De Garni tempel, die boven een driehoekige kaap uittorent, is het unieke voorbeeld van de heidense cultuur in Armenië. Het is een mix van Grieks-Romeinse en Armeense stijlen. Koning Trdat De Eerste gaf in de eerste eeuw na Christus opdracht tot de bouw van de tempel en wijdde deze aan de God van de Zon.Na de aanneming van het christendom in 301 verloor de heidense tempel zijn betekenis en werd het fort van Garni de zomerresidentie van de koningen. Tegenwoordig zijn de ruïnes van het koninklijk paleis en de badkamer met een prachtig mozaïekwerk te vinden bij de tempel. De gast krijgt een kans om deel te nemen aan Lavash bakproces in de buurt.
In Garni canyon kan men prachtige geologische monumenten verkennen, vertegenwoordigd door zuilvormige basalten, die het resultaat zijn van lavastromen. Basaltmassa's worden opgedeeld in polyhedrale kolommen, die vanwege hun regelmatigheid van vorm de naam "Basaltisch Orgel" hebben gekregen.
Het Geghardklooster is het onovertroffen meesterwerk van de 13e-eeuwse Armeense architectuur. Sommige kerken van het complex zijn meesterlijk uitgehouwen in een enorme rots. Vanaf het begin heette het complex Ayrivank (grottenklooster), later werd het omgedoopt tot Geghard (lans) omdat de lans, die door de Romeinse soldaat werd gebruikt om de kant van Jezus Christus te steken, vele eeuwen in dit klooster werd bewaard. Vanwege de constructie dient Geghardavank de beste plek voor het zingen van spirituele liederen. Het complex is rijk aan subtiele sculpturale verfraaiingen en vele opvallende khachkars (kruisstenen). De site is opgenomen in de UNESCO Werelderfgoedlijst.

We had a great experience with Hyur Service. Our driver, Aro, was very professional, kind, punctual, and helpful throughout the trip. He drove safely, made us feel comfortable, and gave us a very pleasant experience. Everything was well organized and smooth from start to finish. I highly recommend Hyur Service, especially if you are lucky to have Aro as your driver.
Thank you for the warm words! Thank you for choosing our company! Hope to have another chance to host you!
We had a wonderful day visiting Garni, Geghard, Symphony of Stones and the lavash baking masterclass. Hayk was an excellent guide who shared so many interesting facts and stories, making the tour both educational and enjoyable. It was also a real highlight to hear him play the duduk. A big thank you to our driver, David, for the safe and comfortable ride. Highly recommended!
We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed your time with us! Hope to welcome you back to Armenia soon!

Мы очень ценим Ваши теплые слова! Ждем Вас снова в Армении!
All tours with Hyur are good and well organized. This is a short tour. Garni temple is unique in Armenia and the Symphony of Stones was very nice too. If you have little time in Yerevan, this tour should be on your priority list as you get to see a bit of everything: Lavash making (which is quite an experience) - with tasting, Garni unique temple, the rock formation at the Symphony of Stones, a monastery and the Arch of Charents from where the view is fantastic on a clear day. Our guide on this day was Marina who is very good.
The nice experience of our customers is our priority! Thank you for your highest mark!
Gayane was a wonderful guide and had great knowledge of the sites we visited. Ashot the driver got us to our destinations safe and sound.
It’s so nice to hear that you were satisfied with our services. You can surely rely on our company in future as well!
My family took a private tour with Sasha and Rose to Garni, Geghard, and symphony of stones. We also stopped at the Mt. Ararat viewing point, which was stunning. It was such a perfect day! Their hospitality had no end, and took every caution to help us with our baby who was along for the ride. Rose has an in depth knowledge of all things Armenia, and I walked away having learned so much. Sasha was an excellent driver, so funny, and very helpful. They also took us to a beautiful garden restaurant Abelyan House for lunch. I would recommended Hyur to anyone looking for a guide to Armenia, and especially ask for Rose and Sasha! You will love it I have no doubt
Thanks so much for your fantastic review! We would love to host you again whenever you return!
The tour was fantastic; I especially want to thank the driver Karen and the guide Samvel. Professionalism, seriousness, and competence.
Grazie tante per il bel feedback! Siete sempre benvenuti in Armenia!
I had a wonderful day tour with Hyur Service exploring some of Armenia's most iconic attractions. The journey included the magnificent Garni Temple, the breathtaking Symphony of Stones, a memorable traditional lavash-making experience, and the stunning Geghard Monastery nestled within the dramatic mountain gorge. The scenery throughout the day was absolutely spectacular. From towering basalt columns and rugged cliffs to lush green valleys, rushing mountain streams, and ancient monasteries carved into the rock itself, every stop offered incredible photo opportunities and a deeper appreciation of Armenia's natural beauty and rich history. A special thank you to our guide, Giyame, whose knowledge, enthusiasm, and storytelling brought each location to life. He shared fascinating insights into Armenia's culture, traditions, and heritage, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. Our driver, Ashot, was excellent throughout the trip. His safe and professional driving allowed us to relax and fully enjoy the beautiful landscapes along the route. The entire tour was very well organized, perfectly timed, and excellent value for money. If you're visiting Armenia and want to experience its history, culture, and natural beauty in a single day, I highly recommend Hyur Service. Many thanks to Giyame and Ashot for making this such a memorable experience!
We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed your time with us! Hope to welcome you back to Armenia soon!
