From Baku to Kaukaz - comfortable sightseeing - Travelled with my sister and my 75 year old mom, whose dream was to see the Kaukaz mountains. Said was recommended to me through a Facebook group for Polish people wanting to visit Azerbejdzan.
Contact with Said prior to our arrival was excellent. Promptly replying and aligning on the plan of the visit.
We hired a driver with car service to take us to few places in Azerbejdzan (Quba, Sheki, Gebele, Xinaliq, Gobustan) and to collect us on arrival at 5am and bring us to airport at 4 am.
Ehtiram, our driver was very helpful and always punctual. He helped us on thr way with purchases like silk scarves in Sheki and arranged for us fresh qutab (local flat bread) so that we could take them to Poland. Thanks to having that arrangement wr could see a lot of Azerbejdzan in comfortable way. It would probably be a struggle for us if we were to do it all with local transport.
Big thanks!

Amazing experience in Azerbaijaan - I had visited Azerbaijaan in last week of June. The tour was very well organized. From the reception at airport to drop off at the end of our tour everything was very detailed planned. The booked hotels were very good. We visited Guba, Gabala and Baku.
Nurlan driver is wonderful. He took us to a lot of places and the ride was very comfortable. Very patient and accomodating to my kids whims.
Even on the last day they took us to fire temple even though we had missed it earlier.
Overall a great tour and a wonderful experience.

Panoramic Azerbaijan ❤️ - From the bottom of my heart, I would like to thank Absheron for making our trip a memorable one. Words cannot express the level of professional service rendered with a personal touch. We (my friend and I) had a great experience on our 8 nights/9 days tour to Azerbaijan with Absheron Travels.
Absheron Travel was recommended to me by a close friend. Our trip went above and beyond our expectations. They were very responsive and helpful from the first interaction. We were provided a seamless booking experience, were very communicative throughout, and were always available to answer any questions. The itinerary was excellently planned, ticking off all our wishlist items and adding some experiences we never would’ve thought of. Every detail of the tour was timely explained, including suggestions on food, restaurants, shopping places, etc. We did not feel that we were away from home in a new country. I would definitely recommend this company to others.
This review would be incomplete without thanking the two most important people:
Said: A very knowledgeable person who provides you with the right information to enable you to put the trip together. Very kind, humble, responsive, and extremely easy to deal with, with no hard sell. He will help you in all possible ways he can. I would definitely recommend this company to others.
Aga: He was our escort to Seki and Guba. Very knowledgeable, kind, polite, and helpful. He knew every detail of the places and was ever ready to help at any given point in time.
Love you, 🇦🇿

We had a wonderful time filled to the brim with attractions. Everything from pickup from the airport, through money exchange, to hotels completed in accordance with our arrangements.
We could focus on discovering Azerbaijan.
We recommend Said in 100% :)

Best Travel Agent - Most Professional, Helpful, & Supportive. - I wish there was more than 5 stars to rate Said and his agency. We found him through TA and since we were little apprehensive to handover our entire 11 day Azerbaijan travel booking and plan to him - he gladly gave us a few people we could get references from. Now I know, at this end of our trip, why they rated him so highly.
From the time he came to pick us up at the airport and ensured we were assigned a good big vehicle with a driver - he was constantly in touch with recommendations, to dos and not to dos. Even though he was not travelling with us, he was virtually there all along. Since our driver was not English speaking, any comm gaps was speedily resolved.
In any trip of this nature and length, you are bound to face some hiccups. It's the manner in which he took care of them and addressed them was commendable. Generally, once travel agents take the full money at the start of the trip, they don't care too much - but it's the opposite of Said. Till we didn't leave for the airport back to India, he took full care and responsibility of us like a family.
I have traveled many a countries, met many agents, in India incl, but never ever have I really had the urge to write about someone with such high regards, Said deserves it.
Do me a favour, when travelling to AZ, get in touch with him and get the rates for hotels and travel. You will find his rates very competitive and needless to say his service level is all 7 star.

great services -
Said and his agency offer all the services a tourist needs at affordable prices. My wife and me,we had already set the schedule and we needed transport and a guide for several days. We had the opportunity to travel in a modern car and our guide Shehryar was an excellent driver, attentive to us, provided us with a lot of information and made our short visit to Azerbaijan a very pleasant one. Thank you
