Reviews
Experience Azerbaijan
A real fantastic experience - Modern Baku with its magnificent architecture and the countryside with its nature diversity and amazing landscapes are just unbelievably beautiful. I loved the rich historical and cultural heritage. People are very kind and the country is very clean.
The service and assistance of Azerbaijanguide was personalized and professional. I thank them for showing me their beautiful country and people. I can only recommend them.
Azerbaijan is part of the old silk route and a most amazing place to visit !! Should be on your bucket list ????
Our tour package was organised by dear friends of ours with Artunj. We had a most memorable experience of all the places we visited , amazing architecture , mesmerising landscapes, beautiful lakes and valleys, vivid historical places , lovely food and hospitality and polite and humble people !!
We visited the following places :
Baku
Quba
Qobuston
Sheki
Gabala
Ganja
Goygol
Our guide was “Afag “ - she was very patient and explained in great detail the historical and cultural background of the places we visited . A throughly knowledgeable lady with great charisma !! She ensured we spent time in the best places to get a good perspective. She befriended local people wherever we went to ensure we were taken well care off.
Our driver was always emasculate and dead on time with a beaming smile and always opened the door for us !! Service with a smile ! We ran over our allotted time sometimes but he never complained .
Both our guide and driver worked together perfectly !! Would highly recommend them.
The best company for touring Azerbaijan - just choose this without hestitation.
I had heard of Azerbaijan as the start of the Silk Road countries and googled this company and based my trust on the reviews I had read of Ertunj who was the lead organiser of the itinerary. I had warned him that we were a vegetarian group of 4 so he provided the best places to eat and our guide, Afa, was brilliant in ensuring we saw all the sights and were taken to appropriate restaurants in the regions. Our driver Orhan was cheerful and witty with a smile to melt our hearts.
Both took us on a 7 day trip to Baku, Quba, Gobustan, Absheron, Sheki, Lahic, Shamaki mosque, Gabala, Ganja, Goygol and back to Baku. We visited Candy Cane mountains, amazing mud volcanoes, a rare natural phenomena called Yanardag fire mountain, petrogylphs, tranquil lakes, mosques which resembled the architecture in Uzbekistan, an Albanian church, a cable car visit to a mountain ski resort, waterfalls, caranvenserrai, a traditional mountain village and an old fire temple used by Zoaratrians.
There is so much in this tour to admire that I recommend 10 days to spend at least 4 days in the modern city of Baku. Azerbaijan is both modern and traditional with a long history of conquerors. An absolutely fascinating country where you can appreciate skilled artisan crafts, bygone hospitality of olden times, and breath-taking landscapes.
Ertunj chose best hotels within the value of the package - Grand Hotel in Baku, Minali Boutique Hotel in Sheki and Vis Palm Hotel in Ganja. I recommend a visit to Ganja in Western Azerbaijan and this whole itinerary. I thank Ertunj from the bottom of my heart for making this holiday so memorable and also of good value. Highly recommend this company as they are professional and look after our needs. We were a group from the UK so needed an English speaking guide who was knowledgeable and adaptable, both which Afa was. Thank you very much Ertunj!!
Excellent tour package- well organised.
