Traveller Reviews

Hyur were great. The Gorni trip was arranged with Hyur Travel a few weeks in advance of us travelling. Hyur offer a wide range of set trips all over Armenia, including into Ngorny Kharabakh, or you can tailor your own trip the way we did, and which they gave great advice on.

Our plan for the day was to cover Gorni Temple, a short trek into Khosrov Nature Reserve and the Gheghard Monastery. We were impressed as the mini bus arrived at the hotel bang on time, if not a few minutes early. The driver was safe, always a good point, and our guide was the excellent, knowledgeable Lilit Suchyan.

I asked the hotel staff about the car I had booked weeks before for the return journey to Tbilisi. The response was the blank, obtuse look only produced by Eastern European hotel receptionists, until Lilit stepped in and without fuss arranged a car for the next morning to Tbilisi.

Hyur organise far more than tours but for more info check their website. I would thoroughly recommend them.

I used the company’s services to arrange excursions outside Yerevan during an independent trip to Armenia in May 2012. Pros: a wide variety of routes, knowledgeable guides who made their stories interesting, and amazingly low prices for excursions (compared not only with Europe but also with neighboring Georgia). There were no hiccups; everything was well organized and followed the advertised itinerary (one of the monasteries was inaccessible because the mountain road leading to it had been closed, but it was replaced with another one). I also arranged accommodation at a hotel in Yerevan through this company—the price was initially a little higher than on the booking website, but as soon as I pointed this out, they gave me the appropriate discount.
Overall: great job. They respond to emails promptly and to the point, run the excursions efficiently and make them interesting, and represent their country with distinction.

We went on the regular tour to Tatev and were delighted despite the bad weather. The guide was knowledgeable, answered almost all our questions, showed us some “special” places, and the food and transfer were excellent. Tours are in three languages, depending on the group. The architectural ensembles are magnificent, but I recommend picking up brochures at the souvenir shops, since there may not be time to cover everything. The most memorable things from the trip: khachkars, the royal tombs, and the ancient observatory (not much to look at, by the way, but the stories and historical facts were amazing).
P.S. I never used to believe in love at first sight, but it seems I was wrong...
If memory serves, our female guide, who was 163 cm tall and had gorgeous curly hair, was called Alla (maybe that wasn’t her name, but never mind);
Anyway, this girl won my heart and soul. I’m inclined to believe that nothing in our lives happens for no reason... So I’d like to invite my personal guide from 28.04.2012 to Russia whenever it’s convenient for her. Respectfully, Sasha G.

We stayed for 11 days & we were very pleased. We appreciated your professionalism in handling matters, by not being pushy rather understanding & supportive. In future visits our first choice will be to stay with you.
Good luck in your future endeavours.

Hello, Marianna! Thank you so much once again for organizing our trip to Armenia! I'm still so impressed. I'm telling my friends about it and recommending Hyur Servise to everyone. Wishing your company continued success, and wishing you good health and all the best!

Dear friends!

Once again, I want to say a huge thank you to your team for organizing the tours.
As always, everything was top-notch!

Wishing you continued success and prosperity.

Dear Hyur service team, thank you!

We had excellent (short notice) tour with Levon and Lilit to Khor Virap, Areni and Noravank. I'm always surprised how much guides know the details of the places where we visit. Lilit handled tour with excellent attitude and humor. Thank you for several good laughs. We were also lucky with weather and landscapes were spectacular. It is sure when I have guests visiting here over weekend we take tour to see Armenia outside Yerevan to see beauty of the nature.

Warm regards
Marko

I found your company completely by chance on the internet. Only now have I realized—nothing in this world happens by chance! Providence itself sent you to me )) You haven't even done anything yet, but one phone call about my inquiry—and I already love you )) And I want May to come SOONER—I can't wait to visit such a friendly and warm country!

Hi everyone We were in Yerevan with a great group for 5 days and used huyr servis’s services....we loved it, great job, the prices are fantastic and they welcomed us warmly....well, all in all, great job, keep it up))) just don’t raise your prices)))))hope we’ll visit you this year

Wonderful memories of this trip we took in May 2011.
A comfortable apartment just a few minutes from the centre, with the amenities described, no unpleasant surprises—a stay we would do again and recommend.
Although we arrived very late (1 a.m.), the welcome was impeccable; the car and driver were waiting for us when we got off the plane.
Organising our stay and excursions was very easy, thanks to the team’s responsiveness. We had arranged everything in advance by email.

Our guide, Varsig, was a real sweetheart, always smiling and speaking perfect French. She delighted us with the legends of her country, summed up its history for us, and introduced us to traditional music. A very special thank you to Varsig, who accompanied us on our excursions every day.
Our driver was also lovely, discreet and always courteous. He took particular care not to jostle us too much on some roads that were not always in very good condition.
The agency’s services are excellent. Don’t hesitate—you can trust them to help you organise your stay. As for us, there were five of us, and we are determined to return to discover Karabakh, with HUYR again and, if possible, with VARSIG and Monsieur LEVON.
