I have ordered excursions from Yur Service in Armenia many times: Garni Temple, Geghard Monastery, Lake Sevan and Sevanavank, Etchmiadzin, Gyumri, Tatev — 8 times in total. The guides are always pleasant and erudite, fluent in Russian. Most of them are ready to tell much more about their beloved Armenia than the tour provides.
I would like to note the drivers separately: they drive very carefully, without exceeding and dangerous overtaking.
I also like the integrated approach to organizing excursions. Most often, one day tour includes visits to temples and /or museums, as well as some entertainment formats. And definitely a delicious lunch.
You can definitely entrust your acquaintance with Armenia to Yur Service!
We went along the route Amberd Fortress-Mount Aragats-oz. Kari - dried fruit production -Sagmosavank - Alphabet Alley.
Most of all, I wanted to visit Lake Kari, and it's really beautiful and cool there, the water doesn't feel very cold, but unfortunately the parking lot is very small - 20 minutes, you can't even wet your feet. Almost everything we've seen is beautiful. Lunch was served at the dried fruit factory, I liked the lunch. It's not very interesting at the factory itself, because in fact there are only trays with drying fruits.
In our car, the tour was only in Russian, the English-language tour was in another car. It would be nice if, in the time that has been formed, the guide Susanna would expand her story. As it was, everything went well, the ride in the car was comfortable, there was always cold drinking water.
We went on excursions to the Shaki Waterfall, the cable car, the Tatev Monastery and the In Areni wine factory.
One of the advantages is the excellent driver Nurik, we drove very carefully all the way, the guide Marina is good, no incidents, collection on time, water is provided, gat, monastic apples.
Among the disadvantages, the tour began with a winery, where the representative, when she tried to tell something, could not be heard, because you were standing near the equipment that was working. They are immediately asked to move away from the grapes lying a meter away from the group of 30 people. There were 3 types of dry wine at the tasting, 30-40 ml each, at the bottom of the glass. The wine itself (not subjectively, the group responded about the same way) is not very good.
We need to review the daily routine, because there were only 30 minutes at the very beautiful Shaki waterfall, of which the way to the waterfall was at a walking pace of 7 minutes - until we reached it, a couple of photos, and we already had to run back, which was very frustrating. It seemed that there were few stories everywhere except the monastery - we drove most of the way without information. The climate on the bus is incomprehensible - someone is very hot, a man in a jacket is freezing next to him, it was not possible to adjust the air conditioning.
Once again, I used the services of Hyur Service and enjoyed it.
A well-planned tour, narration. I learned a lot about the sights of Armenia. Karen's guide provided information in a very interesting way, it was especially interesting to hear the origin of the names of sights and cities, in addition, Karen has colorful chips that I will not disclose, but I promise that it will not leave anyone indifferent. And it is very valuable that the tour is in 2 languages - you listen in Russian, you fix it in English)
I would like to separately mention the driver of Araik, who, despite the size of a huge bus, drove very carefully through all difficult turns, very comfortable driving, the driver is from God.
I really liked the excursion to Lake Sevan and the monasteries. The driver Arai drove carefully along the entire route, it was calm with him. The guide Marina told interesting stories and answered questions along the route. It was nice to hear about the history of Armenia, Yerevan and the places we visited. Beautiful views of Lake Sevan, and from the cable car. We took a lot of photos and videos. I liked the lunch too, it's delicious and there is a choice. We are also planning to go on other excursions from this company. By the way, they were also recommended to me by a colleague who had previously visited Yerevan. In general, I recommend it, you will not regret it!
