Wonderful tour with guide Aydin

5.00Today we were on a tour of Shamakh - Gabal with guide Aydin. Organized everything clearly in time, the day before confirmation from the organizer and guide in the messenger, which is very convenient. The tour itself enjoyed picturesque locations, but more even communication with the guide! Aydin knows the history of his country very well, tells interesting, fascinating, bases communication on dialogue, which engages the whole group in conversation and makes the tour not just a presentation of facts, but also a story about life, life, traditions and contemporary realities. We thank the organizers for the clarity, and Aydin in particular for the exciting journey and help in resolving the personal issue of acquiring the uniform of the football team of the Azerbaijani club for son - Aydin - you are super!!!

5.00The town of Shamakhi with its climate and grape plantations is a delight, we will definitely come back here for a couple of days and check out the alpaca farm The mosque is also very beautiful, the only one didn't like that the lights were not on in such a place...Only after our guide Oguz made a remark to them Gabala is also an amazing place, Tufandağ liked it, the lake was closed unfortunately and the waterfall was replaced by a hanging bridge The restaurant really liked Udi wine😋 But overall the program is good, and most importantly with the guide we are very lucky, Oguz tells well and understandably

5.00We went on a tour to the cities of Shamakhi and Gabala in Azerbaijan. Along the way, we enjoyed the beautiful nature of Azerbaijan and listened to the interesting and informative stories shared by our guide, Oguz Askerov. In Shamakhi, we visited the Juma Mosque, and in Gabala, we were amazed by the magnificent high mountains of Azerbaijan. We also enjoyed the hanging bridge and the panoramic views. In short, the tour was comfortable, interesting, and very informative for us. Many thanks and warm greetings to Azerbaijan from guests from Kazakhstan!
Great tour

5.00I had a very nice tour to Gabala, and it was excellent. They provided a comfortable van with smooth pickup and drop-off service. The journey was well organized, and the driver was polite and professional. The tour guide was arranged separately, with both English-speaking and Russian-speaking guides available, which made the experience even more convenient. Everything worked perfectly together. It was a very pleasant trip, and I highly recommend them.

5.00Excellent experience from start to finish. Everything was well managed and on time, and the trip was very cost effective for what we got. The highlight was definitely our tour guide, Nazperi. She was full of energy, very knowledgeable, and kept the whole trip lively and enjoyable. You can tell she really knows her stuff and enjoys what she does. Also very well spoken and easy to communicate with. Overall, a great trip, highly recommended, especially if you get Nazperi as your guide 👍.

5.00Collection for the tour starts at 8.15am on Azerbaijan St, near the Garage parking lot. Back in town by 8 p.m. Our guide was Oguz, an attentive young man. It's very interesting to talk about the history of the city, the country. Everyone's trying to make time. From the excursion loved the ski Tufandag. We got up on the rope and down on the jet sled. Who's looking for the adrenaline of a sleigh just in time👍
It was a memorable experience

5.00We had questions on the tour with our husband and 2-year-old child, but thanks to our world-flavoring guide, Miss Nazperi, it was a very enjoyable tour for both our baby and us. The route is already beautiful, but thanks to the care and friendliness of Mr Kamil, Mr Orhan and Mrs Nazperi, it was truly a memorable experience for us. 🌸
