“The tour was so cool and perfect. Places we visited and the tour prices are excellent. Nazperi was our tour guide and she was so good, knowledgeable and informative. She explained everything well and helped all for everything they needed. Her English and the way she speaks were brilliant. Highly recommended with Nazperi For the company; I would suggest to increase the time for Cable car Gabal. The bus looks new and clean and the driver was good but it would be great if it has comfortable seats for long way trip like this.”

“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.”
