This is a long overdue review. We went last year and Amir was very helpful. He picked us up and brought us to the hotel and gave us tips on where to go in Baku. The guide/driver he assigned to us, Vlad, was also great and knowledgeable about the places we went to. It was a long drive to Khinaliq, but in the end, it was worth it. We had lunch at one of the local's houses, very good food and authentic experience.

The soaring Caucasus Mountains separate Europe from Asia, and the South Caucasus countries are on that borderline.  Inhabitants of Azerbaijan burned crude oil in their lamps before anyone knew what it was.  Beautiful, rocky Armenia was the first country to adopt Christianity as its official religion.  And Georgia, acclaimed for its fabulous food and drink, claims to be the first area to cultivate the wine grape. These countries are distinguished by their distinct histories, traditions, cultures and natural surroundings

Firstly credit where it’s due - value for money on our tour of the Southern Caucuses was pretty good as it was half board. The downside of that was that we never got to choose any of our own food and, although there was a variety of dishes served, it’s not the same as having a free choice. Secondly, the tour started each morning right after breakfast, went on all day and finished by going straight to dinner in the evening. This meant no free time at all which isn’t good when you’re visiting foreign countries. Finally, all of our tour group wanted to visit a bazaar one day, rather than yet another church. However, we were told that we weren’t allowed to. We didn’t appreciate being treated like children since all the group were between late 30s and late 70s.

We went on two day trips with Rufat. One to Gobustan and Ateshgah and another to the rainbow mountains with a hike to the top of beybeyim dagi. The guide was very good at customizing both trips to our wishes and hiking level. We had a great time both days and I can highly recommend using this company for guide service both in and outside of Baku. Rufat was very friendly, fun to have around, had great language skills and knew a lot about history and nature.

Hoping to see other places too in Azerbaijan in the near future. Thank you Best Baku Tours Team!!

Me and my friend have been hiking all over the first peak of Aragats mountain last October. This was such a gorgeous hike, the weather was so clear that we could observe both Ararat mount and the Caucasian chain of mountains. There was no specific difficulties to reach the first top peak. and I highly recommend this specific tour as the guide was perfect as well as the organization. There was no rush and we really could enjoy the view for more than an hour once we climbed on the top. This is a must see in Armenia.
