Must and should do!!!

We had an amazing time with our tour guide Rose and driver David. Rose did a fantastic job explaining the history and culture in both English and Armenian. We enjoyed every second of our trip and I recommend everyone who reads this to make the trip. We can’t forget uncle David who drove us for almost 9-10 hours safely.

Excellent trip to In Arena Winery, Shaki Falls and Tatev

Excursion to In Arena Winery, Shaki Falls and Tatev. We had three excursions from Yur Service and this one was the best! Lunch was with a magnificent view of the gorge, organizing a tour at the highest level. Special thanks to Guide Edward for the interesting storytelling and to driver Karen for his professionalism and careful driving! We'll remember this day for sure!

THANK YOU RAFFI AND SASCHA!!!!!

Raffi and Sasch were AMAZING!!!!!!!! Our family booked a tour to Tatev Monastery and Armenian Stonehenge and we had An amazing time. Raffi is so kind, informative, and outgoing. He made our experience so warm and welcoming and provided us with so much information in an engaging manner. Sasch was not only safe and reliable on the road, but truly a kind soul who was doing everything possible to make sure our tour was as special as can be. I remember at the Armenian Stonehenge site, he said “we don’t refer to you as tourists, we refer to you as guests” which really stuck with me. He is such a kind man. Thank you Raffi and Sasch for making our long day special and memorable for our entire family!!!!!!
