехал автобус со знакомым логотипом Hyur Service. Мы позвонили сотрудникам компании , и они быстро решили нашу проблему. Эти ребята просто спасли нас. Отдельная благодарность водителям автобусов Армену и Овсепу. Сначала Армен нас успокоил, сказал, что едет такси, которое везёт опоздавшего туриста к общей группе, и мы на этом такси сможем вернуться в Ереван. Потом мы увидели Овсепа! С ним мы до этого ездили на экскурсию Севан-Дилижан. Встреча была очень тёплой, как будто встретились со старым другом! Овсеп и Армен ещё и угостили нас прекрасным кофе, пока мы ждали такси, а они свою группу с экскурсией. Мы очень благодарны этим душевным людям. На память остались прекрасные эмоции и фото.SÁNCHEZ
