Privétour naar Garni Pagan Temple, Geghard Cave Monastery & Symphony of Stones

Uitstekende tourservice. Professioneel en punctueel. Onze gids Sam was zeer deskundig en trots op zijn cultuur. Hij was erg vriendelijk en beleefd. Een perfecte Engelse spreker ook. Onze chauffeur, Arakel, was vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Ze zorgden er allebei voor dat we ons op ons gemak voelden. We hadden een geweldige dag sightseeing en het bezoeken van geweldige plekken in de buurt van Jerevan. Mijn favoriete plek was de Symphony of Stones. Het was adembenemend! We hebben Hyur Service zeker aanbevolen aan iedereen die graag het prachtige Armenië wil zien.

Mijn vrouw en ik hadden een uitstekende tour met onze chauffeur, Hovsep, en onze gids, Karin. (Ik hoop dat ik hun namen correct heb...). Ze waren allebei erg hoffelijk en Karin gaf bij elke stop zeer informatieve overzichten, vooral de kloosters. De lunch was ook uitstekend, op een mooie binnenplaats met veel eten.

I will try my best to let this review do justice to Hayk. Before I even start; I would tell anyone going to Armenia to make sure you have Hayk as your tour guide; he’s definitely a cut above the rest and you will never regret it; his exquisite & passionate knowledge of Armenia was like living in a “History of Armenia” documentary; he left no stone unturned in explaining the sites we visited; it was like getting our own personal history lesson on Armenia (with a touch of humor ???? ), we learnt so many things about this great country Armenia that we never knew. Hayk is always on time, he is very patient with his tourists and never rushes; and from the moment you meet Hayk, it’s non-stop, humor, jokes, back stories of Armenian history etc. As every tourist would be hustling around wanting to take pictures; with Hayk you are spellbound by his explanations, humor and advice on the best spots and angles for capturing memorable pictures. Even after the tour if you need anything or advice, he’s ever ready to help. Oh and here’s a double whammy; our friends were celebrating their 25th Wedding Anniversary and Hayk made all the arrangements (at one of the oldest churches/monastery) to make their day a very memorable one, including arranging a place to change clothes after the ceremony and get back on the tour ????. I also told Hayk I wanted to propose to my partner (of 13 years) and like a Gene with the snap of a finger he made that happen too and it was beautiful. The feeling Hayk leaves you with is like you have known Hayk for decades, and your experience with him will be etched in your brain ????. Thank you Hayk for the wonderful time you gave us; the dates of our next visit to Armenia will revolve around the dates “you” will be available to be our guide once again to show us the rest of Armenia (places we didn't get a chance to visit). Until then; take care and we look forward to meeting you soon.
