“Azienda onesta con tour interessanti: abbiamo svolto due diversi tour con loro, prenotati tramite Getyourguide. Il primo che prevedeva i posti vicini Baku come la moschea Bibiheybat, Gobustan, Vulcani di fango, Tempio del fuoco, Yanar Dag ed il Centro culturale Heydar Aliyev; il secondo tour portava in un giorno a Gabala. Ci siamo trovati bene ad entrambi, le guide erano gentili e parlano bene inglese. Solitamente avvisano la sera prima per confermare l'orario e il punto d'incontro. Gli orari sono stati rispettati.”

Highly recommend him and his tours!”
