EXCELLENT Based on 134 reviews TheZEC24/04/2025Verified Meraviglioso tour dell'Azerbaijan. Grazie al sig. Artunj e alla sua agenzia, abbiamo fatto un meraviglioso tour dell' Azerbaijan.Abbiamo pensato a un tour, e mia moglie leggendo varie recensioni, ha trovato la disponibilità della AzerbaijanGuide.az. Ho contattato il Sig.Artunj e gli ho chiesto la disponibilità per un tour. Il Sig.Artunj si è subito messo a disposizione per trovare la soluzione che meglio si adattava alle nostre esigenze. Così è stato abbiamo fatto il tour di 6 giorni e poi siamo rimasti ulteriori 6 giorni da soli a Baku. Il Sig.Artunj si è sempre reso disponibile a supportarci ad ogni nostra esigenza, sia durante il Tour, che contattandoci privatamente, durante il nostro soggiorno da soli.Ringrazio il Sig.Artunj e i suoi collaboratori della AzerbaijanGuide.az, soprattutto lo splendido e preparatissimo Farhad, che ci ha fatto da guida durante il tour...consiglio a chiunque abbia intenzione di visitare questo splendido paese, di contattare il Sig. Artunj.

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.

Subramanian V30/03/2025Verified So much life and beauty in Baku!! My wife and I did the trip. We did the night tour of Baku which included a fantastic walk through the old city, we did Shahdag and Quba on a separate day (the goldola at Shahdag was awesome), and on another day we did the fire temple and several lovely spots in Baku like Little Venice, Heydar Aliyev Center and so on. Baku has so much to offer in and around. Artenj, our tour operator, was super efficient, and our driver/guide on 2 days was Farhad who was polite and knowledgeable, and on another day was Mubariz who was also just the same. Great team! Loved every moment of our stay here and we’re looking forward to coming back again. Saliya J P17/02/2025Verified Enjoyable Baku tour . Two tours.
