Privat tur til Gyumri gamle bydel og Marmashen kloster

The visited monastery site, the stunning landscapes, and Gyumri with its museum

We visited northern Armenia with our wonderful driver and guide, Araqel (who also took us to the south on another day). The journey itself was stunning, with breathtaking landscapes along the way and truly unforgettable destinations. Gyumri was especially impressive—full of charm and offering beautiful views. Although it was a bit too snowy at the Armenian Alphabet Monument, the experience was still absolutely worth it. I highly recommend this trip. And if you’re lucky enough to have Araqel or Alexander as your driver, you’re in for a treat—they both have deep knowledge of the country’s culture and history and make the experience even more meaningful.

Great day spent with Anush and Sash to the nord-western part to gyumri and monastries. Gentle and perfectly organised! Hyur is always a guarantee!

Armen (driver) and Aref (guide) took great care of us. Gyumri has a very different vibe than Yerevan, and is a must-do for anyone who wants to get a fuller picture of Armenian culture and history. Aref is a wonderful guide. One of the absolute highlights for us of our visit was to experience her singing a hymn for us in an old Armenian church. We would warmly recommend Hyur's services to anyone wanting to set up tours within Armenia.

Arayik, our driver provided excellent experience for us. We had a wonderful and safe trip. I will recommend to book a tour with this company.

The whole trip was really nice. We saw beautiful landscapes although would have been better if we had went during spring but still Gyumri was really nice. What made the whole experience better was Sona’s (our guide) rich information she shared with us and her eagerness to answer all our questions. We also appreciate Hamiq our driver who was indeed very nice and drove us safely until the end of the trip.

NB: the tour included the Harichavank Monastery. This is not the first time we go on a private excursion with Hyur. We appreciate being able to go at our own pace in a small group of friends, with a very reasonable price. As before our excursion was perfect. We had this time taken a guide speaking French, Anoush is a real well of knowledge and speaks perfectly. We were at 6 with friends in a minivan driven by driver Hovanes who is very friendly and drives with caution on sometimes difficult roads. Thanks to them!

The tour is very well organized well framed very interesting on the early 20th century history of the city of Garnie. Churches are also very important for the history of Armenia, as they combine Catholic, Armenian and Orthodox Christianity

We walk along the City, churches and museums. We were entertained and wowed by the illusions Museum, learned about ur beloved poet Hovannes Shiraz and learned about the City's architecture. Thank you for a very enjoyable time!

Excellent day tour with guide Anna and driver Hamik! Both were superb. The tour was extensive and Anna's knowledge of Armenian history brought to life all the buildings and events she was explaining. I especially enjoyed the walk in the old part of the city. We entered several churches built in different centuries. I especially liked the Mother of God church in the main square but the highlight was the Marmashen monastery set in splendid countryside. Great tour!
