I traveled on the tour "Azerbaijan on the edge of Europe" from 05/18/24-05/26/24.
I am delighted with Baku, a very beautiful, interesting and friendly city! The embankment is just a delight! Wonderful people are ready to help with any issue. Excellent guides Zaur, Isa, Ruslan conduct excellent excursions. Thank them very much!
I specially took a 9-day tour to get to know the country better. Nature - from the desert to the mountains covered with forests, the sea)! It is a very interesting country from the historical side . There are many beautiful monuments of antiquity. The mountains conquered me, such a vastness and pristine nature is very valuable nowadays! There are no problems with transfer, hotel, food, exchange, moving around the city, visiting the theater, museums. I recommend everyone to get acquainted with sunny Azerbaijan! I had a dream and it came true! I wish you all a wonderful trip to this wonderful country!

Our wonderful 8-day tour of Azerbaijan has ended today. We saw a beautiful country, wonderful people, amazing nature and tasted delicious national cuisine. We had two guides as guides to history: Zaur and Isa. Both speak excellent Russian and know the history of their state brilliantly.
We were met at the airport and, despite the late (or early check-in at 2 a.m.), we were accommodated at the hotel.
Zaur helped all the guests to solve their questions and problems. And his knowledge allowed us to see the country, its history, architecture, hear legends and the truth about famous people living on this earth. Zaur showed us the beautiful Baku.
Isa was our guide and guide on trips to interesting places in Azerbaijan. It was bright, delicious and fun with him. Interesting stories on the journey were replaced by friendly gatherings with the whole group and acquaintance with different traditions and dishes.
Many thanks to our drivers. Especially Emin. With oriental equanimity, he solved the difficulties that arose on the road.
The hotels and accommodation rooms were lovely. Our group is happy with everything!!😍😍😍😍👍

I went to Baku for the first time, I was absolutely delighted! Architecture, history, nature - everything is incredibly beautiful, I want to come back again and again. Most of all, I was impressed by the Old Town with endless cozy streets where you can walk for hours. Thanks a lot to the guides, each of whom told incredibly interesting stories, it was felt that the guides not only love their work, but their city and country, and are also very responsive and friendly to their guests! Thank you very much! Everything is organized super-professionally, with an individual approach to each guest!

Narmin Tour professionally organizes holidays in Baku. I really liked the afternoon Baku with Natik. We visited all the possible sights of Baku and learned about many traditions. I was also pleasantly impressed by an excursion to the temple of fire with Zaur and a visit to Yanardag. Zaur also conducted a tour of Baku in the evening and introduced us to interesting views. The excursion to Gobustan with Gunel was also interesting. Gunel is young, but she conducted the tour very professionally and told about rock paintings and mud volcanoes. We were in Baku from April 2 to April 6 and we dream of coming again.

A great trip!
Good hotels, interesting places.
Azerbaijan is very warm and friendly. The people are wonderful and hospitable.
We met 2024 there and are very happy about it)
We were very lucky to have a guide.
Zaur is a real guide, enthusiastic and sympathetic, not a single request from any guest from our group was ignored.
He told us very qualitatively and interestingly about the country, traditions, and places that we visited.
There is an ancient caravanserai of the Great Silk Road still functioning in Azerbaijan, a fire burning directly from the ground, an ancient Zoroastrian temple, rock carvings, mud volcanoes, mountain lakes, lots and lots of sun and beauty and good people!

Many thanks to Zaur for the excellent organization of the tour on May 27-31, 2024, everything was clear by the hour from the moment of arrival in Baku to departure. Thanks to the guide Isa for his kindness and humor, attentiveness to our every request and answers to all questions, starting from which bank to change money, and ending with where and what to buy as a gift. I travel a lot and it was one of the best trips I've ever had! Thanks to you, I learned that this country is so beautiful and so interesting, and the earth is so rich in natural wonders😍 I remember Baku with warmth, and now the word "Azerbaijan" has ceased to be an empty sound for me and resonates in my heart. I wish you prosperity!!!

