I'll be brief:
Zaur is a professional, an expert on history in general and Azerbaijan in particular, with a very beautiful and competent speech, fascinating stories and a good mood. Thank you very much!
The organization of the tour is excellent, we saw everything that was planned, and even more. Everything is clear and on time, and even the New Year's traffic jams in Baku did not bother us.
Azerbaijan has a lot of interesting and diverse things - unusual nature, sights, history, and cuisine.
The tour is great, I recommend it!

I am writing in hot pursuit - we returned from Azerbaijan today. We traveled with the NarminTour travel agency. We were very satisfied with the trip. Wonderful organization of the whole tour, excellent guides, comfortable transport, cozy hotels with excellent location. We had the Silk Road program, we saw not only Baku, but also went to Shamakhi-Lagich-Sheki for two days. A very eventful trip, historical objects with ancient history, the beauty of the autumn mountains, national cuisine, I liked everything. Special thanks to our guide on this trip, Isa. A wonderful guide, a very sincere person, an excellent driver. We recommend sightseeing tours to Azerbaijan with Narmin Tour to everyone. Elena.

Have a good trip to tourists! We, two pensioners from St. Petersburg, chose the tour "Paris in the Caucasus" 5d /4h. The peculiarity of the tour: it can be organized on any day with the number of tourists from two people. We chose Utair airline, with a convenient departure and arrival time: from St. Petersburg on Thursday, flight UT - 731, back on Monday, flight UT - 732. After 4 hours and 20 minutes we arrived in Baku, where we were met by a representative of the tour operator and taken to the hotel. We couldn't provide that the tour would be organized just for the two of us. Throughout the program, Javid, the guide, was with us all the days, who patiently and carefully showed us Baku and the objects according to the tour program in his car. Javid, who speaks Russian well (a graduate of St. Petersburg Polytechnic University), erudite, attentive, has become a native for us these days and we sadly said goodbye to him when he took us to Baku airport. Sincere thanks to him for the warm welcome, thanks to him we took a piece of Baku to our Petersburg. We are grateful and grateful to Narmln Tour for the excellent organization of the tour. We recommend it. Alexey, Iraida. October 2024

From 10/29/2024 to 10/31/2024, we traveled with guide Emin and driver Mahmud along the Baku - Shamakhi - Sheki - Ganja - Lake Goygol - Baku route.
I would like to note the high professionalism of both the guide and the driver.
Emin speaks excellent Russian and English (Azerbaijani is at a high level by default). He knows the history of his country well, as well as world history and even the history of Russia. He knows a lot of interesting facts. The tour was conducted optimally according to time and schedule. Even a small force majeure was resolved calmly and clearly.
We saw and learned everything that was planned and even beyond that. A pleasant bonus at the end of the trip was a visit to the zoo and the purchase of gorgeous, simply huge pomegranates, which you will not find even in Baku during the day with fire.

We were on the "New Year's Azerbaijan - Where East meets West" tour from December 29 to January 5, 2025, and we really enjoyed it! Everything was just great! The guide Zaur is wonderful: very educated, literate, well-read, with excellent speech, talked a lot and interestingly, gave a lot of interesting and useful information. He is also a very pleasant person with a great sense of humor. And I would also like to mention his excellent human qualities: throughout the trip, Zaur was very attentive to all members of our group, tried to take care of everyone, and this is very valuable! After all, no matter how interesting the route is, the atmosphere, and hence the success of the tour as a whole, largely depends on the guide, and Zaur is perfectly able to create it! And, of course, one cannot but mention another important person on whom an important part of the tour depends, namely: safety and comfort, this is our driver Ali. In his reliable hands, we felt safe in the city, in the mountains, and on the highway!
The tour program is very rich, we were able to see a lot of things. It is very good that we combined Baku with ancient cities, it was very interesting and informative!
And Baku itself is amazing, such a beautiful city, clean, green, very cozy! And what hospitable and friendly people surrounded us, from service sector workers to ordinary citizens!
And how right it is that we chose our Sapphire Bayil hotel, it is simply magical, decorated in the style of the houses of Azerbaijani oil barons of the 19th century!
We say a huge thank you to Azerbaijan, and we highly recommend that you go on this fascinating journey with Narmin Tour, and we are sure that you will also have the warmest feelings from this country and its people!

I want to share my impressions of the trip to Baku with the Paris in the Caucasus program. I liked everything - the manager's prompt and detailed answers when choosing a tour, taking into account wishes when choosing a hotel, transfers, the program itself. The city made a very good impression - it was beautiful, clean, friendly and very tasty, the suburban trains were very impressed. And, of course, special thanks to our wonderful guide Zaur, who interestingly provided the information necessary for the program, answered any questions, solved our problems, and gave good advice. I definitely recommend the Narmin Tour and the Zaur guide. Thanks!

