It was a great trip, even for a solo traveler. Everything worked perfectly, and from start to finish, it took approximately six hours. Eduardo was a great guide with a good sense of humor. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Excellent communication from Hyur Service! Easy check-in, and our van was very comfortable. The complementary water and WiFi were a nice bonus as well. Our Garni temple, Symphony of Stones, Geghard monastery and Lavash Baking tour was incredible. Sam was an awesome guide! He provided fantastic explanations at all of our stops, and this kind gentleman went out of his way to make everyone feel welcome.

Total 5 stops on the trip from 10 am to 4 pm. View point of mount Ararat, Garni Temple, Lavash baking, symphony of stones and Gehard monastery. Decent time at every location. Free water but no lunch break. Gayane our tour guide kept us informed and timely.

All stops are great, probably the best monastery of armenia, beautiful location of the pagan temple and symphony of stones. Not many hours like most other tours . Must do.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
We deeply appreciate your positive review! It would be an honor to host you again in the future!
Rene_T, Sep 2025
Our group of 15 or so people packed so much into six hours, across Garni, Gegherd and the Symphony of Stones. Our our guide was very friendly and knowledgable too. To be honest, everything was really well organised from the moment I arrived at their office in downtown Yerevan (which was really easy to find). Booking said there was no lunch, but there was plenty of Lavash bread, Armenian cheese and herbs to go around. Thanks very much!
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Your satisfaction is our greatest reward! We look forward to seeing you on future adventures in Armenia!
Alexander_V, Jul 2025
Would highly recommend this tour - our tour guide Gayane and driver Arman were amazing throughout. We weren’t rushed at any stop and saw some spectacular views on our journey. Gayane was very patient and insightful, providing us with information about every stop whilst allowing us time to explore ourselves also. Thank you very much!

-With Knowledgeable and kind tour guide and comfortable transport, this day tour provides good coverage of landmarks in the region. But the explore time may be slightly shorter than expected.

The trip captures very nice sightseeing spots in Armenia. The time at each stop is good. Unfortunately the A/C was not working, so it was a very hot ride back to Yerevan
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the sightseeing and timing of the tour. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the A/C issue during the return trip — this is certainly not the level of comfort we aim to provide, and we’ve addressed the matter with our technical team.
Liana_C, Apr 2025
Very nice, got to see some fresh snow fall and a local Christening. Symphony of Rocks was a unique site to visit. The Tour guide, Hayk, and driver, Hayk, were friendly and knowledgable. If you get motion sickness you might want to lay off the sweets before this ride or wear SeaBands, as the roads are bumpy.

Erica_P, Sep 2024
I have no hesitations giving this tour 5 stars, as everything was well put together from the start, and was just the right length/ distance/ comfort level. From the time we showed up at the appointed place, we checked in and were told which bus was ours, what time we'd leave, etc. and we even left 2 min early once everyone was on board.
The guide Tatev & driver Sahak were both excellent, particularly Tatev who spoke great English and did a really wonderful job of explaining not only all the sights we were there to visit, but giving us plenty of helpful info up front, which is not always the case with these tours. She answered all our questions and seemed very knowledgeable but also passionate about the info she shared.
The bus itself was comfy, with just the right amount of space for your legs, chilled water available, reliable wifi on board, and good strong AC.
We did this tour on our last day in Armenia, but if it had not been I would probably have booked another with the same company, and in fact half the guests on our bus knew each other from previous tours, so they obviously get repeat customers. 10/10 - would definitely recommend.

Thanks a million! We will be glad to host you whenever you decide to visit us again!

What an AMAZING tour!
Our guide ANNA was passionate, knowledgeable and extremely available to answer all our possible questions about the trip and about Armenia in general.
The medieval Geghard monastery was a beautiful experience to see and experience, and we also had some really fun moments preparing Lavash with my wife who is not a great chef but who made the whole group laugh!
therefore recommended!

Sara_S, May 2023
This was our first tour of three.
Pros:
•The bus ride wasn’t long. We were on a big tour bus that was comfortable. If you want your pick of seats, make sure you get to the tour office an hour early.
•The lavash demo was well done and very tasty.
•Cold water bottles and a traditional cookie were provided.
Cons:
•The Tour guide was very thorough and he spoke English very well, but having a large group split between Russian and English was a bit annoying. The guide had to switch back and forth throughout the tour, so one group or the other had to wait, sometimes for 30 minutes. The group couldn’t coalesce.
•Make sure to bring small change for bathrooms.
•Bring snacks.