We drank wine, ate delicious food and laughed a lot. This is how we can briefly describe our trip to Azerbaijan. I was driving without a clear picture of what was waiting for me. The eastern country of strict Muslim rules, four wives, burqas, prohibition, the desert around - these were my vague expectations. And you know, I'm outraged to the limit why no one was telling the truth. Georgia and Uzbekistan are very well connected, and absolutely everyone is silent about Azerbaijan, where there is such a huge potential. Baku got into the very heart with the first breath of hot, humid air. The chic architecture is something between St. Petersburg, Paris, Istanbul and, in places, Sochi is also similar. The cleanest streets, secular, open, beautiful people, safe, not scary, no one pulls hands like in Turkey and does not sell anything, does not whistle after (I do not know why I thought it would be like this), people are proud, modest, hospitable, well-mannered. A real cultural capital. Representatives of the older generation ask questions, say they love us, say they miss the Soviet Union, say "welcome". I've never seen anything like it, really. This is about general impressions. I will return many times, because I still have to explore and explore the country.
The tour was a classic one, an overview of Baku and the surrounding area, as well as visits to all cities/locations in the regions - all in accordance with the description. The distances are considerable, but the color is there. Otherwise, after Baku, it seems that oil is being scooped with spoons and the whole country is in skyscrapers and lights. However, in Azerbaijan there are several climatic zones and the semi-desert is replaced by almost alpine landscapes, mountain lakes, snow-capped peaks. One thing remains unchanged: amazing people. I was imbued with great respect, reverence, and interest in the nation, the people, and the country. Of course, everywhere is not without its social problems, but what is the cleanliness of the streets, the absence of beggars, homeless people, drunks, ruined migrants, which now fills all more or less large cities. Only there are a lot of puny cats - take food with you for a walk around the old town. There are no rats, cats are starving, begging for pens))
The selection of hotels is also excellent, the very center, everything is beautiful and the cuisine deserves a standing ovation!
I would like to express my special gratitude to our guides Zaur and Isa. Zaur bey, everything is clear, care and participation are on top. He helped with the SIM cards, suggested where to eat inexpensively and tasty, took me to the exchanger, was always in touch. There were no problems with the transfer and the extension of the night, there is an individual approach in such a difficult matter as tourism. Comprehensive information on the history of the excursions. Isa accompanied us on our journey. Not just a guide / tour guide, but rather a guide, a pearl, a good friend who came to visit. Isa, you brought our little company together so much, you showed us such interesting places and told us, in addition to what was stated in the program and even outside the tour. And even the cafes along the way seemed to be visits to long-time relatives, rather than just places for lunch. Zaur, you can add a beach day for the author's highlight - we were lucky, after the end of the tour, Isa offered us to celebrate my birthday on the beach, and it was a great decision, you know, classics are classics, guided tours, but it is the life of local residents, everyday life, leisure that is known just in non-tourist places for locals. I know how expensive it is for morale to make friends with guests, but it was as if it was impossible to imagine another guide and another approach in Azerbaijan. Although, of course, such cordiality is Isa's initiative, and not the regulations of the tour operator. So take care of him, he is definitely the highlight of your tours! Everything went very easily, Azerbaijan exceeded all expectations, Isa and Zaur - I am waiting for you to visit St. Petersburg now on my excursions! Thank you again very much for the creativity and soul that you put into your work, your country has sunk deep into my soul and I am in love!

