I really liked the tour of Gobustan. Beautiful and historically significant places have been selected, mud volcanoes and an open-air museum were very much liked! I also want to note the professionalism of Ruslan's guide - he spoke competently, answered any question, in general, it is clear that he loves his city! Impressions from the agency, the guide and the tour are very positive!👌

I took a tour of Gobustan - Absheron on 08/20.24. I liked both the organization and the excursion information. A comfortable minibus was picked up from the hotel, where there were already 5 English-speaking and 3 Russian-speaking tourists. Each group had its own guide. Our Russian-speaking group
was guided by Vusala, a very caring and erudite girl. The tour was for a whole day with lunch, we visited mud volcanoes, a burning mountain, the Zoroastrian Temple of Fire, the Gobustan Museum and the historical and archaeological reserve. And although there was a lot of information and objects, the tour was not tedious. The memories were the brightest. I highly recommend it.

For those who have never been on excursions at all, it will probably be fine. We didn't like the tour.
Read more: The first stop is the mosque. They quickly told you about the mosque itself, in general, they will tell you the same when selling the tour. You don't have to wait for more information.
The next stop is lunch. The guide, not hiding his happiness, says that this is the most interesting part of the tour. You will not see anything else in the city of Shamakhi. The guide will show you some places from the bus, if he does not forget and does not miss them, as it was with us.
After lunch, passing through forests / mountains / fields, you rush to the waterfall "7 beauties". More precisely, 4 beauties. When selling the tour, you will be promised to climb to the very top, no one will say that repairs are currently underway at the waterfall and you can only climb up to a maximum of 4 cascades.
We're going to the lake. 10 minutes to take photos by the lake, walk around the tourist "town" for about 15 minutes and back to the minibus. After that, we go to the cable car, which distinguishes the tour of this company from others offered to us. And of course it increases the cost in comparison with them. We arrive and find out that, unexpectedly, only the smallest segment of the cable car is working today. The rest are under repair and of course no one knew about it. The money for the cable car was not returned to anyone, although it was clearly cheaper.
The tour was in 2 languages. But it was not a problem for us, because we know both Russian and English. A very unpleasant situation awaited us at lunch, when in the minibus we were asked in Russian 2 times whether we eat mutton and other meat or not. And our friends from India have not been asked once. And when lunch was brought to everyone, the guys from India started asking the guide what kind of meat it was. Instead of explaining the type of meat, she told them in English, "I asked you 4 times if you eat everything." But no one has heard this. As a result, the guys ate soup and rice. They did not dare to eat meat. I didn't take the risk either, the sight and the "flavors" from the dish are not very pleasant. The guide didn't make friends with the group, we didn't even get to know each other. We spent 14 hours together with people whose names we don't even know. We returned back to Baku for about 4 hours. The guide moved away from the group to the front seat, listened to music, communicated via video with her family, thus cutting off any opportunity to ask her any additional question. It was a very difficult road. With a stop at the creepy "circus" with walking peacocks. Although it was a fun stop, peacocks walking freely are rarely seen.

I recently bought a tour of Gobustan Absheron. everything was just great, there was a gorgeous Kamal guide. He is very literate, speaks Russian well, and is ready to answer all questions. they drove us in a big, comfortable car. I am very pleased, I do not regret at all that I decided to visit Azerbaijan and buy a tour at Azerbaijan Travel International! I advise everyone!

We purchased a tour of Khizi-Shabran. The cost is 100 manat/person
As a gift, we received a sightseeing tour of Baku in the evening.
The evening tour left super emotions, the guide Kamal. An incredibly interesting person, we learned a lot of new things. The tour lasts 2 hours, absolutely not tedious.
No less impressions were expected from the excursion to the mountains.
Departure at 8 am, a long journey by minibus.
The first stop is pink lake, but for it to be pink, you need a temperature of 40 degrees of heat and a clear sky. The shore is disgustingly dirty. Bags, bottles, chicken legs, what not there. The lake is salty, salt is mined.
Then we stopped at the supermarket, buy water and something to eat there.
Then we came to the Kyzy Mountains, a beautiful colored mountain, a few minutes is enough to take photos.
After Kyza there was the mountain Beshbarmag. It offers a gorgeous view of the mountains and the sea. The stairs are narrow, it is quite difficult to climb.
After it, we drove for a long time to lunch, which is included in the tour. This is a complete failure. It's hard to call this place a cafe. The table was not set. The dishes are all different, the glasses are dirty. The whole group waited for lunch for more than 20 minutes.
Tough meat, salted rice. After lunch, tea was also waiting for a long time. The toilets are disgusting, no care for the guests. We spent more than an hour on this "lunch" without getting any pleasure.
The last point of the tour is the fortress of Chirag-gala, you need to go to it on the old fields. The road is bad, but the driver is rushing at high speed. Then you need to walk decently to the fortress and climb up to it by wooden stairs, which do not inspire confidence and are not safe.
This tour will be tedious for children and pensioners. To return to Baku-another 2 hours on the road.
I doubted how to rate the travel agency. The first sightseeing tour for 5+, the second for a three. The guide on the way told interesting facts about Azerbaijan.

I bought two excursions, the evening Baku was given as a gift. I went on an excursion to Gobustan-Absheron and to Schamakhi-Gabala. Both tours with the same guide. Not very qualified. Different excursions, but the story is the same. In essence, the excursions were obviously superficial, some questions were answered with "I don't know". In general, if you have time, you can go, but without much expectation.

We were on an evening tour of Baku. Nothing, just accompany me and take a ride in the car, pre-fed dinner. The guide is uninteresting, smokes, was silent on the bus, took pictures and that's it, for 50 manats. If you knew, you wouldn't go anywhere, it's a completely useless tour, it's easier to walk around and read on the Internet. March 20, 2024

We took two bus excursions, 1. Shamakhi, Gabala and the cable car to Tufandag and 2. Absheron plus Gobustan. For two exclusions for 2 days, they gave 400 manats for two. The price of tours includes transfers, entrance tickets to all mosques, museums and mausoleums, lunches and guide services. The bus is comfortable. The lunch in the first excursion is disgusting, and in the second it is good. In general, we received positive emotions, especially in the mountains, but it is expensive, not all guides have the necessary knowledge and ability to submit them. In the store on the way to Gabala (honey house) strongly recommend buying everything. It is not worth doing this, the prices are inflated several times. For example, wine bought there for 20 manats in the Bravo supermarket in Baku itself costs a little more than 3 manats!!!

Hi! My name is Elena, I was in Azerbaijan from September 9 to 18. The most magnificent impressions of the country, Baku and residents! Arrival, departure, hotel, excursions, - all without overlaps, exactly to the minute. The hotel-"Promenade" is quiet, cozy on the border of the old, new city - I advise you.Thanks to Togrul Mustafa zadeh Manaf Oglu, his worries organized the trip. Kamal Sadikh-zadeh is a guide, human-oriented, always ready to help, knows a lot, tells beautifully, does not let you get bored,

On New Year's holidays, we used the services of this company. We were very satisfied. They work organized and even. We felt the attention from the first minutes of our stay on Azerbaijani soil. Despite the early morning (our plane arrived at 5.30 am), we were met and taken to the hotel. Since we were buying a tour for 8 days, all the excursions were distributed among us. Professional guides who love their country and try to convey a piece of this love to tourists worked with us every day. The food during the excursions was varied and delicious. Thanks to all employees of the company!!!
