Impeccable day trip across the country - The perfect trip for exploring outside of Baku. Had the chance to see the beautiful terrain of Azerbaijan, with mountains, waterfalls and desserts as we rode from east to west, alongside visits to ancient mosques and a breathtaking ride on cable car. Nazperi is one of the most passionate, professional and knowledgeable tour guides I’ve had - her introductions are fascinating and show us the interesting aspects of Azerbaijan‘s history and its people’s life now. She is always engaging, paid attention to details and time control, and most important kind and friendly. It was a pleasure to travel across the country with her as our guide.

Azerbaycan'a yaptığım unutulmaz tatil sırasında, Bakü ve çevresindeki turlarımı Azerbaycan Tur Şirketi aracılğıyla gerç - Azerbaycan'a yaptığım unutulmaz tatil sırasında, Bakü ve çevresindeki turlarımı Azerbaycan Tur Şirketi aracılğıyla gerçekleştirdim. Ancak bu deneyimi gerçekten özel kılan kişi, rehberim Nazperi Hasanzade oldu. Kendisi yalnızca bir rehber değil, adeta bir dost gibi hissettiren, samimiyetiyle içten bir insan. Güler yüzü ve pozitif enerjisiyle, tüm tur boyunca bizimle olmanın ötesinde, adeta bir ışık kaynağıydı. Nazperi, Azerbaycan'ın tarihini, kültürünü ve geleneklerini anlatırken, her detayı bizlere öyle bir anlatıyordu ki, her anı adeta bir ders gibi hatırlanacak şekilde zihinlerimize kazındı. Profesyonelliği, bilgi birikimi ve insanlara duyduğu sevgi ile gerçekten örnek alınması gereken bir rehber. Nazperi, işine olan tutkusu ve içtenliğiyle, Azerbaycan’ı sadece bir turistik destinasyon olarak değil, bir yaşam deneyimi olarak görmemizi sağladı. Ona ne kadar teşekkür etsem az kalır, çünkü onun sayesinde bu muazzam ülkeyi keşfetme fırsatı buldum. Eğer siz de bu büyüleyici ülkeyi görmek isterseniz, kesinlikle Nazperi ile bir tur yapmalısınız. During an unforgettable vacation in Azerbaijan, I chose tours of Baku and its surroundings through the company "Azerbaijan Tour". However, it was my guide, Nazperu Hasanzadeh, who became the person who made the experience truly special. She was not just a guide, but a true friend, with her sincerity and warmth. Her benevolent face and positive energy were not only there throughout the tour, but also became a real source of light for us. Nazperu talked so fascinatingly about the history, culture and traditions of Azerbaijan that every word she said was remembered as an unforgettable lesson. Her professionalism, her knowledge and her love of people are real inspirations. Thanks to her passion and sincerity, she allowed us to see Azerbaijan not just as a tourist country, but as a living, culturally rich place. No matter how much I thank her, it will never be enough, because it was because of her that I was able to truly discover this amazing country. If you want to visit this amazing country, be sure to tour with Nasperu.