We were traveling from the Travel Store on a tour of Azerbaijan about crafts. Everything went well. There aren't many tourists yet, but they don't refuse anyone, they don't change dates, they don't try to unite different groups. In fact, we had almost individual service: except for a sightseeing tour of Baku, we went everywhere without other tourists. The organization of the tour is good, we were not lost anywhere. Only apparently all issues are resolved at the moment, because they usually wrote about where and what time we should be in the morning late the night before. All the guides and almost all the drivers speak Russian well, there were no problems. It is better to choose a hotel with at least 4 stars.
The driver Parviz drove us most often. Very friendly and friendly.
There were several guided tours with Ruslan. He is still a student, and one day between morning and evening excursions he even had to go to classes. On the sightseeing tour, he did not have enough experience communicating with the older generation, I recommend watching the film "The Diamond Hand", because they will ask about it many more times)) Another day he took us to different fortresses, to the burning mountain, to the evening boulevard, and everything went fine. In general, he is very diligent, attentive and responsible. I wish you success in fulfilling all his plans.
Gunel took us to the carpet museum. Everything went great too, I told you in great detail about the history and technology of hand-made carpets.
There was also a great excursion with Javid to the Gala fortress, where we were happy to try several crafts in practice: carpet weaving (difficult), baking pita bread (easy and you can eat it right away), ceramics (also difficult, because the potter's wheel is not automatic) and metal forging (not difficult, because it's make-believe). And there are also animals that can be petted. The guide told us about everything in great detail, answered our questions, took photos and videos.
Unfortunately, I don't remember the names of the other employees, but everyone was very polite, punctual and friendly.

The tour "Azerbaijan-the crossroads of cultures". A great trip. Thanks to our guide Isa, we got acquainted with various regions of the country, with its nature, with the traditions and customs of the people who inhabit it. Special thanks for the opportunity to taste dishes of national cuisine typical of a particular region. Isu is distinguished by fluency in the Russian language, erudition, benevolence and punctuality. The hotels along the route are located in the city center, within walking distance of many attractions. One of the disadvantages is the extremely monotonous food at the Saffron Boutique Hotel.

It was very pleasant to wander with her through the streets of the most beautiful Baku, listen to exciting stories and legends, touch ancient stones, look into long-gone faces.... Thank her very much. Thanks to the silent but friendly drivers. Special thanks to Ruslan, a young, but very interesting and sincere guide, who leads us through the evening Baku. He managed to competently, subtly and in Russian immerse us in the magical, fabulous atmosphere of our beloved city, opened its lights, music, fun, colors, smells to us...

Visiting Baku spontaneously in the evening, we decided that we wanted to go on an excursion to Gobustan and Absheron. There were a lot of advertisements for excursions in the Old Town. They called me. The prices were different, an advance payment was needed. Which is scary nowadays. We found the company Narmin Tour on the Internet. There were 20 minutes left before closing time. They called. Everything was clearly explained to us how the tour would take place. We asked for one guide after reading the reviews. But he was busy. And they gave us Ramiz, promising that we would not regret it. The manager also got in touch late at night, deciding our day tomorrow. And it really is! All the way to Gobustan, he told us about Azerbaijan and Baku. We got on the road closures because of the president's motorcade. He was very worried that it had disrupted our plans. I made adjustments. He didn't stop telling me something. And on the way to Absheron, he did not stop talking for a minute. We learned a lot about the customs of Azerbaijan. Very well-read. We have learned a lot of interesting facts. I recommended a restaurant where it is delicious to eat. Special thanks for that! (Fisijan Restaurant) We recommend Ramiz as a guide and as an agency in general. The car was comfortable and clean. The driver drove carefully. Thank you for a great day! And the price was cheaper than we were offered! Which also pleased me

We took a luxury tour from this company, but in an individual version. We got a very wonderful guide - Isa. He organized our tour in such a way that we had one more extra day and got additional pleasure by spending a day in the mountains near Khinalyg. Firstly, I recommend the company, I fulfilled everything stated in full accordance with the application, and secondly, I recommend the Isu guide. Attentive, punctual, not boring, flexible to whims, with humor, and how he sings (ah-ah)
Our vacation was a success. Azerbaijan is cool!

