Our tour guide Leyla was lovely from the first moment we were greeted by her. She was very knowledgable and takes great pictures at every stop. The tour itself didn’t waste time and you get to visit each stop and explore before moving on. Transport was very comfy. Definitely recommend to see the sights outside of Baku!

It was an okay tour. Our tour guide knew a lot of information about the history of Baku so that was great. Like a walking encyclopedia. Everything went pretty smooth except it was quite long. The logistics of whos paying should have been sorted before ppl got on the bus. The vehicles that took us to the mud mountain was unacceptable. It was like from like the early 1900's. Missing parts, rusted, and falling apart. Our driver was driving wreckless to race another driver through the terrains. That was not okay. Especially since the car was so ancient, there were no seatbelts. To be fair, the was a mess. The mud and fire were underwhelming.
Great day out with our...

This tour is a nice option to check the main attractions around baku. Visiting the mud volcanos, rocks carvings and fire is a must do. The tour was well organized with a nice lunch stop. Our guide was Musa and he was friendly and helpful
