This tour was 10/10! I came to Azerbajan because I saw that tourist can visit Karabah and I immediatly organize my trip here. Shahid was THE BEST TOUR GUIDE ever. He was very organized, informative and friendly. What ever we wanted to visit he tried and succeded to help us. This man was genious! Definitly worth visiting!
A great tour to Karabakh with Aydin We really enjoyed our tour to Karabakh with Aydin. He knows the region very well and shared lots of interesting information about its history, as well as personal experiences from his time serving in the army there. This gave us a much more personal insight into the region. The drive is long, but the route is very scenic, so it really isn’t a problem. I even had time to organise my plans for the following days on the way there and attend my online course on the way back! Overall, a very interesting and worthwhile experience. Thanks, Aydin, for sharing your knowledge and personal stories with us!
I joined a Karabakh one day tour with guide Naemina and driver Nurlan. It's fascinating! There are very few information of Karabakh on Chinese internet so it's important to come and see the real situation. Our guide did a great job even she was at a very young age. She introduced everything very clearly in simple English and waited patiently for everyone to get ready before moving on to the next place. When guests had questions she would always answer accurately. Plus our driver is a very nice person with profound driving skills and good English skills. He would lower the speed of the car when he saw me take photos and I'm really grateful to him.
During the Karabakh tour, Narmina did a fantastic job. She introduced everything detailed and vivid.

The trip to Karabakh was wonderful; I expected to see empty, ruined places, but instead I saw the beautiful and rebuilt city of Shusha, full of history. Guide Shahid made this day even better.
The tour was very interesting and the rain did not bother us at all. Our guide, Shahid Kvv, was very knowledgeable and took great care of us. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to know more about Azerbaijan's history.
