Excellent tour experience with our guide Karen and driver Aro. Karen is fluent in Armenian, English, and Russian and effortlessly explains everything really well. It’s clear he’s very passionate about Armenian history and culture. It was a pleasure having him as our guide. Thank you, Huyr service for another wonderful time!

I went with Edward, there was a group of 20 of us and he was able to do the entire tour in both English and Russian. He had great knowledge of each church and showed everyone a great time

Great tour, great guide. Unfortunately we could not go inside the museum. This could have been arranged in advance and adjusted if people don’t want to join. Apart from that, great!

The tour left at the exact time in a well appointed bus with built in coolers that kept our water bottles cool. Our guide Arpi started the tour with a quick sweep of Armenian history and the Armenian Church.Since the trip was on a Sunday, we could actually see the church services, and the devout Armenian worshippers. We were taken into the crypts where saints were buried, their stories skilfully told by Arpi. I was really astonished when Arpi launched into an explanation about the Armenian Churches belief about Miaphytism, a tough theological topic, with clarity and panache, both in fluent English and Russian! Whether it was Etchmiadzin or theZvartnort ruins, we came away with a deeper appreciation of how the Armenian Church protected and nurtured the Armenian identity through horrific times. Thank you Arpi and driver Spartucus for giving us a wonderful tour!

The tour, with a focus on key religious sites around Yerevan, was fabulous! The driver Sahak was excellent and guide Gayane an absolute gem. She is super knowledgeable and gave just the right amount and required information in a concise and articulate narrative. I learnt so much about Armenian Christianity in a space of a few hours from her. A must do tour when in Yerevan!

Tour guide is very sweet and knowledgeable. She made every effort that we can experience the locations we go. It was a short tour but very enjoyable. I definitely will book with hyur service again if I happen to be in Armenia again.

What a lovely excursion it was, & thanks to Marina for making it an awesome one. She is very knowledgeable, friendly & super kind. She managed a huge group (one bus full of) with ease & handled everything & all of us well.. she did the tour in both Russian & English impeccably, giving tiny to tiny details, while expanding on the spiritual, cultural & historical aspect of the things. If you get to go to this trip, you will get a fair idea of how religion & spirituality shaped up in the Armenian history. This was rather a short trip but totally worth it's while & recommend everyone to take it
