Top tour with Murad - Murad is an excellent guide — very polite, knowledgeable, and attentive to every detail. He organized the tour perfectly, making sure everyone felt comfortable and included. Murad speaks fluent English and Russian, which made communication easy and enjoyable for our diverse group. Highly recommend his tours to anyone looking for a well-organized and informative experience!

A wonderful, well planned experience - A truly wonderful tour! Our guide Murad was very friendly, professional and always attentive to the needs of the group. The places we visited were beautiful, and his clear and engaging explanations ranged from history to geography, giving us a complete and interesting overview. I also really appreciated the many insights into the country as it is today, which made the experience even richer and more meaningful. We laugh a lot, with joy! Murad is a very talented comedian. The ride to mud vulcanoes was so fun. The historical sites we visited were impressive. Highly recommended!

Gobustan with Murad - The tour programme is designed perfectly. Our guide Murad made his best to all in the group felt comfortable and happy. He provided us with many interesting facts, I really love his manner of storytelling. The lunch was impressive, I didn't expect such quality and portion size. Thank you Murad!

Off road trip with kid - Our tour guide, Gani, took close attention. All of them provided clear information. Food was good and all tickets were ready. It looked like everything was explained on the tour page. The off-roading experience was amazing, bring empty pet bottles and bags so you can easily take them home from that beautiful mud.

Whirlpool tour - Gani was a delightful Guide, told both English and Turkish, and we were the only Turkish speaking tour. The tour is comprehensive, with must-see sights around Baku packed with paths. It’s just literally a patio, you’ve got 20 minutes at each spot, you’ve got to hit the bar. The food is the same, you’ve got 20 minutes to go and get up for a chicly priced meal. I would say first performance, but I didn’t know, it would be better to go to each spot individually, to make a more precise time. We were photographed just in front of the Haydar Aliyev museum.
