5.00We had another wonderful tour with our guide Nazperi when we visited Qobustan, the Mud Volcanoes, Fire Mountain, and the Fire Temple. It was a truly informative and enjoyable experience. Nazperi has excellent knowledge about the history and different religions of Azerbaijan. She explained every detail very clearly, which helped us fully understand each place we visited. When you enter places like the Fire Temple and the Burning Mountain, her explanations give you a complete picture of their history and significance. The visit to the Qobustan Museum and Mud Volcanoes was also very interesting, and everything was well organized. She made the entire trip smooth, engaging, and easy to follow. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to truly understand the history and culture of Azerbaijan while visiting these places.
