5.00We had a fantastic and very well-organized private trip. Everything went smoothly, and we were extremely happy with the overall experience. Our guide even took us to two additional places that weren't included in the original itinerary, which made the trip even more special. Highly recommended!
A Great Baku Day Trip

5.00This trip takes you to the popular sights around the Absheron peninsula, including the first oil well, a mosque, the mud pots, the Gobustan petroglyphs, the burning mountain, and the fire temple. The highlight is definitely the off-road trip in a Lada to the mud pots; even though my trip was in the rain, the guide wrapped our shoes in plastic bags and we slid up the mountain to see the bubbling mounds. My guide, Leyla, was friendly and lively and kept the tour moving along. Overall, a fun trip and great way to start my time in Azerbaijan.
Outstanding tour

5.00My excursion to Gobustan and Absheron was a delightful blend of history and natural wonders. The ancient rock carvings in Gobustan transported me to prehistoric times, offering a glimpse into Azerbaijan's rich past. Moving on to Absheron, the fiery Yanar Dag (Burning Mountain) was a mesmerizing sight, showcasing the region's natural wonders. The historical Ateshgah Fire Temple added cultural depth to the journey. Overall, this tour was a perfect harmony of history, nature, and cultural exploration. Highly recommended for travelers seeking a diverse and enriching experience.

The enigmatic rock engravings echoed tales of ancient societies, and the Absheron Peninsula's diverse attractions, from the Fire Temple to the Heydar Aliyev Center, showcased the nation's rich historical and cultural fabric. This tour is a living narrative of a civilization's journey through time.