We went to Khor Virap, Geghard, Garry and the Azat reservoir a couple of days ago
I really liked everything, a comfortable bus with air conditioning and water. The driver of the Norik is simply amazing, they carefully avoided all the traffic jams and did not even notice the road
The guide Karen told everything in great detail and interestingly, there were no questions (and he also sings very beautifully)
The whole tour was held in a comfortable environment, the guide told what, where and why, how much time there is, how to go to the toilet and many, many things
I treated you to a delicious gata
We are already thinking about the next tour, we really liked everything
The service has convenient brochures for choosing the right tour for every taste and budget
We really enjoyed the trip. The views are of course very beautiful. The air is wonderful. The food is delicious. Marina is a very pleasant guide. It's interesting to tell. Kind. The driver, Ike, drives the car very carefully. Polite. Good. The whole trip was comfortable. Air conditioning, water in the car. We were satisfied. And in general, all the people who met us on the tour are friendly. We are satisfied and grateful☺
I was on a tour of the places of Khor Virap, Areni winery and bird cave. I really liked it, for this money it's just a gift! The organization is on the level, they took away and brought it on time, Russian and English groups, a comfortable bus with wifi, water and a bun. Be sure to bring your phones, cameras, the views are breathtaking! I would also like to note the excellent driving: the main road leads along a serpentine (we had a Norik driver). The tour can be paid on the spot in cash, it is advisable to come at least the day before, otherwise the places are quickly dismantled. By the way, excursions on the street are at the same prices, but the question is safety. Thanks a lot to the guide Karen, amazing presentation of information, humor and overall attitude to the guests. With this attitude, I want to return to the country again and again)) p.s. If you come early to the appointed time of departure from the office, you can take a good seat on the bus, keep this in mind))
Excellent company, convenient buses, professional guides, convenient location in the center of Yerevan. I was on a tour of the Garni temple, the Geghard monastery and the lavash baking workshop, the Vardui guide told me everything in great detail, interesting, friendly and pleasant girl. The driver of the Khachik drove very carefully and was pleasant to communicate with.
We spent wonderful May holidays with my wife in Yerevan. We ordered an excursion program for 6 days at Hyur service. We visited many wonderful places - from Tatev to Amberd fortress. The tours were organized in an individual format, which implies a comfortable car with a driver and a guide. Our tour was accompanied by a wonderful guide Rosa. The tours were conducted at the highest level. There were a lot of interesting excursions into the history of Armenia from different eras and the history of the sights visited. Many thanks to Rosa!!! (Highly recommended)
We chose a full-day excursion, visited the Khor Virap Monastery with an impeccable view of Mount Ararat, Areni Cave and Noravank Monastery. We ate a delicious barbecue, visited a wine tasting)) The young man and I are absolutely delighted with the time we spent! The guide Manya gives an incredibly interesting insight into the history and culture of Armenia. The trip itself took place in complete comfort - a modern bus with air conditioning and free chilled water. The driver Joseph politely fulfilled the wishes of tourists to make a stop and take a picture))
I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to plunge into the local flavor and feel the Armenian atmosphere))
I would like to express my gratitude to the guides Vardui, Tigran, Gayana and Marina for interesting, informative and very informative excursions! All well done! Some of the excursions were long, with incredibly difficult roads. But this did not cause a feeling of anxiety, the buses were operated by Hokop PROFESSIONALS (if I made a little mistake in the name, I'm sorry. The trip was on 16.09 to Garni) and Norik. Thank you all!
And now there are some shortcomings in the organization. I bought a tour with an approved tour schedule. Why would I go to the same winery two days in a row? I consider this a flaw. Of course, everything was settled, the route was changed. But... The second point. When buying a tour, it is necessary to specify the departure date for ordering a transfer. And if you haven't bought a return ticket yet, then it's impossible to place an order. You have to fill in any information. This creates anxiety for office workers and guests. Maybe to buy a tour, you can give the opportunity to fill out an order without a departure date?
I wish Yur Service further development! I will recommend it to my friends.
I was on tours on 05/25/2024 to Georgia and 05/28/2024 Virap-Noravank-Tatev Choir. Everything went great. On both tours, Tatev's guide is beyond praise. Drivers Khachik and Joseph are real masters of their craft. I especially want to note that the moca was in Georgia, the road was washed away. I had to go back through another checkpoint. The queue is unrealistic. Tatev's guide called the company, another bus was sent to meet us, we crossed the border on foot, Khachik heroically stayed in line, and a new bus met us and took us to Yerevan. Many thanks to all employees of the company!
