Well Informed Guided Tour - Highly Recommend AZP travels for your visit to Baku and interior tours of Azerbaijan. The Guides, Mr. Sameer and Mr Nazif were will informed and helped us in understanding about the historical and current significance of Azerbaijan and its cultural roots. We had their service for our 7 day trip to Azerbaijan which covered Sheki, Gabele, Gobustan, Xinaliq, apart from Baku.

Historical city - We travelled dozens of countries in Europe and wanted convenient and historical country trip for short notice. For the start we choose to take a quick tour in the Old City and it was very interesting. Seeing Islamic and Turkish culture being mixed in post-soviet city was very exciting. Tour guide also knew Russian and Turkish history so for Jews it was a new taste. But we would recommend to travel all Azerbaijan and then at the end take tours in Baku.
