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.
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.
Tsaghkadzor stad (vertaald als vallei van bloemen) wordt beschouwd als een van de meest populaire wintersportplaatsen van Armenië. Het is een van de plaatsen van ons bergachtige land, waar de schoonheid van de natuur verschijnt met zijn hele verscheidenheid. Tsaghkadzor ligt in de regio Kotayk, 60 km ten noorden van Jerevan, op de oostelijke helling van de berg Teghenis, omgeven door ongerepte bossen en alpenweiden. Facultatief : vrije tijd of touwtje rijden
Kecharis klooster ligt in het noordwestelijke deel van Tsaghkadzor. Het werd gebouwd in 11 - 13e eeuw. Het klooster bestaat uit vier kerken en een half verwoest mausoleum van Grigorius Pahlavuni, die de bouw van het klooster financierde.

An amazing 5-star experience from start to finish! If you are visiting Armenia, this tour is a must. Rose is a phenomenal guide who shared her personal perspective on the country, which she evidently and genuinely loves. She struck the perfect balance between sharing her deep knowledge and giving us time to explore. They picked us up right from our hotel in Yerevan, and the entire route was fantastic: we explored Garni, then moved on to the Geghard Monastery, which was a true highlight with its incredible, spiritual energy. We even stopped to buy some mouth-watering local delicacies. After a delicious lunch in Garni, we finished our sightseeing at the magnificent Symphony of Stones. Our driver, Sasha, was absolutely fantastic. He is a quiet driver, but he takes exceptional care of his guests and navigated the roads incredibly safely and efficiently. The air-conditioned car was a lifesaver, and Sasha always started the vehicle early to ensure it was perfectly cool before we got in! What really set this team apart was their genuine care; they protected us from local tourist traps and made sure we stayed out of trouble. It was a lot of fun spending the day with them. After an unforgettable experience, they safely returned us right back to our hotel in Yerevan. Highly recommended!
Our trip around Armenia was absolutely unforgettable, and a huge part of that was thanks to the amazing team at Hyur Service. A heartfelt thank you to Naira, who organized everything behind the scenes. From our very first contact, she was incredibly helpful, responsive, and professional. Every detail of our itinerary was perfectly arranged, making our entire trip completely stress-free. Our deepest thanks also go to Anna and Levon, who made this journey truly exceptional. Anna was an outstanding guide—knowledgeable, passionate, kind, and attentive. She brought Armenia’s history, culture, and traditions to life, and her warmth and enthusiasm made every day even more enjoyable. Levon was equally wonderful. He is an excellent, careful, and safe driver, but above all, an incredibly kind, friendly, and thoughtful person. He always made us feel comfortable and welcome, and his calm professionalism gave us complete peace of mind throughout the trip. Together, Anna and Levon made the perfect team, and traveling with them was an absolute pleasure. We would also like to sincerely thank Hyur Service for providing such outstanding service and for having such exceptional people on their team. Naira, Anna, and Levon are true professionals and wonderful ambassadors for both the company and Armenia. We wholeheartedly recommend Hyur Service to anyone planning to visit Armenia.

Gayane, the guide, and the driver were perfect. Her explanations were understandable even for me, who does not speak English. Flawless organization. I am happy to have booked a tour for tomorrow as well with the Hiur service.

Tour by Hyur Service was organised very well. Driver Aro was a professional driver and made me feel comfortable. Guide Samvel explained everything with enthusiasm by getting into details where necessary for a first time visitor. His knowledge was amazing and answered all questions to my entire satisfaction.

After such a wonderful experience with Rose and Arthur on our previous tour, we booked a second day with them to visit Garni Temple, Geghard Monastery and the Garni Canyon Symphony of Stones. Once again, they exceeded all expectations. Rose is an outstanding guide whose passion for Armenia is evident in everything she does. Her knowledge of the history, architecture, religion and culture surrounding each site was remarkable. At Garni Temple, she brought Armenia’s pre-Christian history to life, while at Geghard Monastery she provided fascinating insight into the country’s early Christian heritage and the significance of this extraordinary UNESCO World Heritage site. Her explanations were engaging, informative and delivered with genuine enthusiasm. The Symphony of Stones was another highlight of the day, and Rose ensured we understood both the geological significance and local stories associated with this unique natural wonder. Throughout the tour, she was attentive, friendly and always willing to answer questions, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. Arthur was, as always, an excellent driver. He was professional, punctual and courteous throughout the day, and we felt completely comfortable and safe on every part of the journey. The vehicle was spotless and comfortable, allowing us to relax and enjoy the spectacular scenery. What makes Rose and Arthur such a fantastic team is not only their professionalism, but also their warmth and genuine care for their guests. They consistently went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience. Having now spent two full days touring Armenia with them, we can confidently say they have been one of the highlights of our trip. We would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for an authentic, informative and memorable experience in Armenia. Thank you, Rose and Arthur, for another incredible day.
Thanks a million! We will be glad to host you whenever you decide to visit us again!
We really enjoyed our private tour of Garni, Geghard and Tsaghkadzor. We were a group of 6 from Italy. Our tour guide Meline and driver Sash were amazing, Meline explained a lot of history to us, and specifically she helped me with buying the best Gata, fruit lavash and choosing items to buy in Geghard. Meline was always ready to answer any questions we had and helped us resolve any issues that we faced. I really recommend them and I enjoyed booking with Hyur Service. Thank you! 😊
Thanks a lot for the kind review! We’re excited to host you on your next visit to Armenia!
We had an incredible experience touring Geghard Monastery and the Symphony of Stones, learning all about Armenia’s ancient history while taking in spectacular scenery. Our guide Gayane was warm and knowledgeable, and our driver Samuel expertly handled roads meant for experts — he was awesome and made us feel completely safe. The day was full of great touches: delicious food at a local restaurant, fun food cart stops, and sweet dogs roaming around. A truly five-star experience. If you’re visiting Armenia, book this tour — you won’t regret it!
Thanks so much for your fantastic review! We would love to host you again whenever you return!
We went on a private tour with guide Samvel and driver Levon Karapetyan to visit Geghard Monastery, Garni Temple, and the Symphony of Stones. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience, starting with the smooth and safe drive provided by Levon, followed by an engaging and informative tour led by Samvel. Samvel is an excellent guide—highly knowledgeable, professional, and tactful. He shared many fascinating facts about the sites we visited, as well as Armenian history and its prominent historical figures. There was virtually no question that he could not answer with remarkable depth, insight, and consideration. Beyond the historical information, Samvel was also extremely helpful in showing us the best locations for photographs and helping us capture memorable pictures at the most scenic spots. I would highly recommend Samvel and Levon to anyone looking for a private tour in Armenia. Thank you both for a wonderful experience!
We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed your time with us! Hope to welcome you back to Armenia soon!
