Quick tour around Baku
Nirav_V, May 2024
Good part . Samir the guide .He was very cooperative and informative. Switched between English and Russian efficiently! Never felt rushed Also the lunch that was part of the program was filling . We were vegetarians and did not miss anything. Bad part, between viator ,an aggregator called Enjoy Azerbaijan travels and my tours Baku the actual operator, the intenary went for a toss! The sequence was not as per the discription which is perefctly fine, but the skipped the hyder aliev centre all to gather !!! Imagine how it disappointing it would be for someone who booked this trip to get an outside view and photostop !!
Good Value
David_H, May 2024
Great value for the price. The guides explanations and knowledge about the sites was excellent. Really enjoyed his talk about the history of the Zoroastian Fire Temple.
Nice compact day trip covering all important highlights around Baku
Pedro_M, May 2024
Visiting the oil platform and the mosque was interesting, but we think it would be best to spend less time there and more time in the natural parks where the landscape is amazing. Lunch was very good and tasty. Overall, the first half of the day trip was much better than the second half. Our guide Reza was friendly, but he really had no understanding for people in our tour who were not interested in all the long stories he was sharing, he called on people and explicitly demanded people not to sleep even if they wanted to take a short nap. We found that very strange. He also talks a lot in circles and doesn't directly come to a point so it is difficult to follow what he is saying even if his English is very good. He was also talking a lot about languages, but in a culturally insensitive way. It is fine that he has his opinion, but it's just not the place to share that, he should rather share facts and stories about Azerbaijan in our opinion. Overall he was still friendly, but his style and attitude were really strange. The tour is overall still worth it, we just recommend that they distribute more time to the natural parks.
Happy I chose this tour

Peter_C, Apr 2024
It’s a very good tour with lots of sites. And all site tickets and lunch are included. Guide Samir very knowledgeable. I’m only not giving it 5 stars because they wouldn’t let me off the bus when it was passing my hotel on the way back to the city. Claimed the traffic police wouldn’t let them stop.

Must do tour of Baku
Nitin_C, Apr 2024
We had a great guide in Samir who told us history of all the places in detail. The tour covers the essential places needed to know about Ajerbaijan and Baku culture/history.
Excellent day !
Micha_C, Apr 2024
A really amazing day with Samir, a very experienced guide who made this tour so interesting and everyone feel so welcome to Azerbaijan.
Exceptional
Mazen_Q, Apr 2024
This trip marks the best one in my lifetime, Samir was the kindest and most professional knowledgeable guide, I even now consider him as a brother and a close friend. The tour is well performed, the places we visited are amazing in showing the historical culture and religious traditions. Everything was clear and on time, Samir could speak around 6 or 7 different languages including Arabic! Which is phenomenal. Can’t have enough words to share my gratitude for the whole trip and amazing vibes Samir provided us with, we even danced the traditional old Azerbaijani dance! You must book for this tour if you wanna have a fulfilling experience ✨ Thanks Samir!
It's worth it :)
Tommy_G, Apr 2024
It was really nice. From the beginning you feel being taken care of. I've been contacted several times before the tour with all the details and although there is a lot of chaos at the Double Gates (my pick-up point) in the morning, everything went smoothly. From what I saw there are some points around the city, where you can be picked up and dropped off (mainly hotels). My guide was Reza, a very talkative guy, who told us about the famous building we were passing and the landmarks we visited. As a little downside: you feel a bit rushed through the attractions, but the schedule is tight and it actually took a full day to complete the tour. The complimentary lunch was also a very nice touch as the food was delicious :) All in all, it'd give it a solid 8, maybe even a 9 out of 10 :)
Well Covered & Planned Tour
AkshayAnand_Y, Apr 2024
This is a very professional yet friendly tour. Reza our guide was excellent. Had a great time. Would definitely recommend.
Reza is a great guide
Shivanshu_C, Apr 2024
it is a great trip at a perfect pace. What made it even more interesting was our guide Reza's knowledge about the country and history of the region. He is well read and shared many stories to help us understand Azerbaijan and its culture. Cherry on top was an sumptuous lunch.
Wonderful day trip to Gobusthan
Geo, Apr 2024
The tour guide was wonderful, knowledgeable and witty. However the vehicle didn't have a lot of leg space and lunch was just okay.
Around Baku, Absheron day tour
Sukhesh_M, Apr 2024
