We had a wonderful weekend in Baku. Thank you so much for that to the AzTerra Company. We were met at the airport and immediately surrounded by care. The transfer was in a comfortable minivan. And the next day, we had a sightseeing tour of the old and new Baku plus Absheron with the beautiful guide Irina. From the first minute, you are captivated by her beaming smile, and now you are immersed in the history of old Baku. The story relives personal memories and makes you feel like you're part of those events, too. Irina really liked her pride in her city, in the changes that will transform the city for the better. A trip outside the city introduced us to the oldest religion of Zoroastrianism, we visited the monastery and the ever-burning rocks. Thank you so much to Irina and Azterra Company for your time in Baku, we will definitely come back as we have loved your city very much.
Coming from Europe you do not exactly what to expect when you choose the Caucasus region. Let me tell you that it is the right choise to make! Azerbaiyan was a delightful surprise;its People and cities of ancient culture Unesco protected definitely is a must. Terra Travel Agency was just perfect to organize my trip. The driver and the tourist guide for Baku city were excelent persons, both professionaly and human wise. Thanks to Oleg and his staff.
This was a perfect introduction to new and old Baku. Our guide Kerim was excellent. Our driver was also very careful. Kerim was very knowledgeable and interesting and we never felt rushed or under any pressure. He put our safety first at all times and we had a wonderful tour.
Fate and Azterra travel gave us the most wonderful guide in the world - Diana. This incredible woman, bright, charismatic, open, warm, showed us Azerbaijan not "a hot country abroad" but in such a friendly way. Thanks to Mr. Elmar, the trip was very comfortable and fun, and thanks to Diana we learned more than we would have with any other guide: we wandered around the old city, met a famous sculptor from all over the world, visited the cult places of Azerbaijan (Gobustan, Yanardag), learned where and what to eat deliciously and where it is best to wet our feet in the Caspian Sea. Best vacation of my life!
We thank Azterra Travel and personally manager Jamal for the flawless organization of our airport transfer and sightseeing tour of Baku. Thank you to our punctual and friendly driver Seymour. Diana Damir, our tour guide, generously shared with us her love for Azerbaijan, knowledge of the history of her country and her city, her erudition and sense of humor. We would be happy to recommend your company's services to our friends and acquaintances.
Spent the entire New Year's holidays 2022-2023 with AzTerra Travel. Booked transfers and excursions from them. I would like to immediately note the clarity of the performance of their duties by all employees of the company, all excursions started on time, transfer drivers also arrived on time. Now I'd like to share our wonderful guide, Diana. He is a great Professional (exactly capitalized) of his business, a concerned person, a terrific interlocutor, talking lovingly about his city of Baku, about the whole country Azerbaijan...
