Sheer waste of time

Sheer waste of time, very long journey in the bus, which has no wifi against the promise. When it went uphill they drove very slowly and the air conditioning was switched off, otherwise the engine probably would not have participated. There is nothing interesting to see, just completely overflowing tourist traps. Bad Service in the overpriced restaurant, I had to wait 40min and had not even got a drink. The tickets said the cable car ticket was included in the price, but it was not. You had to constantly wait for untimely fellow travellers. Worst tour I have ever booked, absolutely not recommended!

Beautiful, good views but tiring

Qabala is a nice place, away from the city with nice cool temperatures - it was fun. The lunch by Nahur lake was breathtaking and also very filling. The only problem is - the trip is long Almost an 9 hour journey to stay there for 4 hours. And a 6 seater van where seats face each other is extremely uncomfortable and crammed. I will not take anything away from the rating but keep this in mind. I would suggest to stay a day near Nahur lake or in Qabala if you are going there. Ulya was a good guide and we enjoyed barring the tiresome trip. Thanks!

Experiencing Heavenly landscapes in Gabala and Shamakhi

We booked a tour for g Gabala and Shamakhi and had so much fun throughout the tour. Leyla is the best tour guide ever! She is extremely friendly, informative and her energy keeps everyone excited. We saw so many beautiful spots and got to do everything in time. It was a memorable and amazing experience for us. We, as a couple, highly recommend AZP travel company and requesting for Leyla as the tour guide. The places are beautiful and you don't want to miss this one!💛

Unreliability of viator and tour operator

Worst experience ever had. All of sudden my trip was cancelled by tour operator without informing me 24 hours in advance. Also, the deducted money from my card was not returned immediate. Denying the service but taking money from customer account. If customer cancelled the trip within 24 hrs they have the cancellation policy. But as a customer I have to suffer if they cancel. All my day gone on Azerbaijan fighting with viator and tour operator. Still not received my money. Imagine my distress going through all this in new country with my family. Is it spam?

A good day out (a long day !)

Toghrul communicated really well and I was picked up on time. He kept us advised of what we were doing next and throughout the day. He and Ulya were really friendly and knowledgeable all day and the driver was good too, it was a nice friendly group. I have to say that this was a very long day - I got back to my hotel at around 10.45. The places we saw were close to each other but the end point was just u see 4 hours drive from Baku so you need to bare that in mind. This is no reflection on Ulya and Toghrul obviously! I did a trip the following day with a different company and it was very different - we were just on and off the bus, no communication and very little conversation. So if you can pick to use this company then you should. Highly recommended 👍🏽

Don’t Miss This!

I must say the tour was very professional and organized, they came to pick us from our hotels. We had a glance at the history of Azerbaijan at the Jumaa Mosque, and a lot of beautiful scenery from lakes and mountains. Can’t forget to mention our amazing tour guide Toghrul, an energetic young man with a good sense of humor :) Would recommend this trip to everyone!