I had a tour of Azerbaijan scheduled from June 18 to 24. The program, which is designed for 9 days, I completed in 7. How did it all start? Of course, from the airport, where Anar met us. At first glance, it seemed to me that he was a very strict, almost non-talkative person. And the first impression of the tour did not seem at all rosy. I had to communicate with Anar the most during the tour. I got an individual tour, and so did the driver and the car. In fact, he is a punctual, polite, sincere person. Sometimes it seemed to me that he was not a car driver, but a guide, as he always told me how it would be more convenient to plot a route. In fact, his radiant smile changed the first impression of him. Of course, we need to talk about Zaur, a man who has created a cohesive professional team of like-minded people. Zaur is a literate, well-read guide who knows the history of his country. The entire work of the team he leads depends on his actions. It was possible to get the right answer to any question from him. And the team is a match for him. Sugra is a beauty, a clever woman who knows how to properly interest a tourist, how to present information. I had all the excursions with her. In the evening, I realized that I was saying goodbye to the guide, whom I have known for many years. Isa is a charming, musically educated guide, whose time flew by like a flash. After the sightseeing tour, I fell in love with Baku. No other country has received such attention from this close-knit team. Every day, the guys were in touch with me, asking, giving advice, even regardless of the fact that they had not worked with me anymore. It so happened that almost all the excursions turned out to be individual for me. Sugra, Zaur, Isa, Anar have left a piece of Baku warmth and hospitality in my soul. U Yu. Vizbor has wonderful lines from the song: "Giving a piece of your heart to someone is such a job, brother." I know for sure that this can be attributed to this team. By the end of the tour, I realized that there are people in Azerbaijan who are very close to me, whom I have known for many years. When I was climbing up the plane, I promised myself that I would definitely return to Azerbaijan. Thank you very much for the care, comfort and attention with which you surround tourists. Bravo, guys, to you! Prosperity to the travel agency. See you soon. Take care of yourself and your loved ones.

Good day to all travel lovers! I've only been back from a trip to Baku for a few days, but I'm still impressed. The tour was called the "Caucasian Paris of Azerbaijan" - a slightly pretentious name. In fact, I would not compare Baku with the capital of France, as it is quite a self-sufficient city. The host party was the company "Narmin Tour" and its wonderful, professional, pleasant guides Nargiz, Isa and Javid. Unfortunately, it was not possible to visit the Mud Volcanoes, as access to them was temporarily closed, but all other points of the program were fulfilled. A beautiful city, it mixes different architectural styles, looks unusual.
There is a reason to visit Azerbaijan once again to see what it was not possible to see and get to know new places.

Excellent tour company Narmin Tour. Special thanks to Zaur, who is very attentive to tourists. Another special thanks to the guide Ramiz for the fun and interesting excursions. Unfortunately, not all guides are like that. Azerbaijan pleasantly impressed with its hospitality, beauty, and delicious food.
For the five, there was not enough hotel that would correspond to 4 arrivals: for four days they never cleaned, the breakfasts were primitive. You won't starve to death, but it doesn't taste good. It was the Madinah Hotel.
But it doesn't matter if you come to Azerbaijan with a good mood and be surprised. Thank you so much for that!

