We were 5 in the group, we were provided with a very comfortable car, the drive was lovely and thanks to Tahir our guide, he was explaining the city while we were traveling. He is extremely aware of the history, explains it really well. He is always smiling and very calm, we fell in love with Baku and a lot of it is to do with how Tahir made it so comfortable for us ♥️♥️♥️

I want to tell about my experience in my trip to Azerbaijan, which is the first time I am in this nice country. The tours that I took, where really excellent and the profesionalism of my guide Tahir and his brother Arif was really an excellent experience in a private tour. Tahir has the most enjoyable patience to explaine all what we visited with detail. Being my first time to this beautiful country, exotic for us comming from Costa Rica, at the other side of the world, this was an excellent oportunity to have the best tour with very profesional and lovely people.

Very interesting place to visit for knowing the ancient culture of Azerbaijan with fire worship. Very convenient visit and beautiful knowledge by our guide Murad. My family loved the place and after learned the all history from Murad. Fire mountain is far away from temple around 30 minutes with a car. All the way we saw lots of gate production shops. Fire mountain was warmly and nice place, especially in winter time.
