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.

Поездка в Армению в мае 2012

Auto-translatedI 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.

Воспользовался услугами компании для организации экскурсий за пределы Еревана во время самостоятельной поездки в Армению в мае 2012. Плюсы: большое разнообразие маршрутов, знающие и интересно рассказывающие гиды, удивительно низкие цены на экскурсии (по сравнению не только с Европой, но и с соседней Грузией). Накладок не было, всё было четко организовано в соответствии с заявленной программой (один из монастырей был недоступен, т.к. закрыли горную дорогу к нему - но его заменили на другой). Также оформлял через эту компанию проживание в гостинице в Ереване - цена вначале была чуть выше, чем на системе бронирования, но как только я на это указал, сделали соответствующую скидку.
В целом: молодцы, оперативно и по делу отвечают на письма, четко и интересно проводят экскурсии, достойно представляют свою страну. -

Auto-translatedWe 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.

Грамотный гид, ответила почти на все вопросы, показала "особые" места, питание и трансфер на высоте. Экскурсии на 3-х языках, зависит от состава группы. Архитектурные ансамбли великолепны, но рекомендую брать брошюры в сувенирных магазинах, ибо не всё может быть охвачено за отведенное время. Самое запоминающееся из поездки: Хачкары, надгробные могилы царей, древняя обсерватория (ничего такого, кстати, но рассказ и исторические факты потрясающие).
P.S. Я раньше не верил в любовь с первого взгляда, но похоже ошибался...
Если мне не изменяет память, нашего девушку гида рост 163 см, с великолепными вьющимися волосами зовут Алла(возможно не так, да и ладно);
Так вот, эта девушка покорила моё сердце и душу, я склонен верить, что всё делается в нашей жизни не просто так... Посему приглашаю своего личного гида от 28.04.2012 в Россию в любое удобное ей время. С уважением Саша Г. -

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. -

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

Auto-translatedWonderful memories of this trip we took in May 2011.
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.

Superbes souvenirs de ce voyage effectué en mai 2011.
Un appartement confortable à quelques minutes du centre, avec les commodités telles que dans le descriptif, aucune mauvaise surprise, un séjour à recommencer et à recommander.
Bien que nous soyons arrivés très tard ( 1h du matin) l'accueil a été impeccable, la voiture et le chauffeur nous attendaient à la descente de l'avion.
L'organisation du séjour et des excursions a été très facile, grace à la réactivité de l'équipe, nous avions tout programmé à l'avance par échange de Mail.
Notre guide, Varsig,un amour de jeune fille, toujours souriante avec un français parfait, elle a su nous régaler des légendes de son pays, nous en résumer l'histoire, nous faire découvrir la musique traditionnelle. Un merci tout particulier à Varsig qui nous accompagnait chaque jour dans nos excursions.
Notre chauffeur aussi était adorable, discret, toujours courtois, il prenait particulièrement garde à ne pas trop nous secouer sur certaines routes pas toujours en très bon état.
Les prestations de l'agence,sont excellentes, n'ayez aucun doute vous pouvez leur faire confiance pour vous aider à organiser votre séjour, pour notre part, nous étions 5 et sommes bien décidés à retourner découvrir le karabagh, toujours avec HUYR et si possible avec VARSIG et Monsieur LEVON.
