“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.”

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.”

“We had an amazing experience with Servi as our guide for Guba, Shahdag, and Laza Waterfall. She was incredibly friendly and made everyone feel comfortable right from the start. 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.
