Review of Hyur Service’s Garni, Geghard, Symphony of Stones and lavash tour from Yerevan, with practical tips on value, timing and comfort.

“Our group of 15 or so people packed so much into six hours, across Garni, Gegherd and the Symphony of Stones. Our our guide was very friendly and knowledgable too. To be honest, everything was really well organised from the moment I arrived at their office in downtown Yerevan (which was really easy to find). Booking said there was no lunch, but there was plenty of Lavash bread, Armenian cheese and herbs to go around. Thanks very much!”

Also it gets really hot in the bus, I think the AC is blowing at the weakest so the back of the bus gets very hot. The fish was really tasty, pretty boney, look out, but really tasty.”

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.

She was rude and aggressive to us.