I traveled on the tour "Azerbaijan on the edge of Europe" from 05/18/24-05/26/24.
I am delighted with Baku, a very beautiful, interesting and friendly city! The embankment is just a delight! Wonderful people are ready to help with any issue. Excellent guides Zaur, Isa, Ruslan conduct excellent excursions. Thank them very much!
I specially took a 9-day tour to get to know the country better. Nature - from the desert to the mountains covered with forests, the sea)! It is a very interesting country from the historical side . There are many beautiful monuments of antiquity. The mountains conquered me, such a vastness and pristine nature is very valuable nowadays! There are no problems with transfer, hotel, food, exchange, moving around the city, visiting the theater, museums. I recommend everyone to get acquainted with sunny Azerbaijan! I had a dream and it came true! I wish you all a wonderful trip to this wonderful country!

A great trip!
Good hotels, interesting places.
Azerbaijan is very warm and friendly. The people are wonderful and hospitable.
We met 2024 there and are very happy about it)
We were very lucky to have a guide.
Zaur is a real guide, enthusiastic and sympathetic, not a single request from any guest from our group was ignored.
He told us very qualitatively and interestingly about the country, traditions, and places that we visited.
There is an ancient caravanserai of the Great Silk Road still functioning in Azerbaijan, a fire burning directly from the ground, an ancient Zoroastrian temple, rock carvings, mud volcanoes, mountain lakes, lots and lots of sun and beauty and good people!

Our wonderful 8-day tour of Azerbaijan has ended today. We saw a beautiful country, wonderful people, amazing nature and tasted delicious national cuisine. We had two guides as guides to history: Zaur and Isa. Both speak excellent Russian and know the history of their state brilliantly.
We were met at the airport and, despite the late (or early check-in at 2 a.m.), we were accommodated at the hotel.
Zaur helped all the guests to solve their questions and problems. And his knowledge allowed us to see the country, its history, architecture, hear legends and the truth about famous people living on this earth. Zaur showed us the beautiful Baku.
Isa was our guide and guide on trips to interesting places in Azerbaijan. It was bright, delicious and fun with him. Interesting stories on the journey were replaced by friendly gatherings with the whole group and acquaintance with different traditions and dishes.
Many thanks to our drivers. Especially Emin. With oriental equanimity, he solved the difficulties that arose on the road.
The hotels and accommodation rooms were lovely. Our group is happy with everything!!😍😍😍😍👍

If you came to Azerbaijan from a drug tour, then you are lucky! And if you are in a group with Saurus, then you are doubly lucky. You will be protected as the most expensive guest, and everything will be shown and told with awe and respect. Zaur is a very kind, attentive, cheerful and infinitely patient guide. And Ali's driver carefully and carefully drove us all over Azerbaijan. And this is very important, taking into account the peculiarities of local driving) All the information on the tour was very interesting, and the presentation was light and unobtrusive (New Year's Azerbaijan tour, where East meets West). I learned a lot of new things for myself. I definitely recommend it.

I went to Baku for the first time, I was absolutely delighted! Architecture, history, nature - everything is incredibly beautiful, I want to come back again and again. Most of all, I was impressed by the Old Town with endless cozy streets where you can walk for hours. Thanks a lot to the guides, each of whom told incredibly interesting stories, it was felt that the guides not only love their work, but their city and country, and are also very responsive and friendly to their guests! Thank you very much! Everything is organized super-professionally, with an individual approach to each guest!

Separately, I would like to note the professionalism of Isa and Javid.
These people really love their work and introduce Azerbaijan in such a way that it is impossible not to fall in love with it.
The "Baku holidays" will forever remain in my heart and memory.

Azerbaijan Land of Lights tour, from January 11 to January 18, 2025 Overall satisfactory, no higher. A three-star hotel in Baku - the window in the room did not close (the lever was broken), the shower switch did not work in the bathtub, the sink faucet did not function at all, the refrigerator outlet did not work. The tour program was not fully completed - we did not visit two museums according to the program, we did not visit Lagic. The guide Zaur drove us through the tourist sites very quickly, in a hurry to finish the program and get home as quickly as possible, he hardly told us in the car, answered the questions "get off". In the middle of the trip to Gobustan, we went to Baku to take him home on business, then returned after spending an hour and a half in traffic jams to continue the tour and see mud volcanoes. He didn't give us time for lunch and didn't bother about it. On this tour, only the driver Natick deserves the highest rating- driving is top class, polite, helped carry things, escorted to the hotel (unlike the guide, who was brought home first). Of all the similar tours I've been on, this is the worst. I will not recommend it to my friends and acquaintances.

