I had a fairly good experience with AFC Holidays. I had taken the Baku Package. It was a total value for your money kind of a holiday package. The Fly Dubai flight was comfortable. Hotel dropoff was hassle-free. The hotel that they gave us was neat and clean and we did not have any issues.

My fly & me had a memorable trip to Baku & Gabala thanks to the good itinerary planned by Anoop. It helped us cover important sites without making it too tiring. We are regular customers with AFC for the past several years and been on their long haul trips as well. Great service and good pricing. Have recommended AFC to several friends who too have fond memories. Looking forward to our holiday with AFC ?? Mr B Lobo

Baku was one of the wonderful experiences traveling with AFC holidays since they planned the trip very well from Dubai right until providing us with good tours services. The tour company hired by AFC in Baku was excellent and very prompt with their timings, transportation, airport transfers etc. right up to providing us with personal tours too during our free time. The only disaster was the hotel which was suppose to be 4 stars but we could rate it as 2 star since the amenities were below standards. No proper restaurants for our lunches or dinners and also the offered breakfast was similar on all 3 days we stayed there. Also, room cards had to be activated on a daily basis and also the hotel was located in a very remote, deserted place which was far from restaurants or shopping areas. AFC have always put their best effort to serve their customer but I think customer feedback helps them to serve us better.

AFC Holidays delivered an awesome itinerary on my trip to Baku Azerbaijan, everything was according to plan, in order and hassle-free. The accommodation provided was excellent through its service especially the breakfast which was phenomenal. The Gabala optional tour was wonderful especially the cable car. Baku is a beautiful city, perfect climate and compact with tourist spots which you could complete within days walking. Thanks, AFC Holidays for the exceptional trip, a nice package worth to recommend.
