“Started off abit shaky as because of the F1 blockage, tour guide couldnt pick us up but they booked taxi for us and paid for it which was nice. They also compensated with free city tour which was even better. Ali- our driver did his best to make sure we enjoy as he made sure we were all comfortable. Our tour guide (cant remember his name) was the most knowledgeable ive seen, he knew exactly what information to give out and when to give out. Overall, i want to thank the operator on the phone for giving out clear instructions, our tour guide who was the best, and our driver…”

“I recommend the Gobustan and Absheron Tour. Admittedly, we started quite late due to street closures, but we managed to complete the tour plan in full. However, I think the tour program was too intense and we had to rush at every place. I would add that our guide was very friendly and tried to make the trip go as well as possible.”

Il primo che prevedeva i posti vicini Baku come la moschea Bibiheybat, Gobustan, Vulcani di fango, Tempio del fuoco, Yanar Dag ed il Centro culturale Heydar Aliyev; il secondo tour portava in un giorno a Gabala. Ci siamo trovati bene ad entrambi, le guide erano gentili e parlano bene inglese. Solitamente avvisano la sera prima per confermare l'orario e il punto d'incontro. Gli orari sono stati rispettati.”

What really stood out was how she kept the whole group engaged with her stories and fun facts about the places we visited ,it really broke the ice among all the tourists and created such a lively atmosphere. She also went out of her way to take beautiful couple pictures for us, which we’ll always cherish. Overall, Servi turned the trip into not just sightseeing, but a truly memorable experience. Highly recommend her if you’re visiting Azerbaijan!Read more”

“Awful van ride that’s called a tour. The “guide” could barely put two words in English together, to the point that we’d get out of the van and have no idea what to see or where to go. The organizers were atrocious, starting the tour over an hour after we were told to be at the pick up place. We were first put on a bus and then brought down and moved to another one.
