Spoiling your reputation...

BrijMohan_J, Apr 2024

Very old van...very bad guide....took us to a very bad restaurant, saying it's for poor people who can afford....was it his problem.....if people can spend so much ,why can't they afford good food......

Great day

Gaelle_H, Apr 2024

Samir was an amazing guide and personality! He made the tour as interesting as it could have been. Pick up was more than on time and everything was perfect!

A very good one day trip activities.

Joby_V, Mar 2024

Everything is okay. the guide Yakub and the driver has a very good knowledge and very decent person. Just remember that you may not be lucky to go to the mud volcano the operator says this is due to bad weather but in this case this should be marked in the information list that in some days due to weather conditions trip to mud volcano (the main attraction) will be cancelled.

Excellent tour

Szymon_G, Feb 2024

Road on the clay desert was remarkable. The Vulcans as well. The guide knew a lot of the oil industry and that was also super interesting.

Excellent tour

Bumsoo_H, Jan 2024

Excellent tour. Our guide (Sabir?) tried to explain all the important buildings and monuments in detail. One thing we regret is that we couldn't visit the volcano because of the rain of the previous day.

knowledgeable and friendly tour guide

Hussam_B, Jan 2024

Our tour guide (Sameer) was friendly and knowledgeable. We visited most of the important sites in and around Baku.

Great experience

Stanley_K, Dec 2023

The guide was awesome and explained well and the places we went were great too.Unfortunately, the weather was super windy and cold on that day but we can't control the weather.It was interactive and we got to learn lot more about Baku.

Fine

Mehdi_S, Nov 2023

The best thing in the tour was Samir, he is an azerbijani tour guide very educated and informative with funny soul I truly respect thus guy. The driver also was amazing l. Just a little thing happened which I did not like, when they stopped us for lunch in a restaurant the guys were rude and rushing me to pay while I was still eating. I found a fly 🪰 in my food and asked to change the food for me. The tour also was more expensive which I regret I booked through viator, I advise people to book via the agencies directly in baku they will save more money

Great way to see it all

Jay_F, Oct 2023

This is the perfect way to experience all 4 unique experiences outside of Baku. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, personable and humorous. The driver was an expert at getting through traffic and navigating to each location. It's totally worth booking this excursion to see these important landmarks in Azerbaijan as each location is a long way from Baku city centre. Pick up and drop off at the hotel and lunch at a local Azerbaijani restaurant were also a great part of this tour.

Great fun day out!

Iain_R, Oct 2023

A well run and interesting tour, arranged by the friendly folk in the TES office and delivered by Samir with knowledge, enthusiasm and humour, all shared with a great bunch of fellow travellers. Highly recommended!!!

Nice

Khanh_D, Oct 2023

Hit all the spot I wanted to go. Felt rushed but guide gave us 10 to 20 minutes of free time to explore on our own. Interestingly enough. All four site I wanted to see weren't as big as I imagined in my head.

Great

ERVIN_I, Oct 2023

I had a great tour experience. They picked me up in front of the hostel, and our tour guide, Samir, was not only knowledgeable but also quite entertaining. I had a lot of fun.

Must to do tour,

Leonard_F, Oct 2023

The tour was simply amazing… you get to see the key attractions around Baku in one shoot. The guide, Jacob, was extremely friendly and provided useful information about any place visited. Definitely this is an experience to not miss.

Quick and effective tour

Pasquale_L, Oct 2023

Very well organised tour. Our guide Samir was prepared and talked a lot about Azerbaijan culture, also outside the tour itself.

Too much in one day

Miriam_G, Sep 2023

Good to get an overview but we were rushed through all sights. Guide spoke unclearly english and it way hard, nearly impossible, to follow and understand. In the bus the air condition was running too loud what madd it impossible to hear completely what the guide said.

Very average at best

Bryce_M, Aug 2023

Interesting sites however the guide spoke to fast and had a very heavy accent so it was difficult to understand what he was saying. The bus was crowded and very uncomfortable 😣

Great experience

Nadia_M, Aug 2023

It was a great tour. You can visit most of the things in the vicinty of Baku. It is a place filled with history. Our guide was really helpful and filled us with lot of details. The Van was clean and cool. A great tour to do if you have limited time and wish to visit most of the great things near Baku.

Good tour

Fiona_M, Aug 2023

Fire temple and fire mountain were my favourite parts of the tour. Lots of information given to learn about the history of Azerbaijan

Great Tour Guide

Colette_W, Aug 2023

Michel was wonderful, very knowledgeable and insightful about the history of Azerbaijan to todays current culture. Nothing went unanswered and nothing was too much trouble.
