“The tour was organised by Hyur services & tour guide tried his best from explaining the history behind the monuments we covered, however the Resturant they selected for our lunch was pathetic (still an understatement), staff was very rude, screaming yelling at all the guest looked bizarre. From the food to the service all poor, chaotic, unorganised. She did not even apologised after misbehaving with guests. Never ever had such experiences before, disappointed, otherwise lake Sevan an amazing 🤩 experience, very beautiful.”

For a convenient and informative tour of Armenian history, culture and food, I couldn't recommend this tour enough.”

“The tour was overall enjoyable and well-organized. We appreciated the cold complimentary water and the excellent AC in the car, which made the ride comfortable. Our guide, Anna, was very friendly and spoke good English. The food offered during the tour was both tasty and reasonably priced. However, the time distribution at the stops felt a bit uneven - some places were rushed while others dragged on. Our driver, Armen, drove a bit aggressively at times.”

“I would not recommend this trip to other travellers. The company said that seats can’t be reserved so we took our seats on the bus and apparently the seat was reserved by someone with a half empty bottle of water, which we thought was rubbish. She was rude and aggressive to us. She then got a member of staff and she was rude and unhelpful saying find another seat, but by the time this woman came on the bus it was 2 mins before the trip was due to depart so there was no seats together and the member of staff wouldn’t ask any solo travellers to sit together for…”
