Would definitely recommend. Note: not really a small group tour as we were in a bus, but this was actually more comfortable than a minivan.”

Visit Khor Virap, Garni, Geghard, and a lavash bakery on an affordable full-day tour from Yerevan with Wi-Fi and a guide.

“Nice day tour to see some of the most important land marks of Armenia. Because it being a off season the tour was bilingual. The guide Tigran handled it very well. He was a great tour guide overall. Driver Araik was also one of the safest drivers in Armenia I had during my visit which was great. Lavash baking is in a family run restaurant where you also have lunch together (paid by you) so suggest you order one of the options in the bus as there are no other lunch options close by. Lunch was nice family style served so recommend it. Sadly when I was on the tour…”

Review of Hyur Service’s Gyumri and Harichavank day tour from Yerevan, with old-town walks, fortress views, lunch, and practical booking tips.

“This tour was quite the wonderful experience! Gyumri is a place full of history and interest. Our tour guide did a great job with such a large group. I highly encourage anyone to take this tour! It's a full day, a long day, but it packs in a lot of sites and information. I think that less time at the museum and more time in Gyumri (free time) would have been nice. Our group was in 3 different languages, so that did make it go a bit long when going from room to room in the museum. This is no fault on the tour...just a diverse group experience. I appreciate…”