From September 18 to 22, 2024. We traveled on the Sea, Tea and Tangerines tour, and then stayed in Baku for another three days on our own initiative. We are 83 and 85 years old and, of course, at this age it is already a little scary to go somewhere. But the Narmin Tour company surrounded us with such warmth and comfort that all fears quickly disappeared. Qualified guides showed us Lenkoran, Astara and Baku. We would especially like to note the friendliness of the Azerbaijanis, besides many people communicate freely in Russian. In general, we are happy with the trip and, if the opportunity presents itself, we will go to this country again.

We drank wine, ate delicious food and laughed a lot. This is how we can briefly describe our trip to Azerbaijan. I was driving without a clear picture of what was waiting for me. The eastern country of strict Muslim rules, four wives, burqas, prohibition, the desert around - these were my vague expectations. And you know, I'm outraged to the limit why no one was telling the truth. Georgia and Uzbekistan are very well connected, and absolutely everyone is silent about Azerbaijan, where there is such a huge potential. Baku got into the very heart with the first breath of hot, humid air. The chic architecture is something between St. Petersburg, Paris, Istanbul and, in places, Sochi is also similar. The cleanest streets, secular, open, beautiful people, safe, not scary, no one pulls hands like in Turkey and does not sell anything, does not whistle after (I do not know why I thought it would be like this), people are proud, modest, hospitable, well-mannered. A real cultural capital. Representatives of the older generation ask questions, say they love us, say they miss the Soviet Union, say "welcome". I've never seen anything like it, really. This is about general impressions. I will return many times, because I still have to explore and explore the country.
The tour was a classic one, an overview of Baku and the surrounding area, as well as visits to all cities/locations in the regions - all in accordance with the description. The distances are considerable, but the color is there. Otherwise, after Baku, it seems that oil is being scooped with spoons and the whole country is in skyscrapers and lights. However, in Azerbaijan there are several climatic zones and the semi-desert is replaced by almost alpine landscapes, mountain lakes, snow-capped peaks. One thing remains unchanged: amazing people. I was imbued with great respect, reverence, and interest in the nation, the people, and the country. Of course, everywhere is not without its social problems, but what is the cleanliness of the streets, the absence of beggars, homeless people, drunks, ruined migrants, which now fills all more or less large cities. Only there are a lot of puny cats - take food with you for a walk around the old town. There are no rats, cats are starving, begging for pens))
The selection of hotels is also excellent, the very center, everything is beautiful and the cuisine deserves a standing ovation!
I would like to express my special gratitude to our guides Zaur and Isa. Zaur bey, everything is clear, care and participation are on top. He helped with the SIM cards, suggested where to eat inexpensively and tasty, took me to the exchanger, was always in touch. There were no problems with the transfer and the extension of the night, there is an individual approach in such a difficult matter as tourism. Comprehensive information on the history of the excursions. Isa accompanied us on our journey. Not just a guide / tour guide, but rather a guide, a pearl, a good friend who came to visit. Isa, you brought our little company together so much, you showed us such interesting places and told us, in addition to what was stated in the program and even outside the tour. And even the cafes along the way seemed to be visits to long-time relatives, rather than just places for lunch. Zaur, you can add a beach day for the author's highlight - we were lucky, after the end of the tour, Isa offered us to celebrate my birthday on the beach, and it was a great decision, you know, classics are classics, guided tours, but it is the life of local residents, everyday life, leisure that is known just in non-tourist places for locals. I know how expensive it is for morale to make friends with guests, but it was as if it was impossible to imagine another guide and another approach in Azerbaijan. Although, of course, such cordiality is Isa's initiative, and not the regulations of the tour operator. So take care of him, he is definitely the highlight of your tours! Everything went very easily, Azerbaijan exceeded all expectations, Isa and Zaur - I am waiting for you to visit St. Petersburg now on my excursions! Thank you again very much for the creativity and soul that you put into your work, your country has sunk deep into my soul and I am in love!

Many thanks to Zaur for the excellent organization of the tour on May 27-31, 2024, everything was clear by the hour from the moment of arrival in Baku to departure. Thanks to the guide Isa for his kindness and humor, attentiveness to our every request and answers to all questions, starting from which bank to change money, and ending with where and what to buy as a gift. I travel a lot and it was one of the best trips I've ever had! Thanks to you, I learned that this country is so beautiful and so interesting, and the earth is so rich in natural wonders😍 I remember Baku with warmth, and now the word "Azerbaijan" has ceased to be an empty sound for me and resonates in my heart. I wish you prosperity!!!