The tour was well organized, and our guide Vardui told us about the history and peculiarities of the Armenian Church in an interesting way. In addition to the Garni Temple and the Geghard Monastery, a pleasant addition was a visit to the Symphony of Stones gorge, which impressed with its unusual beauty. The program also included a master class on making lavash, which we rather did not do, but tasted. Lavash, fresh from tandoor, cheese and fresh herbs - it was a very tasty and authentic point at the end of our trip.
We went on an excursion to the monasteries of Khor Virap, Novarank, Tatev + cable car. The longest (15 hours). A wonderful tour, I really liked everything! A rich program for the whole day, a delicious lunch, a comfortable bus, and a high-class driver have been competently formed. We are delighted with the work of the guide in two languages at once! We received a lot of interesting and informative information. We recommend the Yur Service company to everyone!
The tour to Tatev with this company was just excellent, I especially want to thank our amazing guide Anahit, who explained everything, told and showed everything just fine, and the driver Ovsep coped with the road wonderfully, drove through all the serpentines smoothly and without sharp turns)
If you go on an excursion, then only if the guide is Asleep, and the driver is asleep))
We went to Garni, Geghard and Sevan with the guide Manya and the driver Spartak. Super! A whole day in the incredible places of Armenia, accompanied by a wonderful guide and an ace driver. It's just a soulful trip! We have something to compare it with — before that, we took "excursions" with private traders on the street. It's also fun, but it's not organized at all and not as informative. With Hyur, everything is clear in time and place. A large comfortable bus with wifi, water bottles and even a snack. Special thanks for the awesome lunch at the Abelian family and the lavash baking master class!!!
I really liked the organization and the excursion to Haghpat this Monday. Ashot, the driver, and Karen, the tour guide, were with us. I am very grateful to them for such an interesting tour, stories, positive mood, humor. The tour was in 2 languages, I was happy to practice in English, but next time I would like to speak completely in Russian to learn more about the history and facts about Armenia, because I know very little about it so far. The bus is very comfortable, a small group, which is also comfortable, water bottles, air conditioning is adjustable for each seat. Lunch pleased both meat eaters and vegetarians, it was very tasty on the terrace overlooking the mountains and the fortress. The only thing that was missing was arriving at some beautiful natural location with a view, and walking along it to take pictures in nature, untouched by man, a waterfall or a canyon, you don't have to go to some monastery for this, there were many of them. It was a wonderful day in the mountains! I'm just happy. Special thanks to Karen for singing the psalms!
In April, we visited Armenia and used this tour operator. Excursions:
1. Monastery of Khor Virap, Cave of Birds, winery, Noravank monastery (guided tour by Eduard);
2. Lake Sevan, Sevanavak Monastery, Dilijan, Goshavank Monastery, Haghartsin Monastery (Davad guide);
3. Etchmiadzin, Zvartnots (guide Eduard).
Friendly girls in the office, professional drivers. The organization of excursions at a high level is comfortable transportation, everything is timely and clear. Special thanks and admiration to our guides - they are competent, erudite, tactful and friendly. They gave us wonderful memories of the beauties of Armenia.
We went on a long tour to the Tatev Monastery on the famous Tatev Wings!!! The sensations are indescribable!! Thank you very much to our driver Spartak for the wonderful turns on the road-worthy of applause!! And of course to our guide Eduard for a very interesting and informative tour! And as always, we were pleasantly pleased with sweets and cold water on the road, and of course a delicious lunch in the middle of the way with wine and cognac tasting!!! If there are excursions in Armenia, only here! And by the way, a nice bonus is taking a taxi to the hotel))
Great company! It's not the first time I'm going on excursions with hyur service, comfortable buses, interesting stories from the guide Susanna, and I can't help but note the high level of driving of the Norik driver. There is always cold water on buses, and WiFi always works great. In addition, hyur has a large selection of excursions to all places in Yerevan and Armenia, every day wherever you want - you will never be bored! If you need to see all the sights of Armenia, only with hyur!
