Our tour was wonderful. The village was beautiful, and the people that live there are very friendly. Our guide was also incredibly helpful and knowledgeable of Azeri culture. He even helped us find a nice local restaurant that we otherwise wouldn`t have known about. Overall it was a great experience.
We`re very much looking forward to our second tour. Thank you for making arrangements.
