Amazing experience

5.00We had an amazing experience on the tour and would especially like to thank Riad for making it so memorable. He was incredibly kind, professional, and knowledgeable, and you could really feel his passion while explaining the history, culture, and traditions of Azerbaijan. The entire excursion was very well organized, enjoyable, and educational at the same time. Thanks to Riad, we saw and understood so much more than we expected. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Azerbaijan. Truly one of the highlights of our trip. PS. Driver was excellent and food was amazing.
Many thanx to Sabina

5.00The tour packed all of the main sites into a 9 hour trip, with the right amount of time being spent at each attraction. Sabina was a fantastic guide, both knowledgeable and friendly, speaking clear English (as well as Russian). I found the lunch a pleasant surprise as it was a local restaurant with very tasty food and gave us the opportunity to get to know the other members of the group.
Great experience

5.00This is a great day tour to enjoy beyond Baku. Sabina is a great guide, he is so well prepared and knowledgeable about any place we visit as well as a lot of trivia about the country that interest me. I dont normally hearing all guide talk during tours and listening to music in ny earphone kn the way but how she explain and the content really makes me listeni bf to her more and more. He's so good in his multilingual and can adjust time for each type of participant with different language she did 3 language during the trip which was awesome she fluent in English, Russian, and Azerbaijani/Turkish language. She can maintain giving essential information on each places and allow us to taking time to admire and taking pictures on each places which all of above i think qualities that difficult to achieve by tour guide, she is skillful and would love to have her again as my tour guide on next tour when I get back to Baku. Thank you very much from Febri.

5.00I had an excellent time visiting the Gobustan mud volcanoes and Yanar Dagh. Our tour guide, Riad, made the journey incredibly engaging with his humour and a wealth of information. Not only is he highly knowledgeable, but he also ensured everyone was comfortable and actively involved throughout the tour. In just one trip with them, I learned more about Azerbaijan than I did during the rest of my week there. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting.
