- Voyage281406937070 contributionsMesmerizing GabalaAmazing mystic views. Cable car ride was amazing. Our tour guide Mr Namig explained us all places and details of Baku's HistoryWritten 2 December 2024
- 416mohammadk0 contributionsAverageThe trip was good. I went with my wife for the first time and it was a good experience, but it could’ve been better. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable but he was speaking too fast and we weren’t understanding half of what he was saying. The scenes were good, very interesting landscapes. I’d recommend to visit these places but with a tour guide who can explain things better.Written 1 December 2024

- S9212OJbethr0 contributionsGreat Day Trip! (Even in the rain)Laila was a wonderful guide! Unfortunately, Pink Lake is terribly polluted. The Azerbaijani government needs to clean that up, if it's going to be a tourist attraction. The Candy Cane Mountains were gorgeous & really the main reason I booked this tour. That was my favorite part. The weather today wasn't cooperative, so the trip to the forest and Five Finger Mountains wasn't picturesque because of the rain and fog. But the highlight was having tea with the locals when we got to the top of the mountain! I really enjoyed my day, and I'd imagine that good weather would have made it that much better. I definitely would recommend the trip!Written 28 November 2024

A great way to see the flame towers, city view and design centre at night. The other sites listed are a speedy drive by, where you
may get a glimpse, but the main stops are well worth going for. I would recommend.

Pretty well arranged right from pick up to drop off. And the city highlights by nights too! Would have preferred some time for a quick street food bite. Guide was great and so was the driver. Superb Baku by night.

Excellent! We (group of 2 couples) had 3 separate private tours and each one was exceptional. After our first tour of Old City and night lights, we were impressed by our guide Vusal’s personality, so requested Vusal for the next 2 day trips and he, along with driver Elvin, took great care of us. They made stops whenever we wanted to take pictures or needed a pit stop, and took care of all our random requests along the way. The drive to Khinalug was a bit bumpy for short stretches, but the landscape along the way and the village itself were just awesome!! Highly recommend Tes Tours!

from the start of our trip we felt relaxed, Our tour guide, Aytan, was joyous in her dealings with us. She was knowledgeable and keen to share that knowledge with us.
The tour for me, was not that exciting but that is no fault of the guide or the company it merely means that I live in Baku I had family visiting hence the trip. You get to see the magic of the flame towers and the beauty of the city overlooking the Caspian Sea. It would have been nice to go to Crystal Palace and Flag Square but if you wanted to do that, then they would have happily added that to your viewing. Essentially while you were with a group, it felt personal and that is down to both the driver and Aytan. I am going to Gabala on Monday and have requested the same team, primarily because you feel comfortable with them. Thank you.

Baku's architectural marvels, lit up at night, gives a different perspective! Elchin was our guide and he's very knowledgeable about the history of Baku and Azerbaijan. We not only had a wonderful tour, but also learnt a lot about the history here, and had a great conversation with Elchin.

Dear Geraldine,
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear the tour didn't meet your expectations. Our itineraries include well-known attractions, and we believe they offer a rich experience. However, we understand your concerns. Due to F1 in Baku all the roads were limited, and it might affect our activity as well. We invite you to contact us directly to discuss the matter further.
Kind regards,

The communication regarding the hotel pickup time was incredibly poor. It wasn't conveyed to me until the day of the tour, and even then, it was changed at the last minute. It turned out that only one other person and I were part of this tour.
