Baku City Tour - The Tour Guide was good and kind. Highly recommended him . But during my booking there were many itineraries like around 11 or 18 locations. Maybe as a freelancer he is not aware about it. Thank you

Awesome tour of Baku - with Orkhan M - We had Orkhan Mahmudlu pick us up from the Hotel and take us to the various important tourist attractions in the city. It was very professionally organized. Orkhan, with his impeccable English, took pains in going to great detail on the how and why of the places - gave us a lot of background to help us appreciate what we saw. A very professional team, Orkhan - thanks so much for being with us. You have been amazingly customer centric. Any company would pick you in a heartbeat for their sales positions. Good luck dear.

Amazing city - My family of four took this tour with Mr Samir, and we had a great time. We were able to cover all the main sites within the city and benefited from Mr Samir's vast knowledge and experiences, not only the tip sites in Baku but also the lesser known. The agency also had a separate driver for us, so we could also walk through sites such as the old city and then, be picked up without wasting any time. Finally, Mr Samir took us to an amazing restaurant with authentic food. We didn't know what to expect as vegetarians but thoroughly enjoyed the meal... as well as the entire city tour!

Baku Full day tour - It took me really long to find a suitable tour in English and this tour was the best decision! Our guide Orkhan was very intelligent, smart and empathetic person with tons of interesting information with whom a whole day flew like couple of minutes. He kindly answered millions of my question and made our first day in Baku unforgettable.

Orkhan is the best guide - You cannot go wrong with booking this or through Azerbaijan tours especially if you get Orkhan! Booked this tour last minute on a last minute trip to Baku. 100% exceeded expectations Not only was Orkhan extremely responsive, he reached out to be within minutes of booking via WhatsApp and through chatting I managed to have him arrange an airport to hotel transfer. Not only that, in chatting his goal was to get to know what I wanted to see and do and get out of the tour to best create an itinerary that met expectations. And he did not disappoint. Because I ended up being the only one and arrived late into Baku, he tailored the tour to start later in the morning to let me rest. It was a great tour of Baku, and he even squeezed in an extra stop upon my request and stayed with me till the end even after the tour technically ended. Further, he is a wealth of knowledge not oy about the history and culture but about current happenings in Azerbaijan and is very willing to discuss any topic or question you might have, he didn't Dodge the touchy ones!

Excellent tour, highly recommended. - If you are visiting Baku then this tour is a must. Our guide for the day was Orkhan, what an absolute star! He speaks perfect English and is very knowledgeable and passionate about his home city. We were picked up at our hotel at 10.00 as promised and visited all the major attractions including the Cultural Centre, Palace if the Shirvanshahs and Maiden Tower. We enjoyed lunch in a lovely traditional restaurant and Orkhan showed us places, such as the miniature book museum in the Old City, that we would never have found on our own. Actually, we enjoyed the day so much we booked the Gobustan Tour to visit the mud volcanoes and fire temple the following day! A very nice touch was for Orkhan to come meet us on our arrival at the airport and arrange our transfer to/from the hotel. This was reassuring for first time visitors to Baku. Thank you Orkhan.
