And the only thing that calms a tourist who does not want to say goodbye to this phantasmagoric spectacle is the anticipation of contemplating even more interesting landscapes.

5.00We recently travelled to Azerbaijan with my family, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. Everything was so well organized and taken care of, and we felt completely safe throughout the trip. A special mention goes to Jeyhun, our guide, who truly made the journey memorable. He was extremely helpful, friendly, and attentive from start to finish. He ensured our safety at all times and made sure we didn’t miss any of the major attractions. I would highly recommend Jeyhun to anyone planning a trip to Azerbaijan — his guidance and hospitality made a huge difference in our experience. 🇦🇿✨

5.00Amazing experience! Samir was a lovely guide, very nice personality and good in English. Was very open to questions about Baku and the culture. We got to see all of Baku city, old city, Nizami street, the train, Absheron temple, mud volcano, mud baths, the mall is also fun. Our favorite on the trip was shahdag, Quba, and qabala. A lot of activities and beautiful Mountain View’s. Good weather to visit shahdag mountain resort in August. Park Qusar deluxe park hotel was lovely. Me and my girlfriend really enjoyed this trip, a good break from the summer heat of dubai! Would recommend trying! 10/10
