I had the absolute pleasure of touring Turkmenistan with Baky, and he exceeded all expectations. From the very first moment, he was warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. His passion for the country’s history, culture, and people shone through in every story he told, bringing each location to life in a way that was both fascinating and engaging. He took care of every detail – from seamless logistics to thoughtful recommendations – making the entire experience effortless and enjoyable. His ability to adapt the tour to my interests, answer every question in depth, and add personal touches along the way made it truly special. Not only did I leave with a deeper understanding of Turkmenistan, but I also felt like I had spent the week with a friend who genuinely loves sharing his country. If you’re visiting Turkmenistan, do yourself a favour and book a tour with Baky – you won’t regret it.Show more