We traveled with this agency to the northern part of Armenia to various monasteries. Everything went perfectly, despite the serpentine, the driver walked carefully and did not get seasick. Special thanks to the guide Karen, he told a very interesting story all the way, sings well and is erudite.
I also want to note that there were no unnecessary visits to all sorts of souvenir and useless shops, all stops on business. Thank you, I recommend it.
An amazing tour operator)
We didn't have any expectations.
A very affordable price tag for such a busy program. The guide is at the highest level! Manya and Araik (the driver). She talks very interestingly, without water, answers all questions, is friendly and customer-oriented) I'm absolutely thrilled! And all this is further supported by the magnificent landscapes of Armenia)
The bus is comfortable. Water and treats are included. There is an air conditioner)
We went on excursions with my husband to the Virap Choir, the bird cave and the winery. I really liked everything, although we are not big fans of excursions, the guide Karen is wonderful and interesting in presenting information. There was a great lunch at the Areni winery, super fast service (Karen asked in advance about food wishes and we chose everything on the way), wine tasting (we bought a couple of bottles home), told about the production and took us there. The churches and the views are amazing, be sure to take cameras. And also take dog food with you, there are local beggars meeting from the bus)
On the Wi-Fi bus, it's very convenient! There is water in the fridge and buns for a snack
We definitely want to go with this company and the same guide to other trips. Thanks!
Excellent, high-quality, with insurance, we took a big bus to Lake Sevan, Dilijan and temples, there is water in the hololith and Wi-Fi on the bus for free!
The guides speak Russian, English, and, of course, Armenian.
Lunch can be chosen from the waiters, paid separately, took chicken and potatoes - very tasty, the portions are large, in addition to them there are salads and pickles, cheeses, water / lemonades for drinks, as well as tea / coffee, dessert.
Flaw: there is a small problem with toilets on the route at the points of the drains (somewhere there is no water, somewhere there are no toilets)
Thanks a lot to the guide Marina and the driver Norair. We went with them to the winery and monasteries. Marina tells the story clearly and fascinatingly, Norair masterfully drives a large bus. I think we're lucky to have them. And in general, Yur liked the Service very much: we were picked up by car from the hotel and brought to the main office, inside the friendly staff answered questions and pointed to the necessary buses. The buses are clean, there is water in the refrigerator (which I especially liked, I had never seen such a thing before that they gave water for everyone), treats are distributed at the first stops. The guides speak three languages, which is also great. Overall, the impression of Yur Service is only positive!
We were in Yerevan in June at the artistic anthem competitions and used the Yur Service. The tour was well organized, and our guide Rosa told us about the history and peculiarities of the Armenian Church in an interesting way. In addition to the Garni Temple and the Geghard Monastery, a pleasant addition was a visit to the Symphony of Stones gorge, which impressed with its unusual beauty. The program also included a master class on making lavash, where we made and tasted it. Lavash, fresh from tandoor, cheese and fresh herbs - it was very tasty, lunch was waiting for us very tasty. The driver is the best!!! Our group with children especially liked Lake Sevan. We recommend it to everyone.
Excellent organization, everything is clear. Thanks to our driver Norik and guide Tigran😊 We went to Khor Virap, Garni and Gerard 08.05.2024
We stopped for lunch with a stunningly hospitable Armenian family and saw how lavash was being prepared.
Lots of impressions.
The bus is comfortable, with air conditioning, there is water and gata (local sweetness)
Thank you for a wonderful stay!
Yesterday we were on the second excursion from this tourist office, on Lake Sevan. The tour was eventful with beautiful views along the way. The bus is very comfortable. Many thanks to the driver Joseph! I really liked Dilijan. The lunch was delicious with the freshest trout. Karen's guide talked a lot and interestingly about the history and culture of Armenia. We recommend this tour and the tour desk. Let's go with them again!
