An excellent experience with attentive service.
We have booked airport transfer services as well as one‑day tour car‑charter services. Said provided exceptional service. He personally handled every single communication and was meticulous throughout the whole service process. During our three‑day stay in Azerbaijan, all the wonderful experiences we had were brought to us by Said and his team. We have really enjoyed our trip.

A Memorable Baku Journey
We had such a great experience in Baku, and a big part of that was the excellent service we received throughout our trip. From the moment we arrived, the airport pickup was smooth and well organized. Our driver was always punctual, often arriving a little early, and was genuinely friendly and helpful whenever we needed anything.
The full-day tour was also very enjoyable, and everything was handled so well that we never had to worry about the arrangements. The coordinator stayed in touch and made sure everything was going according to plan.
We really appreciated how professional and caring the whole team was. It made our time in Baku relaxed, comfortable, and truly enjoyable. We would definitely recommend their service to anyone visiting Baku!

very trustworthy, reliable people, very good service at reasonable price.
We visited Baku from June 6th to 9th, Said did a great job. We are very happy with the airport pick up and drop off service and one day Baku suburb tour which included the Mud volcano, Gobustan rock paiting, Fire temple and Yanardag. The van was in a good condition, the driver and guide were very professional and the cost was reasonable. People enjoyed the time in Baku, really reliable tour company. We would definitely recommend the service!

Saeed you are the best ❤️😍
Hi i am Humair Rizvi from Dubai.
I had an amazing experience with our travel guide Mr. Saeed and i recommend him the most . He was extremely humble, caring, and professional throughout the entire trip. His English was excellent, which made communication very smooth and comfortable for us.
What really stood out was his honesty .. he always made sure we didn’t overpay for anything and guided us towards the best and most reasonably priced options. That level of trust made our trip completely stress-free.
He is also a very safe and skilled driver, which gave us great peace of mind during our travels. At every location, he gave us enough time to explore properly without feeling rushed, making the experience even more enjoyable.
Overall, a truly wonderful guide who goes above and beyond for his clients. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable and caring travel experience!
When you come to Azerbaijan … do not forget to book him if u wanto love the country … he knows all the spots all the streets all the short cuts of Azerbaijan.
Last but not the least he is also a good photographic sense 📷

Amazing
My travel experience is with Absheron was great. Everything was planned as it was read over to me (hotels, car, tours). I would definitely be travelling with Absheron in future. The company was one call away, when i needed some assistance. Our driver was amazing, the mastermind of our trip, he had all the patience in the world for sure.

Thank you very much for your feedback Mr. Khayyam! We are looking forward to welcome you back again.

Azerbejdżan to see
We spend 8 days in Azerbaijan, our driver & tour guide was Ilqar-Viano from Absheron Travel Agency. He showed us his country: Gabala & Shaki region, Guba region and Gibustan, Absheron & Mud volcanos. We had a tour in Baku as well. His English & Russian is perfect, so we do not had problem with communication. He showed us good restaurants in mamy places. I recommend spend time in Azerbaijan with Absheron Travel Agency. Regards, Adam Drozdowski

Fantastic package tour of Azerbaijan at a very competitve cost.
It was a 7 nights package tour of Azerbaijan arranged by Mr. Said Seyidov of Absheron covering Baku, Qabala, Tufandag, Sheki, Quba, Shadag, Gobustan. Itenary was well planned to cover all the places at leisure. Fantastic Hotels with good car and nice driver Mr. Ilqar. Overall experience was five star without any negative to even think about. I whole heartedly recommend Absheron for a very good package tour at a very competitve cost.

Stellar Guide Sayed!
Visiting Baku was an incredible experience, but what also made it unforgettable was Sayed- an amazing travel host and guide.
He made every location and food we had with him come alive with fascinating details and stories. His warmth, friendlies and knowledge made the whole experience very comfortable.
Really appreciate his patience, the enthusiasm with which he showed us places and flexibility, if I wanted to take things slow or spend extra time at a location. His great tips on places to explore on our own was a winner!
Truly thank you and recommend others for the fantastic experience!
