Very Satisfied with the service provided by this company and his tour guide, Worth for the Money. - I had an amazing experience with Azerbaijan Travel International! From start to finish, everything was well-organized, professional, and enjoyable. The team was incredibly helpful and made sure we felt comfortable and welcomed throughout the journey. A special shoutout to our tour guide Ismail – such a genuinely kind and knowledgeable person! He went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time. His passion for sharing the culture and history of Azerbaijan really stood out, and his friendly nature made the whole trip feel like traveling with a good friend. Truly a nice soul! I highly recommend Azerbaijan Travel International to anyone planning to visit this beautiful country. Whether you’re going solo, as a couple, or with a group of friends, they’ll take great care of you. I’ll definitely be telling all my friends about this fantastic experience!

Escape the hustle and bustle of Baku - I had a fantastic day with our amazing guide Nuray! Although it was a long day, I enjoyed the whole thing, getting to see a part of Azerbaijan away from Baku was pretty special and the knowledge Nuray has of her country is very impressive. Would absolutely recommend to anyone with a day to spare while visiting Baku

Gabala, Absheron, Gobustan. Guide Emilia. - We took two tours with guide Emilia (we were lucky!): Gabala/Absheron and Gobustan. Organization at the highest level: perfect timing by location. The guide’s submission is easy and engaging.Even on the road between locations it was not boring, they learned a lot from the history and present of Azerbaijan. If you are lucky enough to get to Emilia, the trip is guaranteed to be memorable and impressive. Thanks again for the good spirits! The locations themselves are notable not only for their natural beauty, but also for their very interesting historical and anthropological context!

Long trip, lots of time in bus - The journey began earlier that originally planned as we were asked to meet at 7:30 instead of 8am. Most of the trip was spent in the bus which had no AC for much of the time so was very hot. Times at locations were limited due to the packed day. We were asked the the beginning if we wanted lunch and to go on the cable car but were not told what else was available at the mountain site eg the buggy vehicle rides which we would have preferred. The lake was packed with tourists and looked nothing like the images we had seen. Our guide Nas tried the keep the long journeys entertaining with information about Azerbaijan and often reminded us about time and that keeping to it was respectful. The full trip was 14hours plus.

Disappointed with Viator - The guide Seyid was good.Throughout he explained about the country.But I am very unhappy with the wrong information provided in the Itinerary.It was mentioned that the trip is from 8am to 8 pm.But Seyid said we will reach Baku at 10pm ...it was not his fault.He was also surprised when I mentioned the timings.Finally we reached at 10.25 pm.This is not expected from Viator.We always patronise Viator for our International trips.Hence forth not going to rely on Viator.The trip per se was nothing great only highlight was the Tufandang Cable Car ride.The other sites are nothing to talk about.
