4.00Very organized on the pick up with clear instructions and meeting point. For the price of the tour which mainly was the transportation and the meal, it was great value for money as it saves you from the hassle of jumping on the public bus or taxi to the different sites which are quite far apart. Since this did not include the ticket prices, one could op to not visit the site as you wish. Our tour guide, Sahil was informative. Only improvement point I would say, it would have been nice if there was a quick introduction about the history and people of Azerbaijan in general - during the visits to the different sites, he did give nice explanation of the site. All in all a good tour.
Interesting sights but visits are not always in good conditions

3.00It 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...

5.00We 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.

5.00This 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 :)
