Hello, the trip with the guide Laman was very beautiful and enjoyable. The tour was good, but the restaurant in Quba was expensive, and there was an additional service charge of approximately 5 manats on the bill. I don't know what service they provided, but the rest of the trip was excellent, and the guide's cooperation with us was very nice.
Laman is a very good tour guide. Very patient and approachable.
Laman is the best!!! She was the coolest guide ever. Her patience, kindness, and understanding made the whole experience unforgettable. She made everyone feel comfortable, and always went above and beyond to help. Truly one of the most friendly and amazing guides I’ve ever met. And the tour!!! Unforgettable!!! The thrill-seeking adventure on the Tufandag coaster plus the beautiful lavender fields made the whole trip feel magical. What a tour!!! Thanks, Laman, for the amazing experience and unforgettable memories.
We had a wonderful day. Our tour guide Laman is so amazing. She explained very well all the tourist destinations and make sure that all of us are having a great time. She is so sweet and she has a good potential of being successful tourguide in Baku. We will recommend her travel agency to our friends too. Kudos and good job Laman. We love you

Thanks to their care and professionalism, the trip was as comfortable as possible and left only the most pleasant experience. Thank you for your wonderful organization, warm attitude and unforgettable emotions! Be sure to recommend this tour to your friends and would love to go with you again! ❤️
Спасибо за такой теплый отзыв! Мы очень рады, что вам понравился тур. Будем рады видеть вас снова! ❤️
It was beautiful, especially with Ms. We had a lot of fun there going out there sightseeing as well as being able to Ms. Ayatan about the cities and country as a whole.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're happy you enjoyed the Gabala & Shamakhi tour with Ms. Ayatan. Hope to see you again!
We had a wonderful overall experience and would happily do this tour again. A special thank you goes to our tour guide, Mehebbet, who truly impressed us with his friendly and helpful nature. He took plenty of time for us, answered all of our questions, and never made us feel like we had to hurry. This allowed us to explore everything in a relaxed way and really enjoy the atmosphere. We also really appreciated how he shared interesting facts and little details that we probably would have missed otherwise. He was always patient and adjusted to our pace throughout the tour. I was traveling with my younger sister, and as two girls, we felt safe and well looked after at all times, which was very important to us. Our tip: definitely ask questions – he genuinely takes the time to explain everything clearly and in detail. We’re very grateful that he was our guide and would recommend this tour with him anytime!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review 😊 We’re truly happy that Mehebbet made you feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed throughout the tour. Your kind words mean a lot to us 🌷
We had a really great experience and can absolutely recommend this tour. We would especially like to highlight our tour guide, Mehebbet. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and accommodating. What we appreciated most was that he took his time to answer all of our questions in detail and never made us feel rushed. We were able to explore everything at our own pace and truly enjoy the places we visited – which makes a huge difference. Mehebbet also shared many interesting background details that you wouldn’t easily find elsewhere. At the same time, he was very relaxed and adapted well to our pace. I was traveling with my little sister, and as two girls, we felt very safe and well taken care of the entire time. That was really important to us and made the experience even more enjoyable. A small tip: take the opportunity to ask him questions – he really takes the time to explain everything clearly. I’m very grateful that he was our tour guide. The experience definitely wouldn’t have been the same without him!
Thank you for your beautiful review 😊 We’re delighted that Mehebbet helped make your experience special, comfortable, and memorable. We truly appreciate your recommendation 🌷