Narmin Tour professionally organizes holidays in Baku. I really liked the afternoon Baku with Natik. We visited all the possible sights of Baku and learned about many traditions. I was also pleasantly impressed by an excursion to the temple of fire with Zaur and a visit to Yanardag. Zaur also conducted a tour of Baku in the evening and introduced us to interesting views. The excursion to Gobustan with Gunel was also interesting. Gunel is young, but she conducted the tour very professionally and told about rock paintings and mud volcanoes. We were in Baku from April 2 to April 6 and we dream of coming again.

We were traveling from the Travel Store on a tour of Azerbaijan about crafts. Everything went well. There aren't many tourists yet, but they don't refuse anyone, they don't change dates, they don't try to unite different groups. In fact, we had almost individual service: except for a sightseeing tour of Baku, we went everywhere without other tourists. The organization of the tour is good, we were not lost anywhere. Only apparently all issues are resolved at the moment, because they usually wrote about where and what time we should be in the morning late the night before. All the guides and almost all the drivers speak Russian well, there were no problems. It is better to choose a hotel with at least 4 stars.
The driver Parviz drove us most often. Very friendly and friendly.
There were several guided tours with Ruslan. He is still a student, and one day between morning and evening excursions he even had to go to classes. On the sightseeing tour, he did not have enough experience communicating with the older generation, I recommend watching the film "The Diamond Hand", because they will ask about it many more times)) Another day he took us to different fortresses, to the burning mountain, to the evening boulevard, and everything went fine. In general, he is very diligent, attentive and responsible. I wish you success in fulfilling all his plans.
Gunel took us to the carpet museum. Everything went great too, I told you in great detail about the history and technology of hand-made carpets.
There was also a great excursion with Javid to the Gala fortress, where we were happy to try several crafts in practice: carpet weaving (difficult), baking pita bread (easy and you can eat it right away), ceramics (also difficult, because the potter's wheel is not automatic) and metal forging (not difficult, because it's make-believe). And there are also animals that can be petted. The guide told us about everything in great detail, answered our questions, took photos and videos.
Unfortunately, I don't remember the names of the other employees, but everyone was very polite, punctual and friendly.

We have been on the "Let's escape to Baku" tour since May 17, 24. For two days, Sugra, a charming woman, an interesting storyteller, and a sincere person, was our guide. It was very pleasant to wander with her through the streets of the most beautiful Baku, listen to exciting stories and legends, touch ancient stones, look into long-gone faces.... Thank her very much. Thanks to the silent but friendly drivers. Special thanks to Ruslan, a young, but very interesting and sincere guide, who leads us through the evening Baku. He managed to competently, subtly and in Russian immerse us in the magical, fabulous atmosphere of our beloved city, opened its lights, music, fun, colors, smells to us... We wish that everything worked out for him in life. Marina and Tatiana. Russia

The tour "Azerbaijan-the crossroads of cultures". A great trip. Thanks to our guide Isa, we got acquainted with various regions of the country, with its nature, with the traditions and customs of the people who inhabit it. Special thanks for the opportunity to taste dishes of national cuisine typical of a particular region. Isu is distinguished by fluency in the Russian language, erudition, benevolence and punctuality. The hotels along the route are located in the city center, within walking distance of many attractions. One of the disadvantages is the extremely monotonous food at the Saffron Boutique Hotel.

Good day to all travel lovers! I've only been back from a trip to Baku for a few days, but I'm still impressed. The tour was called the "Caucasian Paris of Azerbaijan" - a slightly pretentious name. In fact, I would not compare Baku with the capital of France, as it is quite a self-sufficient city. The host party was the company "Narmin Tour" and its wonderful, professional, pleasant guides Nargiz, Isa and Javid. Unfortunately, it was not possible to visit the Mud Volcanoes, as access to them was temporarily closed, but all other points of the program were fulfilled. A beautiful city, it mixes different architectural styles, looks unusual.
There is a reason to visit Azerbaijan once again to see what it was not possible to see and get to know new places.

Excellent tour company Narmin Tour. Special thanks to Zaur, who is very attentive to tourists. Another special thanks to the guide Ramiz for the fun and interesting excursions. Unfortunately, not all guides are like that. Azerbaijan pleasantly impressed with its hospitality, beauty, and delicious food.
For the five, there was not enough hotel that would correspond to 4 arrivals: for four days they never cleaned, the breakfasts were primitive. You won't starve to death, but it doesn't taste good. It was the Madinah Hotel.
But it doesn't matter if you come to Azerbaijan with a good mood and be surprised. Thank you so much for that!