My 9-day trip to Azerbaijan has recently ended - more precisely, a 9-day oriental fairy tale, a Caucasian fairy tale, an Azerbaijani fairy tale... It was a tour of the "Grand Tour of Azerbaijan" Baku - Icherisheher (old Baku) – Ateshgah (Zoroastrian temple) – Yanardag ("fiery" mountain) – Gobustan (archaeological reserve with rock carvings); Shamakhi – Lagich (village of artisans) – Sheki – Kish (the oldest Christian temple in the Caucasus) – Ganja – Geigel Lake; Khizi ("caramel" mountains) – Beshbarmag – Guba – Khinalyg (high mountain village).
The sending organization was the Turtrans Voyage company - as always, everything was executed clearly and reliably, we, its customers, have already become accustomed to this.
The company Narmin Tour became the host organization. Everything was clear: they were met at the airport, settled in a hotel, picked up by car from the hotel every morning for day trips, made field trips (for 3 and 2 days). But the main thing that was very pleasantly surprised!, the company is working very constructively. Travel takes place at any time of the year - and you can fulfill your aspirations as soon as you have free time and financial opportunity. The company focuses on any temporary possibilities of tourists: there are 4 days - a trip was made for these days; there are 7 days - an extended trip for this time; there are 9 days - another wonderful 2-day trip was added... Moreover, the company Narmin Tour is ready to organize a trip for any number of guests, which is absolutely amazing and wonderful! My case: we started the trip as part of 4 tourists; after 4 days we continued as part of 3 tourists; the last 2-day trip (Khizi - Beshbarmag - Guba - Khinalyg) was fully organized only for me! It is VERY CONVENIENT and causes DEEP GRATITUDE!
But the main thing is the people, the representatives of the company Narmin Tour! First of all, this is a wonderful Zaur guide. Firstly, he is a very friendly person: they look for their own approach to each tourist, they support everyone (it is clear that tourists have different physical fitness and mood, Zaur has a positive attitude). Secondly, Zaur is a very professional organizing guide: this is not only a clear and complete execution of the program, but also tips on the best restaurants, souvenir shops and Azerbaijani sweets, prospects for free time, etc. But the most important thing is the third! Zaur not only knows the country perfectly well, both historically and in modern terms. He approaches his ministry very creatively: he owns not only literature on the problems of excursions, but also works with SOURCES, which is an amazing and very valuable feature for a guide! For example, the topic of Caucasian Albania is very interesting and obviously insufficiently studied - Zaur helped a lot to fill in the understanding of this topic! Nizami, who occupies an important place in the global literary and philosophical tradition, is also the subject of Zaur's reflections, which he shares with tourists ...
If you get Zaur as a guide, you are guaranteed a wonderful, eventful, interesting journey and immersion in the history and modernity of Azerbaijan!!!
It is impossible not to mention the excellent work of the drivers of the company Narmin Tour - Zakir and Natik. They are not only high professionals, but MASTERS of their craft! The roads in the mountains of the Lesser and Greater Caucasus are VERY DIFFICULT! - they carried out their business firmly and reliably. Thank them so much!!!
We are really looking forward to new routes from the company Narmin Tour. "As soon as possible, so immediately." In the sense that as soon as there are new routes, we focus on these tours as soon as possible!

Many thanks for this to NARMIN TOUR and Zaur, who surrounded us with paternal care and attention, 24 hours in touch. Is everything okay, what questions, suggestions. Special thanks to you, Zaur! Baku has charmed us! A very beautiful city: lots of greenery, cleanliness,fountains, luxurious buildings! And how

Excellent Russian , if there were problems with the language , they were quickly solved .Very convenient location of the Maestro hotel near the old town. The hotel staff spoke Russian / which is important/ and there was a wonderful brewed azerchai around the clock. With the guide Nargiz, we spent 3 days watching day and night Baku, burning mountain and much more - well, it was very informative.Further with the guide ISA / he is also a driver in a very clean car/ We had a great time. As part of the tour, half of Azerbaijan traveled in 4 days. It was FIRE!!!!!. Driving, historical information, delicious national food, baklava at home, currency exchange, everything was great!

For the first time I visited abroad, in the country of Azerbaijan together with the company Narmin Tour. To be honest, my first flight and journey were very exciting. But I didn't regret the time, effort, or money I spent.
I saw a completely different world with noisy streets, friendly and good-natured people, rich shopping malls, majestic old buildings, fascinating museums and unique landscapes! Azerbaijan turned out to be a friendly and very warm country with a very distinctive and unique landscape for me. I advise everyone to fly here, to Baku, and see everything with their own eyes!
I would like to express my special gratitude to the excellent guide and accompanying Zaur. He met us at the airport, accompanied us during the entire trip. He never took us to any bad or substandard places, and also always tried to fulfill our wishes in the best possible way. We sincerely thank him for such hospitality and understanding!
Have a wonderful holiday to everyone!

