    Interesting short trip
    Great tour, the guide was very friendly and had an enthusiasm for the local area. I was expecting a bit more from the mud volcanos themselves considering they are considered a notable landmark, they weren't that impressive but the museum and petroglyphs also on the tour were fascinating. We only had 36 hours in the country on transit, so if you only have a short time here then this is a great way to spend half a day!

    Nice city tour experience of Baku
    Our Guide Mr. Khan, he was on time to Pickup, and he showed all the places with complementing few Hindi words. Unfortunately we went on Monday and few places were closed. So suggest all to avoid local sightseeing on Monday. Everything was perfect.

    My Friendly Guide
    I contacted Guided Azerbaijan (GA) before leaving from India. Located them on Internet. Was in touch with there executive Ms. Lamia. I wanted private taxi to pick me up from Baku Airport. Drive to Gabala stay for two nights then drive back to Baku and stay for four nights with all site seeing and shopping etc. with guide. Had number of changes in the program to suit my requirements. Lamia was very prompt in responding and making changes. I even talked to her over telephone. She was very pleasant and provided all relevant information. GA did not ask for any advance, the car and guide were at the airport as we arrived in Baku. We went straight to Gabala used the car for four days. On the fourth day Lamia and her colleague Fouad came to see us in the hotel, that is when we made the payment. We requested for some adjustments in the middle of itinerary and they gladly agreed to same. They were very professional and polite. I wish them all success and would recommend them to all my friends planning to go to Azerbaijan.

    I would like to thank you for the tour today. Ameen despite of being very knowledgeable about the history, culture and the country, he is a very pleasant person. Our tour supposed to be 3 to 4 hours and at the end I had a gift of 7 hours, learning with him and having good time chating. It was a pleasure to meet them and know about the country. Thanks a lot.

    Great family tour to Sheki with Guided Azerbaijan!
    Great day trip! Driver and guide arrived always on time with a nice clean minivan.... We had a private family tour and visited Diribaba Mausoleum in Maraza, Shamakhi Juma Mosque, Sheki Khan's Palace, Caravanserai and Church of Kish. All the sights were very interesting and our tour guide was great, she gave us a lot of information about the sights. We also stopped by the roadside for some local tea and bread. The trip back to Baku was very nice next to the mountains. It was a very nice experience! It is a full day trip, definately worth it! Thanks for organising! I really recommend the tour with Guided Azerbaijan!

    A great way to spend half the day by visiting the ancient archaeological sites of the ghobustan plane. It was really interesting to see the sights and the places that were once used by ancient people. My tour guide Naira was soo helpful by explaining each and every thing on the tour. Thanks Lamia for arranging such an amazing tour!!

    It was a wonderful place to visit and the village is the highest residential area in azerbaijan. The route to get there is just so scenic surrounded by picturesque mountains. Thanks Lamia from Guided Azerbaijan for suggesting me this place to visit and organising my trip. It was quite an interesting experience!!

    I visited gabala during July and my favourite part of this tour was the cable car ride and the biking up the hill! It was such an amazing experience. Great kudos for Lamia and Naira from guided azerbaijan for organising and coordinating this trip.

    Exceptional Tour Company!
    Our 5-day tour in Azerbaijan was nothing short of magical, and it wouldn't have been possible without the outstanding tour company and their fantastic team - Faud, Sherif, and Naira! Right from the start, Faud impressed us with his top-notch planning skills. He effortlessly handled all our queries, and his quick responses made us feel well-prepared and excited for the trip. Faud's attention to detail and passion for what he does set the tone for an incredible journey. Sherif, our remarkable driver! He was like a superhero on wheels, ensuring we never had to walk more than a step. Every time we stopped, Sherif brought the car right to us, making travel effortless and stress-free. But that's not all - when my shoes got caked in mud at the mud volcanoes, Sherif came to the rescue with a cloth and water to clean them! His thoughtful and caring nature truly made a difference, and we couldn't have asked for a better chauffeur. And then there's Naira - our vibrant and knowledgeable guide. She was the life of the tour, making every moment filled with excitement and laughter. Naira's passion for her country shone through as she shared captivating stories about Azerbaijan's history, culture, and traditions. Her open-mindedness and helpfulness were invaluable, allowing us to experience the country like locals while still benefiting from her expert guidance. Together, Faud, Sherif, and Naira formed an unbeatable trio that made our journey truly unforgettable. Their warmth and friendliness made us feel more like old friends exploring a new place than just tourists. Throughout the trip, we got a real sense of the heart and soul of Azerbaijan, and it's all thanks to this incredible team. In conclusion, we wholeheartedly recommend this tour company to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure in Azerbaijan. Faud's efficient planning, Sherif's unparalleled driving skills, and Naira's infectious enthusiasm make them an exceptional team. If you want to experience the best of Azerbaijan with genuine and caring individuals, then look no further. Hats off to Faud, Sherif, and Naira for making our journey one for the books! We'll cherish the memories and the new friendships we've made for a lifetime. Thank you all for an incredible experience! 🌟🚗🎉

    Good tour, amazing scenery, but long drive
    Enjoyed our tour with Nurlan as our guide and Jamal as our driver. We learned a lot about the country and the area we visited. Jamal did a great job driving up to Khinalig and back. One drawback was that the back windows of the car were heavily tinted. Difficult to see the scenery without rolling down the windows which were manual and not easy to roll. In Khinalig, we climbed up to the top of the hill with the cell tower — great views, but the guide should have stayed near us as we climbed up and down since both of us are in our 70s. Enjoyed seeing the mosque and Jewish area of Guba. We elected not to go to the Genocide Memorial as it was getting late in the day.

Took full day tour to Lahij through amazing mountains panorama! Tour itinerary was arranged very well and adjusted a bit to my preferences as was private tour. Especially was interesting to see Shamakhi chemistry! Had few stops by my request to buy local fruits and food. Guide and driver were very professional. Guide had full information about all visited places and also explained about culture, cuisine, traditions, etc.
I would definatelly recommend it for long day trip.

We started with our day with Orkan at 09:00am. It was good timing to start a wonderful day. We drove along the way and first stop it was in a market to get some snacks for the day trip. We visited to Diribaba Mausoleum. It was one of the historical sites, which i vsited before - had long stairs to reach to up. From the top of the building you can see the all village. Then we went to Mosque. it belongs to 743 and renovated so new. All places where i visited, was very clean and tidy. I loved it a lot. Then we drove 1 hour and reach to Lahij. Lahij has a lot of handcraft shops. My guide informed me, they have nice spices for buy. I bough zangefil from there, I hope when I use it it will be usefull hhhhhhh. We did our lunch also in Lahij village in one cafe. It was good. It ancient village. Highly recommended to the history lovers and for bloggers.
