Great Experience of sight seen in Baku with family. - It was a great experience of full day sight seen with family today. Our tour guide Ms. Narmin is a very energetic and anthusiastic tour guide who always try to engage the travelers humbly and also shared relevant knowledge about the place. Must recommended to visit the place and you will be lucky if you get the same tour guide.

It was good experience to see AZ from another angle - We took this tour, and it lasts about 12 hours. We really wanted to see Azerbaijan from a different perspective, and we love the mountains. We visited the village of Khanalug, and we enjoyed everything very much. And our guide even won a Spider-Man toy — it was so cute. We really loved the experience. We saw high-mountain villages with only about 1,600 residents. Many thanks to our guide, Inara, for such a wonderful tour — and to our driver as well.

Azerbaijan nature trail - Inara was a wonderful guide, super sweet and knowledgeable. Proactive in sharing cultural information, and really approachable whenever I had further questions. The real journey started after lunch climbing through oustanding landscapes in the comfort of an old 4WD. Would definitely recommend Inara as your guide.

amazing gide amaizing tluf - If our guide on this tour wasn't Servi, I would have given the tour zero stars. Because the company didn't answer the phones or WhatsApp. After receiving the money for the tour. But the guide Servi is the best guide we've ever had. Professional, knowledgeable, interesting, full of energy, happy and funny and gave us tips for the rest of the trip and for life in general. You're lucky to have her. The place itself, the isolated village of Khinaliq, is also amazing and the road to it is stunning in its beauty.

Great Day at Azerbaijan - What a great day of adventure — this is what travel is about: to marvel at the beauty of nature, to ravel in the pleasure of new friends, to experience authentic Azerbaijan life and culture. We went to Candy Mountain in the morning — we saw stripes of sand grains in different colours — a new natural wonder for me. We had authentic Azerbaijan lunch where we socialised with new friends around the world. In the afternoon, we explore Khinanig: the highlight of this tours. Imagine natural grandness — blades of rocks, powerful rivers, misty air — engulfing you. Truly awe-inspiring. Exploring the local village and learning about the ways of life there opens my cultural horizon. Meeting fellow tourists made today the most fun I’ve had in Azerbaijan thus far. And Servi, our tour guide, is the best. She is knowledgeable, passionate, an instant friend. We had meaningful conversations about life, culture and everything in between. Today I’m reminded of the true point of travelling: it is the friends you make, the sublime mountains you pass through, the laughters you share.

Amazing day trip in Azerbaijan - We had a great one-day trip in Azerbaijan with our guide Solmaz. She was open, kind, and very engaged, making us feel welcome as tourists from Poland. Thanks to her, we enjoyed the places we visited even more. Highly recommended! Michalina and Krzysztof
