Great half day tour experience with Mehran
Great experience for a 3-4 hours long Ateshgah and Yanar Dag tour with my wife and 3 year old kid. Bit expensive from an Indian's perspective but worth the money for the hassle free, friendly, comfortable experience. Our guide Mehran was superb and went out of the way to help us with local shopping. After end of the tour, he personally drove us to a great shop for purchasing local pakhlava and other stuff to take back home with us and also recommended other places to shop for local stuff.

Best tour guide, Tahir
We were 5 in the group, we were provided with a very comfortable car, the drive was lovely and thanks to Tahir our guide, he was explaining the city while we were traveling. He is extremely aware of the history, explains it really well. He is always smiling and very calm, we fell in love with Baku and a lot of it is to do with how Tahir made it so comfortable for us ♥️♥️♥️

My first visito the beautiful country of Azerbaijan.
I want to tell about my experience in my trip to Azerbaijan, which is the first time I am in this nice country. The tours that I took, where really excellent and the profesionalism of my guide Tahir and his brother Arif was really an excellent experience in a private tour. Tahir has the most enjoyable patience to explaine all what we visited with detail. Being my first time to this beautiful country, exotic for us comming from Costa Rica, at the other side of the world, this was an excellent oportunity to have the best tour with very profesional and lovely people.

Unique fire mountain with great guide
We had another tour with Guided Azerbaijan. We went to Fire temple and Fire mountain. Me and my wife mostly admired by fire mountain. It is best place to feel the warm in windy weather. On our way back to city we stopped in Haydar Aliyev Center. We took 20 minutes to walk around and for nice pictures front of amazing building. Highly recommended!!