My dream has come true🤩I saw Azerbaijan in all its glory. Thanks to the company Narmin Tour for the good organization of the tour: "Azerbaijan is where East meets West." In all the cities where we have been, there are very good hotels (the location is great) and polite staff. Many thanks to the charismatic, erudite, intelligent and cheerful guide Zaur. Throughout the tour, Zaur was our "mom-dad". He took into account all our wishes. I was constantly in touch. Special thanks for climbing up the hill to the fortress. It was fantastic. Zaur not only told us the history of Azerbaijan, but also initiated us into the customs of this country. He introduced us to the cuisine of Azerbaijan from different regions. We had lunch in family cafes. It was very tasty. I would also like to mention the drivers:Natika and Gosha, who accompanied us on the tour. I will recommend the tour to my friends. I will definitely come again🤩

For a week I traveled through an amazing, wonderful country, unique in its natural phenomena, rich in its culture and traditions, as well as its cuisine, which will undoubtedly satisfy even the most fastidious gourmet.
Azerbaijan combines the incongruous: rock art with ornate palaces of oil kings, a Zoroastrian temple with a cultural center from Zaha Hadid, chic restaurants with magnificent interiors with simple roadside cafes (but no less delicious from this), dynamic modern life with traditional Oriental values.
Azerbaijanis are very hospitable, a warm welcome will be provided in any home. If you go into the courtyard, you will certainly be invited to enter and treated to tea with sweets. And so the locals let strangers into the house quite easily!
I envy those who have not been to Baku yet! Whether it's the city of lights or the city of winds, but it's fascinating, delicious, bright and always mysterious! It is not necessary to talk about all the sights in Baku, I'm afraid a couple of hours will not be enough to simply reread them. I'll tell you what surprised you.
In Baku, I was struck by the underground passages. Many of them are beautifully decorated with bas-reliefs and lined with marble. Magnificent museums in this city, which, of course, should be visited. We managed to visit three (the Azerbaijan National Museum of Art, the National Museum of the History of Azerbaijan, the Carpet Museum). We were very lucky with guides in each of these museums. I didn't expect that everyone's collections are so rich and diverse. Baku is a very green city. And that's great! And, of course, a Muscovite is always a little jealous of roses blooming in parks in December!!! You can compare Baku with Paris, Istanbul, and Dubai! In the vicinity of Baku, the "Martian" steppes are located near luxurious beaches, and very close to the "forest" of oil pumping stations. And all this also excites the imagination. The Zoroastrian temple of Fire, built during the time of the already dominant Islam. Of course, the fiery mountain and mud volcanoes (it's a pity they weren't shown to us, referring to the mud ...).
But we visited not only Baku and its surroundings…
The cobbled streets of Lagich with one- or two-storey stone buildings with unexpected turns and dead ends make you believe that you are in a medieval city, and even stunning workshops immerse their flavor in a bygone era.
The cobblestone streets of Sheki amaze with their lively self-construction, contrasting with the majestic palace of the Sheki Khans, built without a single nail, striking visitors with its luxurious interiors.
And of course, the 12th-century Albanian Church in the village of Kish shocks with its severity and monumentality. And the exciting discoveries of Heyerdahl's Tour are surprising, as is his bust-monument in an Azerbaijani village. I wonder what the Heyerdahl monument does in Azerbaijan? Go and find out!
The "red–brick" Ganja is the pearl of Azerbaijan. Let it be less contrasting than Baku, but more homely and authentic. I was fascinated by the sculpture "The Poetic image of Vasekh". He is also complex and interesting, as is the outstanding Azerbaijani thinker and poet Mirza Shafi Vazeh.
Visit not only "Eastern Paris" (Baku), but also necessarily "little Germany" - the city of Geigel. This is a very colorful city founded by Germans from Württemberg. We also went to the lake of the same name, but it met us with the otherworldly misty world of Silent Hill. The fog was such that the connection with reality was lost! So, it will be necessary to return to be fascinated by the natural beauty of the lake in a different weather.
But a minute of criticism also came up… I will not talk about the Azerbaijani-Armenian conflict. This is an extremely difficult topic for many. It is present everywhere in the country. And it requires a separate complex conversation. But I would like to say something about the cult of Heydar Aliyev. A lot of this, in my opinion, is too much. Perhaps the remnants of "Leninians" and "Stalinians" speak in me, but a person will not be less great and dear to his fellow citizens if his monuments do not stand on every central square, as well as his portraits hang in every institution. After all, the memory is real, it is inside us. And the number of monuments, sometimes, does not speak at all about the greatness of the individual. Of course, Heydar Aliyev will forever remain a hero and a great political figure for Azerbaijanis, but it seems to me that overkill is always bad. Even in preserving the memory of a great person for the citizens of their country, it is not worth going too far.
Let's get back to the pleasant ... Of course, the numerous natural beauties are amazing: snow-capped mountain peaks, the warm Caspian Sea, full-flowing bubbling rivers, blue lakes, the burning Yanardag mountain. This small country has absorbed a lot of natural gifts!
But the soul of any country for me is its markets. Time passes, cities change, but the soul remains... When you get to the Azerbaijani bazaars, you plunge into the luxury of the East, enjoy the spicy aroma of its spices and the delicate taste of its fruits. It is a special pleasure to stroll through the local bazaars, jostling in close rows, marveling at the variety and multicolour of tomatoes, as well as pickles, jams and compotes… These colorful vegetables / fruits in numerous jars look simply enchanting. Any designer can learn from local merchants in creating color schemes.
Go and plunge into the magical worlds of Azerbaijan! I hope I'll be back there too!
As for household trifles... The hotels are diverse (in my opinion, I had 4* everywhere), but not all are clean and have great breakfasts. There was no fruit anywhere! Why in a country where they just fall from trees at any time of the year, does it not occur to you to wash them and put them on the table in a hotel? It has remained a mystery to me. The breakfasts are quite meager, which also surprised me unpleasantly in this hospitable country. There is something to work on in the tourism sector!
The center is clean everywhere, but unfortunately, not because they don't litter, but because they clean up well. In all restaurants, the dishes are large and delicious (from expensive ones in the center of Baku to roadside cafes). It is delicious and safe to eat everywhere. The Internet works great, even away from cities. Unless in the mountains I didn't take a couple of times for the whole trip.

