How do I find a reputable Baku travel agency?
Shortlist operators with recent reviews in your language, clear inclusions, and sample itineraries for Baku—not only nationwide brands without local staff.
How many nights do travellers usually spend in Baku?
Two to three nights suits a single-base city break; longer if Baku is part of a multi-stop Azerbaijan route with day trips.
Can Baku agencies plan private tours?
Yes—confirm vehicle type, guide credentials, and whether entries are pre-booked with timed slots where required.
What should travel agents put in a FIT brief for Baku?
Hotel style, pace, must-see list, dietary needs, budget band, and whether clients prefer walking-heavy days or more driving.
What belongs in a first briefing email?
Dates, pace, hotel style, must-see list, dietary needs, guide language, budget band, and whether you need invoices for a host agency stateside.
How fast should a reputable operator reply?
Initial proposals within one to two business days for FIT; faster for urgent departures if they state after-hours contact.
Do agencies mark up entrance tickets?
Some bundle timed entries; others bill net plus service. Ask for a line-item view so you can compare fairly.
Can I pay in my home currency?
Many invoice in EUR or USD for trade; card policies vary. Confirm FX, deposit, and refund rules before transfer.
