Amazing Tour Experience with BestBakuTours - We took a series of day trips and overnight trip for our 7D/6N tour of Azerbaijan offered by Best Baku Tours whom I found through a random Google search. After several months of customising our private package we arrived at an agreed itinerary with a reasonable price - awesome. Our itinerary includes the The Night City Tour, Gobustan, Mud Volcanoes and Absheron Peninsula Tour, Guba and Khinalig Tour, Gabala and Sheki overnight tour. Azad is always ready to answer my query he did it at record speed. On arrival in Baku we were met by our tour guide for our whole stay in Baku. Kerim did a 101% effort and sometimes his hours exceeded the normal hours. His patience with our group of 14 seniors is remarkable. He is the best tour guide that I ever had. Kudos to Best Baku Tours

Superb! - We had one of the best days of our long travels with Aga who drove us to Guba and Khinaliq. The places are fascinating and the scenery unforgettable. Khinaliq was the highlight, watching the interaction of Aga and our twelve year old little girl guide. Aga did not burden with useless guide-type statistics but let us savor the moment.