Visiting Baku spontaneously in the evening, we decided that we wanted to go on an excursion to Gobustan and Absheron. There were a lot of advertisements for excursions in the Old Town. They called me. The prices were different, an advance payment was needed. Which is scary nowadays. We found the company Narmin Tour on the Internet. There were 20 minutes left before closing time. They called. Everything was clearly explained to us how the tour would take place. We asked for one guide after reading the reviews. But he was busy. And they gave us Ramiz, promising that we would not regret it. The manager also got in touch late at night, deciding our day tomorrow. And it really is! All the way to Gobustan, he told us about Azerbaijan and Baku. We got on the road closures because of the president's motorcade. He was very worried that it had disrupted our plans. I made adjustments. He didn't stop telling me something. And on the way to Absheron, he did not stop talking for a minute. We learned a lot about the customs of Azerbaijan. Very well-read. We have learned a lot of interesting facts. I recommended a restaurant where it is delicious to eat. Special thanks for that! (Fisijan Restaurant) We recommend Ramiz as a guide and as an agency in general. The car was comfortable and clean. The driver drove carefully. Thank you for a great day! And the price was cheaper than we were offered! Which also pleased me

I had a tour of Azerbaijan scheduled from June 18 to 24. The program, which is designed for 9 days, I completed in 7. How did it all start? Of course, from the airport, where Anar met us. At first glance, it seemed to me that he was a very strict, almost non-talkative person. And the first impression of the tour did not seem at all rosy. I had to communicate with Anar the most during the tour. I got an individual tour, and so did the driver and the car. In fact, he is a punctual, polite, sincere person. Sometimes it seemed to me that he was not a car driver, but a guide, as he always told me how it would be more convenient to plot a route. In fact, his radiant smile changed the first impression of him. Of course, we need to talk about Zaur, a man who has created a cohesive professional team of like-minded people. Zaur is a literate, well-read guide who knows the history of his country. The entire work of the team he leads depends on his actions. It was possible to get the right answer to any question from him. And the team is a match for him. Sugra is a beauty, a clever woman who knows how to properly interest a tourist, how to present information. I had all the excursions with her. In the evening, I realized that I was saying goodbye to the guide, whom I have known for many years. Isa is a charming, musically educated guide, whose time flew by like a flash. After the sightseeing tour, I fell in love with Baku. No other country has received such attention from this close-knit team. Every day, the guys were in touch with me, asking, giving advice, even regardless of the fact that they had not worked with me anymore. It so happened that almost all the excursions turned out to be individual for me. Sugra, Zaur, Isa, Anar have left a piece of Baku warmth and hospitality in my soul. U Yu. Vizbor has wonderful lines from the song: "Giving a piece of your heart to someone is such a job, brother." I know for sure that this can be attributed to this team. By the end of the tour, I realized that there are people in Azerbaijan who are very close to me, whom I have known for many years. When I was climbing up the plane, I promised myself that I would definitely return to Azerbaijan. Thank you very much for the care, comfort and attention with which you surround tourists. Bravo, guys, to you! Prosperity to the travel agency. See you soon. Take care of yourself and your loved ones.

We took a luxury tour from this company, but in an individual version. We got a very wonderful guide - Isa. He organized our tour in such a way that we had one more extra day and got additional pleasure by spending a day in the mountains near Khinalyg. Firstly, I recommend the company, I fulfilled everything stated in full accordance with the application, and secondly, I recommend the Isu guide. Attentive, punctual, not boring, flexible to whims, with humor, and how he sings (ah-ah)
Our vacation was a success. Azerbaijan is cool!

