Resort76906613/05/2025Verified Enjoyable Azerbaijan Our tour will not be the same if Artunj is not our tour coordinator for both our visit to Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan. He is very detailed, accommodating, professional and go beyond the extra miles to make our trip the very best. Our tour guide, Rovshan, is able to introduce us the blending of historical and modern attractions of Azerbaijan. Thank you, Artunj and Rovshan, to make this trip so enjoyable. Louis C12/05/2025Verified Artunj Behbudlu (Azerbaijan Guy) very helpful Sorry to say I accidentally broke my right ankle stepping into a hole in Baku. Artunj Behbudlu (Azerbaijan Guy) was a great help to me in this ordeal. He took me to the local hospital to be X-rayed, called to change the flight to go home the same day, and arranged wheelchair service for the entire trip. Much appreciate his effort.Louis Chan MermanSF11/05/2025Verified Way to do your private tour or Azerbaijan and Georgia We had an excellent experience with this private tour of Azerbaijan and Georgia and I suggest this tour to anyone who considers such tour. Artunj was super responsive from the moment I messaged him to inquire about this tour till we left Tbilisi . Every single step is very well organized and tailored to one’s needs. Our driver/ guide in Azerbaijan, Ferhad, was very knowledgeable and flexible to show us all the key highlights of Azerbaijan and we absolutely loooooooved this leg of the trip. I suggest those consisting this tour to pack lightly as border crossing has long and steep road. Once we were handed off to the Georgian team, we had yet another fantastic driver, Gotcha, who showed us true Georgian hospitality through this beautiful country. I think we immersed deeply into the culture of caucuses and saw all the key highlights of these two counties. Again, suggest this tour with no hesitations.

Thanks to Mr. Artunj and his agency, we took a wonderful tour of Azerbaijan.We thought of a tour, and my wife reading various reviews, found the availability of AzerbaijanGuide.az.

So it was we did the 6 day tour and then we stayed an additional 6 days alone in Baku. Mr. Artunj has always made himself available to support us to our every need, both during the Tour, and by contacting us privately, during our stay alone.I thank Mr. Artunj and his collaborators of AzerbaijanGuide.az, especially the beautiful and well-prepared Farhad, who acted as our guide during the tour...

Azerbaijan and Georgia absolutely stunning! Love the beauty of both countries ❤️ 948viktor17/04/2025Verified Very well organized, very varied! The tour offers a good first impression of Azerbaijan. Especially the trip via Lahic in the mountains to Sheki is good, because you see a completely different side of Azerbaijan. There is always enough time to make your own explorations in the afternoon or evening, or to rest. On your own, Baku is a good place to go at night. All super safe. The hotels were good and the breakfast and WiFi great. Our guide Farhad was a very good driver and took us safely from place to place despite rain and wind. The tip with the wine tasting in Lahic was great and is definitely recommended! The agency can be fully recommended.
