About Hayreniq Tour
Bus is a convenient way of travel no matter whether you need to get to a neighboring town a couple of hours away or venture further afield crossing the whole country. Whatever your budget, buses have you covered. Express buses offer the most affordable ticket price for travellers who have very little money to spend. VIP options are geared toward those who do not want to compromise on comfort. Before you jump on a bus, make sure you choose the type of service which suits you best. For a long-haul trip look for a VIP or first-class coach which provides non-stop service to your destination or just call a minor number of stations along the way. Express or local buses in many cases may prove an acceptable choice for shorter trips, but longer rides are often not the best buy. Study the timetable before going as many long-haul destinations are served by night buses, and some offer wider seats or sleeper berths for such travels. Make an online reservation for your bus ticket with Hayreniq Tour. Other travellers’ reviews will help you to choose the best ticket and coach class.

Hayreniq Tour buses ply a number of routes and here is the list of some of the most popular ones:
Hayreniq Tour Ticket Prices & Bus Classes
One of the best things about bus travel is that you can almost tailor-make your trip adjusting it to your requirements for privacy and comfort. Different classes and types of buses cater to the different needs of travellers. The cheapest trips are normally offered by standard-class buses. They may be called local, express or ordinary. These are a good choice for shorter trips. Sleepers or VIP coaches are good both for longer and overnight trips. They may offer berths or wide soft reclining seats, sometimes with built-in massage options, blankets, soft drinks, and snacks, or more substantial meals on board or during toilet or refuelling stops. Travelling by night buses allows you to save on a hotel room, but to ensure the most comfortable ride do choose the class of your bus wisely. Prices always depend on the distance you ride and the type of coach. For some, even shorter trips, it is worth investing some extra money and buying a seat on a VIP bus as it can save you twice as much time as you spend travelling by an ordinary bus.
Travel by Bus: Pros & Cons
Pros of Bus Travel
- Bus is the best choice to get to destinations that are not connected by rail or planes. The network of buses often covers almost the whole country, and their routes are well and long-established.
- Opposite to air travel and sometimes rail travel, taking a bus does not require arriving at the bus station much in advance. Check-in, even on international routes, does not take much time. Luggage allowances are usually very traveller-friendly, and the fee for extra luggage, if limits are set, is normally not very high.
- Bus tickets can be more affordable compared to air or fast train tickets. There is always a choice of ticket classes for all pockets. Cheaper standard options may be a bit slow and do not offer top comfort, but anyway acceptable and bring you to your destination. On longer routes, toilets or toilet stops as well as snacks, water, and sometimes toiletries and blankets are almost always included in the price.
- If you are ready to spend more, some VIP coaches offer seating comparable to business class on a plane with wide soft reclining seats, blankets, fewer passengers, and many other perks to make your trip a pleasant journey.
Cons of Bus Travel
- Newer intercity bus terminals are very often located out of the city close to bigger highways to allow buses to avoid city congestion. Unfortunately, it may create extra challenges for travellers, too. Getting to such a terminal may be a problem as in some destinations there are restrictions on vehicles allowed to enter the terminal, and you will have to use special carriers to get there. This results in higher costs as prices may be inflated. Also do calculate extra time if you are travelling during rush hours, especially if you are not familiar with the traffic situation at your starting point.
- Buses are probably the means of transport which runs out of schedule more often than trains or planes. They are heavily dependent on the road situation which sometimes can be unpredictable – accidents, road construction works, detours, etc. This is especially true for travels during weekends, high season, or national holidays. Do keep this in mind and do not plan tight connections.
- Travelling on certain routes or during the most popular periods may require advanced booking. Bear in mind that it is not always possible to show up at the bus station and hop on the next bus – tickets may well be all sold out, so organize your trip accordingly.

Good trip. The meeting point in Tbilisi é behind the metro station and you have to look for a store written Tbilisi - Yerevan. They will send you to the minivan and you have to send your ticket to a WhatsApp (driver will help you). If you need exchange, say it to the driver, then he will stop in supermarket after Immigration for better rates, because at the bus station in Yerevan there’s no ATM or Exchange. Also take a photo of the minivan’s plate, because they will ask you in immigration (I wish to know this before…). The is spacious and wifi works well in Armenia. Make sure to have power in your phone, because the road is scenic! It was a good trip!

We had a good experience using Hahreniq tours to get from Tbilisi to Yerevan. We arrived 40 minutes early and left soon after once everyone was on board. Please note as others have said, the pickup location is behind the church on Dusheti Street, a short walk down the street from the Avlabari Metro station.
The coordinator and driver spoke little English, but had our names noted on his phone and it was fairly easy to get into the right van, so they obviously are used to receiving 12go bookings.
The van was quite comfy and had plenty of legroom. Air con was used most of the time, and it never felt too hot. Driving was of the standard Caucasus style, but no worse than any other transport we’d been in.
Overall I’d certainly do this journey again, being able to book online is very convenient.

The website was a little difficult to use so I accidentally booked my trip a day later than I wanted to go. The operator took care of this and got me on the next bus, two hours later. I couldn’t be happier. The ride is what it is. Driver was a little grumpy and the driving perhaps isn’t the safest but that’s just the way things are around here. The bus was really comfortable.