My 9-day trip to Azerbaijan has recently ended - more precisely, a 9-day oriental fairy tale, a Caucasian fairy tale, an Azerbaijani fairy tale... It was a tour of the "Grand Tour of Azerbaijan" Baku - Icherisheher (old Baku) – Ateshgah (Zoroastrian temple) – Yanardag ("fiery" mountain) – Gobustan (archaeological reserve with rock carvings); Shamakhi – Lagich (village of artisans) – Sheki – Kish (the oldest Christian temple in the Caucasus) – Ganja – Geigel Lake; Khizi ("caramel" mountains) – Beshbarmag – Guba – Khinalyg (high mountain village).
The sending organization was the Turtrans Voyage company - as always, everything was executed clearly and reliably, we, its customers, have already become accustomed to this.
The company Narmin Tour became the host organization. Everything was clear: they were met at the airport, settled in a hotel, picked up by car from the hotel every morning for day trips, made field trips (for 3 and 2 days). But the main thing that was very pleasantly surprised!, the company is working very constructively. Travel takes place at any time of the year - and you can fulfill your aspirations as soon as you have free time and financial opportunity. The company focuses on any temporary possibilities of tourists: there are 4 days - a trip was made for these days; there are 7 days - an extended trip for this time; there are 9 days - another wonderful 2-day trip was added... Moreover, the company Narmin Tour is ready to organize a trip for any number of guests, which is absolutely amazing and wonderful! My case: we started the trip as part of 4 tourists; after 4 days we continued as part of 3 tourists; the last 2-day trip (Khizi - Beshbarmag - Guba - Khinalyg) was fully organized only for me! It is VERY CONVENIENT and causes DEEP GRATITUDE!
But the main thing is the people, the representatives of the company Narmin Tour! First of all, this is a wonderful Zaur guide. Firstly, he is a very friendly person: they look for their own approach to each tourist, they support everyone (it is clear that tourists have different physical fitness and mood, Zaur has a positive attitude). Secondly, Zaur is a very professional organizing guide: this is not only a clear and complete execution of the program, but also tips on the best restaurants, souvenir shops and Azerbaijani sweets, prospects for free time, etc. But the most important thing is the third! Zaur not only knows the country perfectly well, both historically and in modern terms. He approaches his ministry very creatively: he owns not only literature on the problems of excursions, but also works with SOURCES, which is an amazing and very valuable feature for a guide! For example, the topic of Caucasian Albania is very interesting and obviously insufficiently studied - Zaur helped a lot to fill in the understanding of this topic! Nizami, who occupies an important place in the global literary and philosophical tradition, is also the subject of Zaur's reflections, which he shares with tourists ...
If you get Zaur as a guide, you are guaranteed a wonderful, eventful, interesting journey and immersion in the history and modernity of Azerbaijan!!!
It is impossible not to mention the excellent work of the drivers of the company Narmin Tour - Zakir and Natik. They are not only high professionals, but MASTERS of their craft! The roads in the mountains of the Lesser and Greater Caucasus are VERY DIFFICULT! - they carried out their business firmly and reliably. Thank them so much!!!
We are really looking forward to new routes from the company Narmin Tour. "As soon as possible, so immediately." In the sense that as soon as there are new routes, we focus on these tours as soon as possible!

Upon returning from a trip to Baku, I would like to express my gratitude to the company Narmin Tour for the opportunity to get acquainted with the most beautiful city of Baku and the nearest sights within a short time (3 days). A rich and interesting program, wonderful weather and the most positive erudite caring guide Zaur made the trip unforgettable. Comprehensive answers were given to all the questions, we learned a lot of new and interesting things. Zaur's advice helped in many situations: where to taste national dishes, which souvenirs and goodies are better to buy, where to exchange money, how to get to the theater and much more, which is very valuable for not the most advanced tourists. We are happy to recommend to our friends the company and the clever guide Zaur. I would like to come back and continue my acquaintance with Azerbaijan and its friendly, open people.

She visited Azerbaijan from December 14 to December 21 as part of the Azerbaijan - Crossroads of Cultures program.
I was very, very pleased!
Many thanks to Narmin Tour!
It so happened that I was the only one in this program. And despite this, they gave me maximum attention. I had a wonderful private tour!
I liked everything! And hotel accommodation, and national dishes, and nature, and the most beautiful places in Baku and the districts!
The guides Zaur and Isa are great! They did not limit themselves to the excursion program. They answered all kinds of questions. They told me what to buy and where to eat, where to eat deliciously, and what to see. We've been in touch all the time. It was pleasant and emotional to be with them. Special thanks to Isa, with whom I visited three districts. He is very kind, attentive and caring!
I will advise all my friends to visit Azerbaijan only with this travel agency!
And in general, the people of Azerbaijan are very hospitable and friendly. There were no problems with anything. I got a lot of pleasant impressions and positive emotions!

Good day to everyone! We would like to thank the travel company Normin Tour for the excellent program "Azerbaijan is where East meets West". It was a great journey that will forever remain in our memory! Sunny and beautiful Azerbaijan, the country you want to return to again! We would like to say a special thank you to the guide Zaur, who was with us for 6 days. A very erudite, respectable and wonderful person who knows his business and takes into account all our needs and desires. And I would also like to thank the driver Natik, who was always punctual, polite and qualified driver throughout the entire route. A very interesting excursion to the "Gobustan Rock Art Reserve" was conducted by Javid, a professional guide and a very educated person. And finally, we chose an additional excursion to the Khizin Mountains (red Mountains), where Isa was the guide, who was both a guide and a driver in one person. A very positive and pleasant young man. We were happy to meet the team of Narmin Tour and sincerely wish everyone well and prosperity! 🙏♥️🙏 We recommend it to everyone !!!