We would like to thank Narmin Tour for organizing and conducting our tour in Azerbaijan. The tour was called "Hello, Baku! (4 days + air)". We arrived in this sunny city for the first time and in 4 days it was shown to us in all its glory. Everything is organized clearly: they met and escorted from / to the airport (a huge hello to the driver Mahmoud, a very charming young man), placed him in the Nemi hotel (it's hard to think of a better hotel location), took him on a tour, brought him back, answered all questions, helped, advised, listened to the wishes of tourists. There is nothing to complain about, everything is at the highest level! I don't know about other bands, but we were very lucky. There were only 6 of us. Practically, individual excursions. Nargiz was our great guide. This sweet girl with a very competent folding Russian speech unobtrusively and humorously introduced us to the sights and history of Baku and the surrounding area. I never adjusted it, if necessary, I repeated it for stragglers. Just a buzz, honestly! There was also plenty of time for independent walks. That's why we got acquainted with Baku. But there is still something to see in Azerbaijan, which means we need to plan our next trip. We hope that the Narmin Tour will also help us in this. See you soon!
P.S. I would like to emphasize the goodwill of the people living there. It seemed to us that everyone we met was ready to help, show and tell. Not everyone already knows Russian. But many.

My tour "Pearls of the Caspian Sea" included both an excursion program and a vacation on the coast of the "gray" Caspian Sea. Having extensive travel experience, I had been planning a visit to Baku for a long time and was preparing in advance, looking forward to having fun. But the reality exceeded all my expectations: delight, admiration - not all the emotions that can be expressed in this case. And the trip largely took place thanks to the well-established work and hospitality of the travel agency "Narmin Tour", its organizer Zaur and excellent professional guides Gulnaz and Natik

We traveled around Azerbaijan with the Narmin Tour. Isa, the guide, was always with us. I really liked it. The guide is what you need: at our request, a minimum of numbers, and a maximum of available information about the old and modern Azerbaijan. There is a lot of useful and interesting information about today's life in the country.
Special thanks to our driver named Natik. Calm, careful driving. Always smiling, ready to help at any moment.
And, of course, to the main person at the company - Zaur, a thousand words of appreciation for solving our problems that the Russian travel agency RosPlus has created for us. Try not to contact this office. But this is another review