We visited Lake Sevan, Sevanavank Monastery, Dilijan, Goshavank Monastery, Haghartsin Monastery. I liked everything very much!
Many thanks to the Davit guide! A person who knows the entire history of his country in such detail will answer any question that interests you, he will be interested from the first minute! A recommendation from the bottom of my heart. ❤️
And of course, words cannot convey how beautiful Armenia is, you just have to see it.
I was on an excursion to the monastery of Khor Virap, the cave of birds, the winery, in Areni, the monastery of Noravank, everything was just wonderful! Starting with the care of the company (there is a sufficient amount of water on the bus, and at + 30 it is incredibly important, ending with excellent historical information about monasteries and Armenia!
We had a double group - Russian/ English and I want to say that the guide coped with his task 100%! Not a single group was left without attention! I was satisfied, as I think all the band members are!
Our guide is Eduard, the driver is Norik! Thank you for a wonderful day!
We were on two excursions. At first, on the first tour: Areni, waterfall, Tatev and cable car, the impressions were mixed. I didn't like the wine tasting. Shiki Waterfall was also not impressed, nothing special. BUT!!! Tatev Monastery and the cable car left only positive emotions! This is really what it's worth going on this tour for. But from the second tour :Garni, Geghard, Lake Sevan, the lavash baking workshop were delighted from the first minute. As soon as the guide David boarded the bus, I immediately realized that the tour would be excellent! That's how it turned out. A very eventful and interesting tour. Special thanks to David!!! He tells a lot and it's interesting! I think that a good guide is a guarantee that the tour will be excellent! Special thanks to the drivers Nurik and the second driver (sorry, I forgot my name), professionals in their field! We drove carefully, but how he drove along the serpentine!!!! Well done! Many thanks to them and David! In addition, I want to draw attention to lunch. It's really delicious! This is a rare case when the food on the tour is delicious. Yes, lunch is at your own expense, but it is much better than lunch, which is included in the price of the tour and which is not possible to eat. Thank you all! I will recommend you to everyone!
A very good company that organizes various excursions around Armenia every day. Almost every day on vacation we went along different and amazing routes. Comfort is thought out in each route: there is cold drinking water in small bottles, which is very saving in the heat. The routes are well thought out, each has different activities and different places. There is always an opportunity to have lunch in a beautiful and cozy place at a large table. Thank you
We would like to express our gratitude to Companti Yur service for the magnificent tours of Armenia. The service is at the highest possible level. The routes are very well thought out, the excursion programs are interesting, the cleanest comfortable buses, the best guides and drivers! An unforgettable experience and a great vacation!
We ordered an excursion “Khor Virap Monastery, view of
Azatskoye
Reservoir, Garni Temple, Lavash baking workshop,Monastery
Geghard.” I really liked it, a comfortable bus, a pleasant and sociable guide Tigran and an attentive, neat driver Nurik, a delicious lunch. Thank you.
An excellent travel company. I chose an excursion on the website, paid for it and came at the appointed time. Everything is top notch, the bus is clean, the driver is a professional Spartak Jan.
A wonderful guide, Manya, tells a very interesting story and is just a pleasant woman, answers any questions (up to the weather forecast)
The trip is 100% worth the money!
3.03.24 my husband and I visited the tour: Tsakhkadzor, Sevan.
I really liked the wonderful organization, beautiful places, informative information from the guide, a delicious lunch! Everything is very well planned, well timed, a professional Spartak driver. He drove our group on a large comfortable bus. The guide Maria spoke about everything perfectly in two languages - English and Russian. It is almost impossible to find it now. And it was very important to us. Thank you so much for a wonderful day and positive impressions! We are very glad that we have chosen your company!
Good afternoon. Today, on 04/18/24, we went on an excursion to Tsakhkadzor and Lake Sevan. Our guide Eduard gave us all the information very well. Accessible and interesting. We really liked everything. We use your services, not for the first time. Everything is at the highest level. Special thanks to the driver Spartak. Sincerely, Anna Mirgorodskaya, Lada, Tatiana. Bashkortostan. Ufa.
