Traveller Reviews

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.

We were in Armenia from May 16 to 26, 2011.
We used Gyur Service to book an apartment in Yerevan and a hotel on Sevan.
I recommend this company to independent travelers.
They meet you at the airport and provide a transfer.
In my opinion, the tour program is flexible and convenient. The bus fleet is new. Prices are affordable.

I would have liked more informative and interesting tour guides—after all, Armenia’s history, culture, and epic deserve it. I’d especially recommend that guides talk more during trips about Armenian cuisine (dishes, gastronomic variety, and the production and types of drinks). I liked Artsakh—it’s something extraordinary. You can’t always find it even in Yerevan. Especially the mulberry one, aged for 3 years (I think it’s the gold one). Another masterpiece is apricot vodka. We were returning from Jermuk via the village of Areni, and at the wine tasting they offered us apricot vodka. For some reason, we bought 0.5 L. My wife and I drank it all that same evening over dinner. And it’s pretty strong—somewhere around 60–65%. Later, we regretted not buying more. But you need to buy it there (at the factory), because none of the apricot vodka I bought in Armenia compares to the one from Areni.
First of all, the aroma is so wonderful that if you spill a drop of alcohol on a napkin, you’ll carry that napkin around with you for a long time, savoring its heavenly fragrance. So, for everyone who likes Armenian alcohol, in addition to all the interesting things you’ll come across there, I recommend:
- Artsakh Mulberry (gold)—it’s cognac-colored (a four-sided bottle, 0.5 and 1.0 L), 60%—a good cure for stomach ulcers, by the way. I only saw it in Sevan.
- Artsakh Dogwood (a clear, strong spirit)—available in the Zvartnots Airport duty-free.
- Apricot vodka from the village of Areni. (There is apricot Artsakh in stores, but it’s not as aromatic.)
- Pomegranate wine (you can also find vodka).
- Sudjuk with walnuts—Armenian churchkhela (it can be made from grape juice or mulberries).
Feel free to take all of this home with you.
-Dried peaches stuffed with walnuts and coated in sugar, and much more.
Next time we go to Armenia, I really want to visit the Aragats region and Karabakh, and I’ll use Gyur Service.

With love and respect for Armenians and Armenia, from Belarus, Andrey Petushkov.
By the way, my father served in Echmiadzin from 1959 to 1962
in a tank division. To this day, he fondly remembers the Armenian land and its people.

I’d like to wish your staff a Happy New Year and all the best, good health, and success in everything! I’d especially like to send our warmest wishes to our guide Shushan and driver Armen! We spent three wonderful days with them, and we’re very grateful to them! When any of our friends decides to visit Yerevan, we’ll definitely recommend your agency, and especially Shushan and Armen, as professionals who above all know how to work with people and are also excellent at what they do!
Shushan and Armen, we miss you so much!
Thank you so much for everything!

I used your services in the summer of 2010, but the memories of those trips still warm me and my children. Knowledgeable guides, a friendly atmosphere, a cool bus interior! I could talk endlessly about the trip to Artsakh; everything was organized to a high standard, and the cuisine delighted us with traditional dishes. Where else would my children have tried matsoni made from buffalo milk or jingalov hats?. In short, I felt as if I’d visited my grandmother... my beloved babo...

Thank you so much to all the Hyur team, for a very interesting and enjoyable fortnight in Armenia, May-June 2011.
I took almost every day tour available, and saw many beautiful places. Especially good was the weekend tour with your excellent guide, staying overnight in the Yeghevnut at Goris. And, Tata singing in one of the chambers of Geghard was another highlight.
It was feasible to come to Armenia, only because I was able to make all arrangements of guaranteed accommodation and tours from Australia, beforehand.

May I wish everyone at Hyur, a very happy and prosperous New Year, from Nola Rennie

I stayed in november in Yerevan. The service was excellent and the apartment I rented was much better than i expected. I can recommend hyurservices and will book again through them :-)

Dear agency staff!
Thank you so much for the care and understanding you showed us as guests! Thank you, Anna and Nina, for helping us choose our excursions, and thank you, Tatevik and Levon, for the wonderful stories and comfortable trips over the New Year holidays, when the whole country is taking a break and only restless Russian tourists are eager for new knowledge and experiences :)
After such a warm and kind welcome, we’ll definitely want to return to Armenia—and more than once!
Thank you!!!

We were four people from Norway that stayed in Yerevan eight days in April/May 2011.
We were extremely satisfied with all the services Hyur Service provided for us. We found your assistance with planning the trip very helpful.
The week we stayed in Yerevan was wonderful. You had chosen very interesting daytrips for us. The guides were friendly and had good knowledge of Armenia's history and culture. If we go for a second trip to Armenia we will defenitely use your services again. We have alredy recommended your agency to friends who are planning a trip to Armenia this year.

Best regards
Turid and Harald Oksnevad
