5.00An excellent day from start to finish. Our guide for the day was so knowledgeable and great fun. We visited Temples, Burning Mountains, Ancient Cave Drawings and Mud Volcanoes....amazing. The off road to the volcanoes in a Lada 4x4 was thrilling. Hotel pick up and Drop off. A must do when visiting Baku.
Great Experience

5.00I had a fantastic full day tour of Gobustan and Absheron, my guide was extremely knowledgeable and the information he shared about Azerbaijan as a whole was very interesting. I was lucky enough to have a private tour and both my guide and driver where very helpful, they were happy to stop off at little places along the way that we came across. I will never forget the journey to the mud volcanoes, so much fun. Thank you for a memorable day
Great experience

5.00We were three people from Sweden who visited Baku in June. I contacted Azerbaijan-Tours before we went there. I was called by Suleyman who had lived and worked in Sweden and therefore spoke good Swedish which was nice. We booked three excursions. One of these was for Gobustan and Absheron. It was a nice tour where the Gobustan museum was very interesting. On the way home we were invited to lunch at a nice fish restaurant by the sea. Suleyman was a very good driver and guide and it was fun to speak Swedish with him On the way home we were invited to lunch in a nice place. Suleyman was a very good driver and guide and it was fun to speak Swedish with him
Recommended, top organized tour!

5.00Thanks to Orkhan and the team of Azerbaijan Tours for a great trip to the Baku area! Already the booking of the tour went very well: on our request we received an answer very quickly, all our questions were answered competently and friendly. On the day of the excursion we were picked up at our hotel on time at the agreed time. Our driver and our tour guide Ülker were extremely helpful, very nice and friendly. During the journey between the individual sights, we learned a lot of interesting facts about the individual destinations from Ülker; but were also able to exchange wonderfully about many other topics of daily life, so that the journey time flew by. We really enjoyed the stops at the Ateshgah Fire Temple, the burning Mount Yanardag, the mud volcanoes, the Gobustan National Park and the Bibi Heybet Mosque. This excursion is a great way to visit various interesting destinations in the Baku area in one day and is very worthwhile. The organization by the team of Azerbaijan-Tours was perfect - we thank you for a great day and herewith gladly recommend you!
Tour was amazing