I recently took a wonderful tour, and it left an unforgettable impression! Garni Temple surprised with its architecture and beautiful views. The symphony of stones struck with unique geological formations. The Geghard Monastery, hollowed out of the rock, was atmospheric and unusual, with interesting historical facts from the guide.
The lavash baking workshop has become a real culinary experience! I really enjoyed the fresh pita bread and learned about the local traditions.
The tour was well organized, and I am very pleased with the time spent
On July 27, we went on an excursion to Garni, Geghard and the symphony of stones. Stunning views, the nature of Armenia is impressive! Interesting historical information from David's guide! Everything is great! Thanks to the driver Hakob for driving accurately. Thanks to the company for a perfectly organized trip!
On 09/18/2024, my husband and I visited an excursion to Etchmiadzin. We were accompanied by the guide Tigran and the driver Norik. Everything was organized wonderfully by the travel agency. Excursions were booked in advance from Moscow. There were no overlaps or inconsistencies. On the route, the guide provided a large amount of travel information, was extremely polite, friendly, and answered questions in detail. Sufficient free time was provided, and a timely gathering of the group was organized for further departure along the route. Many thanks to the accompanying staff and the entire travel agency team for the excellent organization of the tour. We have two more excursions planned at this travel agency and we hope that they will be held at the same high level of service. Thanks to all the staff.
We took an excursion to the Tatev monastery, we liked everything very much. Quite comfortable buses, an excellent guide. For such distances that we have traveled, the cost is simply excellent. Lunch is not included, but the cost and quality of the food in the restaurant, where lunch is served, were pleasantly pleased. They will also pre-order for you on the way, so you will not have to choose and wait for dishes for a long time.
The Virap - Noravank - Tatev Choir was on an excursion. Everything went well, breathtaking landscapes and cultural monuments, as well as an interesting excursion into the history, way of life and culture of Armenia. many thanks to the guide Garen and the driver Spartak, for a great time!)
20.09 we were on an excursion along the route Garni Temple-Geghard-oz monastery. Sevan, Sevanavank monastery. Everything went great, we really liked it!
09/23/2024 we took an excursion: Khor Virap Monastery-the production line of the In Areni winery (with tasting of white, pink, red dry wine and a chic lunch), then the cave of birds (excavations of the cultural layers of the ancient man's stay), Noravank monastery and return to Yerevan. We are absolutely delighted with the tour!!!
Excellent trip organization, a good guide, Manya, and a careful driver, Joseph. Manya told everything in great detail, answered any questions that arose, was very friendly and friendly! We took a tour of Khor Virap, Bird Cave, In Areni Winery and Noravank. A very tasty lunch (paid separately). Thanks!
An excellent agency with pleasant prices, competent staff, they will tell you everything and help you. The guides are excellent, they tell a very informative story.
Clean and comfortable buses with free WiFi, cold water and treats!
I recommend it!
Today we visited the temples of Khor Virap, Garni and Geghard. Many thanks for the wonderful tour and the road to Karen and the driver Norik. The beautiful nature and weather made this tour even more unforgettable. Armenia has become more familiar and understandable for us thanks to Karen's interesting and informative story and answers to our questions.
We were on an excursion to Noravank (tour guide Eduard, driver Joseph). I liked the trip, the most beautiful views, the guide knows his job very well, tells a very interesting story, the driver even stopped for an additional stop for a photo on the highway with beautiful views. 9 hours flew by unnoticed. We recommend this company, we'll do it ourselves!
We express our deep gratitude to the guide Marina and the driver Norik and the entire Yur Service company for a well-organized tour: Khor Virap tour, Bird Cave, In Areni Winery, Noravank - I really liked it: kindness, competence, excellent organization of the tour!!! Thank you very much!!!
We went on an excursion with a friend on 12.09.24. The guide Karen is just super. A very interesting storyteller. The bus and the driver are also great. The bus is modern with air conditioning. Chilled bottled water is provided. A good cultural program. Tour. I liked the company
