Nice excursion around Baku! - Nice excursion to see the main sites around Baku in one day! Lunch was ok for the price. Guide Murad was interesting & entertaining. Very polite & kind guy. Timing & organization well done, you have plenty of time for everything. Very neat bus, unfortunately not much legspace, very narrow in between the seating rows.

Recommend it! - The tour exceeded all my expectations. It was an interesting international group, and the guide spoke in two languages, giving attention to each participant. I couldn’t imagine how that would work, but in reality, it turned out to be very engaging.
Everything was organized at the highest level — from the meeting point and group gathering to returning to the city. The locations were fascinating, the ride was smooth thanks to the skilled driver and a comfortable bus, and the guide Murad was a wonderful storyteller. Fellow travelers were also very interesting.
I definitely recommend it!

Great tour visiting different interesting places around Baku - The tour is really good, specially if short in time in Azerbaijan, letting you visit many things which are not really far apart from Baku!! Our guide Adil made things easier, he told us many interesting facts and made it clear he is passionate about the history of his country. Totally recommended!!! By the way, lunch is included and it’s really worth it :)
