Around beautiful Baku
70alannahs, August 2026
The description of today’s visits led us to expect things that were a bit more interesting or exceptional so we felt a bit disappointed. On the whole the guide and driver were good. Our guide, Samir was very knowledgeable and approachable but he spoke very quickly and we missed a bit of information.

A Gobustan excursion
Jennifer_I, June 2026
It Was an interesting tour. I learnt a lot at Gobustan stone art, I loved visiting the Zoroastrism temple and museum. It did not particularly like the tour guide, there was an unwilling to help make photos and a disdain for what he deemed "tourist behaviour". Go on this tour if tou really love nature, history and culture, it is not a fancy tour but educative.
