My first visito the beautiful country of Azerbaijan.
I want to tell about my experience in my trip to Azerbaijan, which is the first time I am in this nice country. The tours that I took, where really excellent and the profesionalism of my guide Tahir and his brother Arif was really an excellent experience in a private tour. Tahir has the most enjoyable patience to explaine all what we visited with detail. Being my first time to this beautiful country, exotic for us comming from Costa Rica, at the other side of the world, this was an excellent oportunity to have the best tour with very profesional and lovely people.

Best tour guide, Tahir
We were 5 in the group, we were provided with a very comfortable car, the drive was lovely and thanks to Tahir our guide, he was explaining the city while we were traveling. He is extremely aware of the history, explains it really well. He is always smiling and very calm, we fell in love with Baku and a lot of it is to do with how Tahir made it so comfortable for us ♥️♥️♥️