We had an 8-day tour "From East to West".. The overall impression of the tour is only positive. During the tour, we were served by 2 guides / Nargiz and Isa/. Excellent Russian , if there were problems with the language , they were quickly solved .Very convenient location of the Maestro hotel near the old town. The hotel staff spoke Russian / which is important/ and there was a wonderful brewed azerchai around the clock. With the guide Nargiz, we spent 3 days watching day and night Baku, burning mountain and much more - well, it was very informative.Further with the guide ISA / he is also a driver in a very clean car/ We had a great time. As part of the tour, half of Azerbaijan traveled in 4 days. It was FIRE!!!!!. Driving, historical information, delicious national food, baklava at home, currency exchange, everything was great! ISA the hammer!!!!

We traveled to Azerbaijan during the January holidays. We wandered around the old town with an excursion, went to Lenkoran and Astra. I especially remember visiting the tangerine garden of an ordinary resident of Astara, Elshad, who was very hospitable, treated me to fruits from his garden and gave me delicious tea. Many thanks to the guide Irina for the wonderful organization of the trip, interesting information about all the sights visited!

Our trip to Azerbaijan lasted a whole week. The trip was booked through the Narmin Tour. Isa was our guide throughout the tour.
Azerbaijan was my 45th country and one of the brightest impressions thanks to Isa. From him we received the necessary information about the history, customs, culture of the country, and most importantly – about the traditions and foundations of Azerbaijanis at the present time – this is what tourists are most interested in.
It was very important to feel safe and protected, which we felt with Isa. Complete mutual understanding, harmony and tranquility throughout the trip!
And you will also find out that Isa is a great singer!! Be sure to ask him to sing!!!
All my friends, colleagues and just subscribers followed our journey on social networks and admired the richness, variety and warmth of photo and video reports!

My dream has come true🤩I saw Azerbaijan in all its glory. Thanks to the company Narmin Tour for the good organization of the tour: "Azerbaijan is where East meets West." In all the cities where we have been, there are very good hotels (the location is great) and polite staff. Many thanks to the charismatic, erudite, intelligent and cheerful guide Zaur. Throughout the tour, Zaur was our "mom-dad". He took into account all our wishes. I was constantly in touch. Special thanks for climbing up the hill to the fortress. It was fantastic. Zaur not only told us the history of Azerbaijan, but also initiated us into the customs of this country. He introduced us to the cuisine of Azerbaijan from different regions. We had lunch in family cafes. It was very tasty. I would also like to mention the drivers:Natika and Gosha, who accompanied us on the tour. I will recommend the tour to my friends. I will definitely come again🤩

For the first time I visited abroad, in the country of Azerbaijan together with the company Narmin Tour. To be honest, my first flight and journey were very exciting. But I didn't regret the time, effort, or money I spent.
I saw a completely different world with noisy streets, friendly and good-natured people, rich shopping malls, majestic old buildings, fascinating museums and unique landscapes! Azerbaijan turned out to be a friendly and very warm country with a very distinctive and unique landscape for me. I advise everyone to fly here, to Baku, and see everything with their own eyes!
I would like to express my special gratitude to the excellent guide and accompanying Zaur. He met us at the airport, accompanied us during the entire trip. He never took us to any bad or substandard places, and also always tried to fulfill our wishes in the best possible way. We sincerely thank him for such hospitality and understanding!
Have a wonderful holiday to everyone!