Worked out well for us from Yerevan to Tbilisi. We booked online and showed up like 25 minutes early. Showing up so early is unnecessary as we just sat in the waiting room.
The bus left about 30 minutes late, seemed like some passengers were late.
The van itself was very nice. The seats for comfortable and the wifi actually worked well. The AC was in but it was still a little hot at times. The driver eventually opened the roof vent and that cooled things off.
The driver did not speak English but there were a few people on board who helped translate so it was fine.
We stopped for one restroom break at a supermarket and there are bathrooms on the Georgia side of the border crossing as well.
Overall, I would use this company again as they got the job done!

Good overall, beautiful views on the way and arrived in Tbilisi on time. The vehicle was comfortable and fine.
Would not recommend to anybody with an anxious disposition - driving norms are very different in this region compared to Western Europe and may make some people uncomfortable, e.g. there were no seatbelts in the vehicle.

Told to be there an hour early for paperwork/check in. Receptionist asked names and we sat in office - not necessary. Stopped for 40 break after just 1 hr 30 mins. Not necessary.
Journey finished in a dug up back street surrounded by heavy construction. Difficult to walk with heavy bags. Need a better drop off point.

I have ambivalent feeling regarding the trip. On the one hand, the company staff was very kind enough to meet me in the airport and transfer to the bus station when I wrote that my flight is being delayed for some time. In the other hand, I cannot say the trip was very comfortable as the van (8 seats including driver) was rather old and the driver wanted to sell out all the tickets before depature but the actual comportable number of passangers is six people maximum. Furthermore, the driving style is pretty daring amd may seem even dangerous. Lastly, there was no promised wifi access during the trip.

Ехала Тбилиси-Ереван. Автобус на 09.00 утра. Приходите раньше. Как только наполнили машину, уехали. На 30 мин раньше.
Ехали на минивене, место с водителем, два пассажира, очень неудобно.
От границы до Еревана ехали без остановок, так решил водитель, будто опаздывал. Неслись на полной скорости:( жутковато, учитывая, что никто не соблюдает правила. Приехали на два часа раньше.

The bus left on time and it was a good journey. However, I felt that it was poorly ventilated and really needed the a/c on as it was a very hot day. The driver did not stop at all except for the customs and immigration stops and I feel he should have asked if anyone wanted to stop for a toilet break or to buy some snacks. We arrived at out destination an hour early, so there would have been time for another stop.

В машине было 6 мест (по числу ремней безопасности), но посадили 7 человек. В целом сидеть втроем сзади было приемлемо, но только потому, что все были худыми
Никакого кондиционера не было, wi-fi и подавно.
Водитель вел в целом нормально, под конец только начал лихачить.

It was a great trip! Everything was done on time. We were given a bottle of cold water. The bus has a free WiFi and USB chargers. The only drawback was a chair that somehow made my back hurt. But maybe it's just me. Apart from that everything was great.

Поездка прошла отлично, дорога совершенно нормальная, нет там никакого горного серпантина, о котором я читала в отзывах (либо тот, кто писал, никогда не ездил до этого по горным дорогам). Водитель адекватный, не лихачил, уверенно вел микроавтобус, есть wi-fi. С водителем нас было 9 человек. По пути две остановки: на заправке (там только туалет) и чуть дальше, у кафе, где можно перекусить. Единственный минус - это жара! Почему-то кондиционер в микроавтобусе не включался, горячий поток воздуха в открытые окна не освежал ни разу!

1st Half Tbilisi to Yerevan - I got there over an hour early as instructed. There was no on around that could tell me anything about this tour bus, where I should go. No one spoke English - there was no effort to communicate with me. It wasn't until AFTER 9am (when we are supposed to be departing) that the driver showed up.
2nd Half Yerevan to Tbilisi - the air conditioning did not work. We were burning up in the back seat with no air, sitting on cloth seats in 38° heat. The back window was broken, so I had to continuously hold the window open to get some air.
Both drivers were quite rude. (The only professional, nice man worked in the office in Yerevan)

It was a complete disaster! We bought tickets from Tbilisi to Yerevan. We came to Avlabari metro station. There were people who gave seats to a bus. We asked if it was Hayreniq tour bus and we were told that it would be later. Then local operator said that the next bus will be in 2 hours. Also he said that he's not a Hayreniq team member and just a Hayreniq partner. I found a phone number in a voucher and called. The number was armenian so I had to pay for an international call. An operator told me that he would contact the local operator to sort things out. Then he didn't call back so I had to call again several times. After the 5th conversation he advised to use WhatsApp account. Finally after 1.5 hours we departed. I understand that some times you have miscommunication but it's never a good decision to leave a customer without support. Definitely not reliable company for me anymore.

Tour was on time - but the driver didn’t give much information. We were given 15 min. break. When we stopped to pick a passenger up along the way - we were refused to use the toilet for 5 min. Driver answered more than 10 handheld phone calls when driving down- uphill. Space for improvement.

Please, pay your attention to aggressive driving style of your drivers. Loud local music and driver's loud talking made our trip almost exhaustive. We slept 4 hours this day and wanted to have some rest. Maybe other passengers were happy with it, I don't know. I don't think you should punish anyone, but please just let your drivers know that people can be different. It was a hot day but a driver turned of an air conditioner from time to time, I have no idea why. Thank you.
