Wonderful trip to a country I didn't know. Our guide spoke Italian very well and made us live many special realities but all very pleasant, from the city of Baku, very modern and active, spotless, with a very nice pedestrian area, to the city of Sheki, with an absolutely unique royal palace and a magnificent caravanserai, to mountain areas where we admired the flight of 4-5 golden eagles and had lunch with a local family. Beautiful mosques and Christian churches, beautiful landscapes!

It has been a Beautyful experience: we didn’t know what to expect about this travel throught an (for us) unknown country. So, the beauty of Azerbaijan surprised us. The tour is an interesting travel in Baku, Sheki, and Big Caucasian region, discovering modern and ancient Azerbaijan. Me, my wife and our frends enjoyed it. Thanks to our excellent guide Afaq!

Fantastic experience with Azerbaijanguides, Mt. Artunj Behbudlu is ready to answer to any question and to organize any different excursion. We were 8 friends from Italy, and our Italian speaking local guide Afaq was excellent: friendly, always smiling, always ready to answer to any kind of request. Also the driver Zuar was excellent. We strongly recommend Azerbaijanguides as your Tour Operator for Azerbaijan

You can organize the personalized tour (there were two of us) simply by chatting with whatsapp with the agency that offers you a tailor-made solution (with driver and guide and entrance tickets to the attractions). The agency also offers hotels in optimal and excellent areas (at different costs depending on your needs). We made Baku, Qobustan & Absheron (mud volcano and mountain of fire, temple of fire, mountain with paleolithic petroglyphs and museum) Shamakhi, Qabala (lake and mountain), mountain village Lahic and finally Sheki. Due to time constraints we could not continue to Georgia but the agency also organizes the return from there. Everything organized very well, driver very kind and flexible. Thank you beautiful tour

Our tour will not be the same if Artunj is not our tour coordinator for both our visit to Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan. He is very detailed, accommodating, professional and go beyond the extra miles to make our trip the very best. Our tour guide, Rovshan, is able to introduce us the blending of historical and modern attractions of Azerbaijan. Thank you, Artunj and Rovshan, to make this trip so enjoyable.

Sorry to say I accidentally broke my right ankle stepping into a hole in Baku. Artunj Behbudlu (Azerbaijan Guy) was a great help to me in this ordeal. He took me to the local hospital to be X-rayed, called to change the flight to go home the same day, and arranged wheelchair service for the entire trip. Much appreciate his effort. Louis Chan

Thank you, Artunj of Azerbaijan Guy for planning the trip for 20 of our friends to cover Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan. The itinerary is well organized. The hotels are good, and transportation with flight and bullet train is smooth. The tour guide Rovshan is a nice guy, easy going and relaxing. Azerbaijan is beautiful, and I highly recommend that you visit this country.