For a week I traveled through an amazing, wonderful country, unique in its natural phenomena, rich in its culture and traditions, as well as its cuisine, which will undoubtedly satisfy even the most fastidious gourmet.
Azerbaijan combines the incongruous: rock art with ornate palaces of oil kings, a Zoroastrian temple with a cultural center from Zaha Hadid, chic restaurants with magnificent interiors with simple roadside cafes (but no less delicious from this), dynamic modern life with traditional Oriental values.
Azerbaijanis are very hospitable, a warm welcome will be provided in any home. If you go into the courtyard, you will certainly be invited to enter and treated to tea with sweets. And so the locals let strangers into the house quite easily!
I envy those who have not been to Baku yet! Whether it's the city of lights or the city of winds, but it's fascinating, delicious, bright and always mysterious! It is not necessary to talk about all the sights in Baku, I'm afraid a couple of hours will not be enough to simply reread them. I'll tell you what surprised you.
In Baku, I was struck by the underground passages. Many of them are beautifully decorated with bas-reliefs and lined with marble. Magnificent museums in this city, which, of course, should be visited. We managed to visit three (the Azerbaijan National Museum of Art, the National Museum of the History of Azerbaijan, the Carpet Museum). We were very lucky with guides in each of these museums. I didn't expect that everyone's collections are so rich and diverse. Baku is a very green city. And that's great! And, of course, a Muscovite is always a little jealous of roses blooming in parks in December!!! You can compare Baku with Paris, Istanbul, and Dubai! In the vicinity of Baku, the "Martian" steppes are located near luxurious beaches, and very close to the "forest" of oil pumping stations. And all this also excites the imagination. The Zoroastrian temple of Fire, built during the time of the already dominant Islam. Of course, the fiery mountain and mud volcanoes (it's a pity they weren't shown to us, referring to the mud ...).
But we visited not only Baku and its surroundings…
The cobbled streets of Lagich with one- or two-storey stone buildings with unexpected turns and dead ends make you believe that you are in a medieval city, and even stunning workshops immerse their flavor in a bygone era.
The cobblestone streets of Sheki amaze with their lively self-construction, contrasting with the majestic palace of the Sheki Khans, built without a single nail, striking visitors with its luxurious interiors.
And of course, the 12th-century Albanian Church in the village of Kish shocks with its severity and monumentality. And the exciting discoveries of Heyerdahl's Tour are surprising, as is his bust-monument in an Azerbaijani village. I wonder what the Heyerdahl monument does in Azerbaijan? Go and find out!
The "red–brick" Ganja is the pearl of Azerbaijan. Let it be less contrasting than Baku, but more homely and authentic. I was fascinated by the sculpture "The Poetic image of Vasekh". He is also complex and interesting, as is the outstanding Azerbaijani thinker and poet Mirza Shafi Vazeh.
Visit not only "Eastern Paris" (Baku), but also necessarily "little Germany" - the city of Geigel. This is a very colorful city founded by Germans from Württemberg. We also went to the lake of the same name, but it met us with the otherworldly misty world of Silent Hill. The fog was such that the connection with reality was lost! So, it will be necessary to return to be fascinated by the natural beauty of the lake in a different weather.
But a minute of criticism also came up… I will not talk about the Azerbaijani-Armenian conflict. This is an extremely difficult topic for many. It is present everywhere in the country. And it requires a separate complex conversation. But I would like to say something about the cult of Heydar Aliyev. A lot of this, in my opinion, is too much. Perhaps the remnants of "Leninians" and "Stalinians" speak in me, but a person will not be less great and dear to his fellow citizens if his monuments do not stand on every central square, as well as his portraits hang in every institution. After all, the memory is real, it is inside us. And the number of monuments, sometimes, does not speak at all about the greatness of the individual. Of course, Heydar Aliyev will forever remain a hero and a great political figure for Azerbaijanis, but it seems to me that overkill is always bad. Even in preserving the memory of a great person for the citizens of their country, it is not worth going too far.
Let's get back to the pleasant ... Of course, the numerous natural beauties are amazing: snow-capped mountain peaks, the warm Caspian Sea, full-flowing bubbling rivers, blue lakes, the burning Yanardag mountain. This small country has absorbed a lot of natural gifts!
But the soul of any country for me is its markets. Time passes, cities change, but the soul remains... When you get to the Azerbaijani bazaars, you plunge into the luxury of the East, enjoy the spicy aroma of its spices and the delicate taste of its fruits. It is a special pleasure to stroll through the local bazaars, jostling in close rows, marveling at the variety and multicolour of tomatoes, as well as pickles, jams and compotes… These colorful vegetables / fruits in numerous jars look simply enchanting. Any designer can learn from local merchants in creating color schemes.
Go and plunge into the magical worlds of Azerbaijan! I hope I'll be back there too!
As for household trifles... The hotels are diverse (in my opinion, I had 4* everywhere), but not all are clean and have great breakfasts. There was no fruit anywhere! Why in a country where they just fall from trees at any time of the year, does it not occur to you to wash them and put them on the table in a hotel? It has remained a mystery to me. The breakfasts are quite meager, which also surprised me unpleasantly in this hospitable country. There is something to work on in the tourism sector!
The center is clean everywhere, but unfortunately, not because they don't litter, but because they clean up well. In all restaurants, the dishes are large and delicious (from expensive ones in the center of Baku to roadside cafes). It is delicious and safe to eat everywhere. The Internet works great, even away from cities. Unless in the mountains I didn't take a couple of times for the whole trip.
