Best team to explore hidden gems of Azerbaijan -10/10 - The trips with them has been very delightful. I have been part of several group tours. When I first moved to baku , their hiking tours gave me a opportunity of seeing all the places of azerbaijan , including the villages and the country sides ,moutains and forests , unseen waterfalls and snow mountains . They not only provided an oppurtunity to travel but also chance to meet and interact with like miinded people. They provided very cost effective trips and reasonable prices , which attracted the local crowd and foreigners equally well. The tour organisers spoke english quite well and had great organising skills. Over the years I have seen them improving the quality of tours. The travel insurances and the payments and pre-bookings facilities had improved. The one who runs the organisation , puts her heart in to making the travels and trips more satisfactory , and tries the best to get the most out of the trip for her clients , in terms of exploring and giving oppurtunity to interact with the local crowd. The owner herself had been a traveller and which is why they value the experiences and tries to deliver the same . Well organised , punctual , payments are clean, notifications are made promplty. Happy with their trips .
