    Nothing wrong, just expensive for what you get

    Everything was handled correctly, properly organized and I was saved a lot of trouble, but still, at the price I happened to pay, this was a lot for what was basically just transport. The driver couldn't speak enough English - I needed to summon up my 40-year-old Russian classes. That said, he was both polite and as helpful and informative as he could be given the communication barrier. I chose to go solo instead of a group because I thought the Palace of the Khans in Sheki would be most beautiful in the late afternoon. To be frank, it would be beautiful at any hour, so don't let that be the reason for a private driver. I did like being able to determine schedule and stops. There would have been stops I didn't care about in a group tour. If I went again to Azerbaijan, I would likely try and arrange a driver privately, since that was essentially what this was. But there were things the driver handled (including a police stop-bribe and helping me briefly at the border) that I could not have done myself. As I said, there was nothing done incorrectly. Still for the premium price, I would have expected a driver who could speak English sufficiently to deal with my requests - which was promised and frankly not quite delivered. I wound up speaking bad Russian.

    Could be a great trip, but several missteps made it unpleasant

    The locations were great, as was the transportation. Could have been an incredible experience. Unfortunately, I paid for an English speaking driver and our driver, while very nice, could not communicate with us at all. We missed several stops on the tour and struggled through numerous miscommunications. For families, the safety standards were subpar. The seatbelts were not working and the driver, while clearly skilled, drove very aggressively and narrowly avoided several serious accidents. The places we visited were beautiful and I would absolutely go to them again, but unfortunately not with this tour company. I do have to credit them to the fact that they were very flexible and allowed us to delay our trip one day due to my child’s illness, so that was much appreciated. But it wasn’t enough to make me go back.

    Great trip

    Our driver/guide Samir was wonderful. He was punctual, courteous, and knowledgeable. His car was clean. He drove fast but I never felt unsafe. Overall, great company.

    Unforgettable Azerbaijan Experience with Outstanding Tour Service

    We had an amazing experience with T E S TOURS in Azerbaijan. Everything was smooth and well-organized, making our trip unforgettable. The tours were fantastic, and their personal touch, like arranging a cake for my friend, was greatly appreciated. Highly recommended.

    Azerbaijan tour facilitated by TES Tours now known as Old City Tours.

    Hello all! This is a month old review and I couldn't post it due to the paucity of time. But the memories of Azerbaijan are so overwhelming that I couldn't resist but to write this review. I visited there with my family and the 5 night tour was facilitated by TES Tour now known as Old City Tours. In short, we did our night city tour the day of our arrival and the city lights up at night like it never sleeps. The next day, we left for absheron peninsula and we visited gobustan and mud volcanoes and finished-off our day with Azerbaijani cuisine. The next day was our tour to Gabala, Lahij and Shamakhi village. Namig was the tour guide and he is a thorough gentleman. The scenery enroute will take your breath away. Day 4 was Lenkaran and Astara. I did my research and was looking for any tour agency to take us there and here I came across with TES Tour. Farid, our tour guide, who became my closest friend in Azerbaijan and it was a trip worth remembering. I don't have words to narrate the beauty of Lenkaran, a district near Iran border and we got to see a lot of beautiful places there. Farid belongs to lenkaran itself, who also invited us to this Bibi's house (Aunt in Talish language) and she offered us mushmulla (a speciality fruit of Lenkaran) from her garden and said prayers for us when we were leaving. Farid taught me a few words in Russian and in return I taught him some Hindi words. On our way back to hotel, we spent our evening at Khanbulan Lake with people singing old Azeri songs on their traditional musical instruments, we had some Talish tea with walnuts and the day ended with Yanar Bulag, a natural spring water with flames coming out of its top. I must mention about Cevansir, at whose shop, we halted for a while when we entered Lenkaran and he offered us Lenkaran special tea with jaggery. Your day will not end without having tea because in Azerbaijan, you don't count the tea cups you're having (Chay nadir Say Nadir). The second last day was Guba and Khinalug, that borders with Dagestan, Russia and our tour guide was Mr. Aqil, another friend of mine in whom, did I find a similar interest in combat sports and he took us up the mountains and a local village house where we ate local home cooked food and had tea with white cherries. The people in Azerbaijan are welcoming and generous. The final day, we visited the old Baku city and were privileged to visit World heritage sites and we got to thank all the TES Tour group members at their office which is in Old City by the Double Gates. We came back with a heavy heart as we had to leave that beautiful country, but we brought the memories with us. If it makes you write a review even after a month visiting some place, trust me it must be worth it. Azerbaijan is worth it and so is TES Tours.

    Independent multi-day Azerbaijan Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Baku.

    How much does Independent multi-day Azerbaijan Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $290 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Baku usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Independent multi-day Azerbaijan Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Baku is not rushed.

    Is Independent multi-day Azerbaijan Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Baku, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Independent multi-day Azerbaijan Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Independent multi-day Azerbaijan Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Independent multi-day Azerbaijan Tour?

    +

    Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Baku can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Baku and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Independent multi-day Azerbaijan Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Baku within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Baku?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Baku experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Gobustan and Absheron tour, BEST Gobustan, Volcanoes & Absheron Fire Tour (Group or Private), Shahdag, Quba, Candy Cane - Azerbaijan's Alpine Odyssey Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Baku?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Baku?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Independent multi-day Azerbaijan Tour?

    +

    Included: Baku hotel pickup and drop-off; Assistance for accommodation; Round-trip private transfer; and Transport by private vehicle. Not included: Accommodation; Food and drinks; and Tour guide. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Independent multi-day Azerbaijan Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 748 listed pickup locations in and around Baku. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Independent multi-day Azerbaijan Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Independent multi-day Azerbaijan Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Independent multi-day Azerbaijan Tour if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Baku. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.

    What do travelers say about Independent multi-day Azerbaijan Tour?
