Interesting sights but visits are not always in good conditions

It is an excursion around Baku. The highlight is the visit to the prehistoric petroglyphs, volcanic formations and the Zoroastrian temple. The other sites visited have less interest. Our guide Irina was professional and friendly. She gave us several details about the visit. However, the excursion was not up to my expectations. The comfort of the minibus was sketchy, the seats were small. Passengers went on the excursion with children under the age of two, obviously they were too young to sit for a day and were crying, the agency should not accept young children for everyone’s comfort. On the site of the mud volcanoes vehicles took care of us because the terrain was not suitable for the minibus to travel. We were packed into old ladas from the 80s and 90s. It was folklo at first but painful when the driver wants to have fun racing with non-existent shock absorbers! We were given plastic bags to protect the inside of the cars from mud but once the excursion was over the drivers threw the bags in the middle of nature! Unfortunately the visits are timed, it is sometimes frustrating!

Murad the guide was excellent, as was the driver. But sights were underwhelming, best was the drive to the mud volcanoes and the fire temple.

We booked this trip a while back and we were picked up right on time from the pick up point. The tour guide, Adil, was fantastic! The trip could not have been better. The bus was full and the group was diverse , but Adil managed to entertain all of us. Everything was great! Thank you, Adil.

This tour is a really nice one to get to see the sights in the remote areas of Baku and Gobustan. Accompanied by the tour guide Zeyneb and her spot on remarks and historical facts made this trip not only fun but also very educational. Highly recommend for those who want to learn more about Azerbaijan :)

The trip was wonderful. Gobustan's history and drawings on the rocks was worth seeing. Our guide Zeyneb was energectic, fluent in English and friendly. Her company made this journey feel much better.
