2.Private Yerevan City Tour: Erebuni, Matenadaran & Tsitsernakaberd Museums

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 34 reviews · 4 to 5 hours (approx.)

Spend 4 to 5 hours exploring Yerevan’s Urartian roots, ancient Armenian manuscripts and Tsitsernakaberd memorial. Your private group of up to three gets hotel pickup, an air-conditioned vehicle, bottled water and an English or Russian-speaking guide if selected. The focus is museums and history, not a broad city sightseeing tour.

“I was also pleased with this tour. However, I was not prepared for the fact that it covered all the museums in Yerevan but did not cover any of the main attractions. My guide and driver were really accommodating though, and amended the itinerary to visit the monuments I wished to visit. Do take note that Hyur Service offers a sightseeing tour that covers the attractions. This tour is better for those who have a strong interest in art history/museums”

“First of all I have to say that our tour guide as very knowledgeable and confident. Don't think you're going to squeeze in any extra stops on this tour! In all seriousness though the entire route/tour/plan was GREAT. It was very methodical, well planned and executed. Our guide was very knowledgeable and quite nicely interspersed her personal history with what was going on at the time. For anyone who likes Soviet history, this REALLY turned out to be a very pleasant afternoon! If you want to know what "Bangladesh" is all about, you'll have to join the tour to find out :-)”