In September 2023, we managed to visit Azerbaijan from the "Travel Store", hosted by the Narmin Tour. The program of the tour "Azerbaijan - the crossroads of cultures" turned out to be very successful: we visited not only the magnificent handsome Baku, but also Ganja and Sheki, surrounded by greenery (I regret that little time is allotted to Ganja, and I want to walk slowly through its streets, to see everything). We drove through both semi-desert and mountainous terrain, we even saw camels! An unforgettable experience! The people are hospitable, welcoming and responsive. Thanks to our guides: Nargiz (Baku) and Zaur (other cities), who told and showed their country in all its glory. Thanks to Zaur, we tasted home cooking! Very tasty!!!I recommend visiting Azerbaijan!

Thanks to our guide Zaur and the Narmin Tour company, I fell in love with Azerbaijan☺️
From the moment of arrival, we were surrounded by care and good mood.
Zaur told us all about the history and modernity of the country, the life of the locals.
I will list just a few moments: a comfortable minibus, lunch with an Azerbaijani family, setting fire to mud volcanoes, viewing a burning mountain, passing over the oldest bridge in Ilisu, a photo in a papakha in Lagich, tasting local alcoholic beverages and Sheki baklava and much more.
Total recommendatien, as they say 💪🏼

We visited Azerbaijan at the end of April 2023 under the program of the tour "Azerbaijan - the land of lights". In addition to arrival/departure days, these are three full-fledged days in Baku with excursions around the city and the surrounding area, three days of travel to the regions of the country on the route "Baku - Sheki - Ganja - Baku" with overnight stays in Sheki and Ganja and way stops in Shamakhi, Lagich, Kish, Geigel. During the trip to the regions, we got acquainted not only with historical sights, but also admired the nature of different climatic zones - from semi-deserts to mountain forests. Especially impressed by the natural beauty of the slopes of the Greater and Lesser Caucasus.
Many thanks to the employees of the Narmin Tour company and, first of all, to its head and at the same time to our guide on a trip to the regions of Nauru for the impeccable organization of the tour. Everything was on top: tour service, comfortable cars, good hotels, transfer from the airport and back.
Zaur turned out to be not only an erudite guide, but also a cheerful, very caring and sociable person. He introduced us not only to the history of the country and the sights we visited, but also told us a lot about the customs of the people, national cuisine and in general many other things that interested us. To some extent, our trip to the regions turned out to be a gastrotour. In family cafes, and in the mountain village of Lagich, even just in the family of the director of the local school, we were given dinners with tasting dishes prepared according to recipes of the region in which we were at the moment.
I would also like to mention a very interesting and qualified guide Arif. We had several excursions with him around Baku and its surroundings. I was particularly impressed by the excursion to the temple of fire worshippers Ateshgah, where Arif spoke very interestingly and in detail about the religions associated with fire. I also really liked his stories during the sightseeing and night tours of Baku about Azerbaijani poets (with reciting their poems in different languages), writers, singers, political figures of both modern and past times.
I would also like to note the very professional work of drivers, primarily those with whom we traveled around the country. This is Goshkar (I hope I spelled the name correctly) and, especially, Natik - we drove most of the route with him. Their careful driving on mountain roads inspires respect.
We will recommend this tour to our friends. And as for ourselves, we hope to come to Azerbaijan again and use the services of the Narmin Tour again (we hope that there will be excursions on completely new routes where we have not been yet).

For the first time in Azerbaijan. The first time with the Narmin Tour as a host. After all, you will rarely surprise our tourist with a good one, but in this tour ("Azerbaijan is the land of lights"), everything was really perfect!! An interesting rich program, good hotels, there were no these imposed "mandatory" visits to souvenir shops. Special thanks to the intellectual guide Zaur for his attentive attitude and interesting presentation of information, as well as to the most reliable professional driver Farid!!
