We took a Private tour of Baku. The experience was really good. I suggest this trip to anyone visiting Baku for the first time. It’s more expensive than the rest of tours but very much worth it. We were a small group of 3 and the detailed explanation and tailor made trip was really great. The experience was made great by our guide Shahriyar. Anyone taking this trip should ask for him. Great trip
Great Service

Entire arrangement done by VLA Toursim from picking up from the Hotel to taking various places in Baku city Tour was flawless. Driver was very punctual, Mr. Valeh was always proactive in terms of providing help, checking with wellbeling and giving inputs on the city tour. Entire journey was very leisure and was not getting rushed by driver or for VLA. infact once we have delayed and was not able to see one of the place due to non availability of the time, However Mr. Valeh was kind enough to offer the same to accomodate on other day though it was not part of the schedule.
