The expedition was well organized. We saw a lot of places for over 7 hours. All thanks to the great stories of Mr. Samir, who was able to humorously present not only history, but also everyday life in Azerbaijan. I definitely recommend it!

This tour with Zaur was incredibly fun, efficient, well timed and informative. The stops were really cool and made the memories worthwhile.

We liked this trip very much. We had a great guide Tural. He told us a lot of interesting infomation.

Zaur did a great job showing us the main highlights around Baku. Highly recommended.

Highly recommend. Awesome company and this tour is breathtaking.
