Guys, first of all, I'd like to thank you for the great tour. Everything was well-organized, all necessary information was provided. The guide that you work with is a knowledgeable young lady who told us lots of curious things about Gobustan, ancient drawings and mud volcanos. And I also want to add that I'm eternally grateful for your help. When I lost my keys and popped up your your office, you did everything possible to ease my misery:))

Very interesting visit; the guide was young but very professional. She was very flexible and nice. The Gobustan park and museum are really great to see. The volcanoes are interesting but not easy to find by yourself (better to do it in a tour) I would suggest the tour offer also a tour in Ramana castle as this is really between Astashgah temple and Yanar dag
Easy & cost effective way to see main sights of interest around Baku

Friendly English speaking staff in office were not fazed when I turned up a day later than I booked & quickly (at no cost) booked my party in for the next day. Jaiel was an informative guide who patiently answered all our questions not only about what we saw on the tour, but on life in Azerbaijan in general. A full & interesting day which exceeded my expectations.
Great tour to the must see attractions in Baku

I did the half day tour with BagBaku to mud volcanoes and petroglyphs and it was as promised. Pick up was in front of Nizami metro station which is centrally located. Our beautiful and professional guide Jale was already there way before the pick up time and I think we managed to start the tour even before the starting time. We stepped into a clean comfortable MB Vito minivan and during the drive Jale explained the itinerary for the day. After 45min drive we arrived to the petroglyphs which turned out way more interesting than I had thought. Quick stop at a surprisingly interactive museum and then around noon we headed to mid volcanoes. Weird and interesting attractions as well although in smaller scale what I thought. After the volcanoes we drove back to Baku and got dropped off at Maiden Tower which was also convenient drop off location. This tour was what the itinerary promised nothing less nothing more but still I would recommend this to anyone willing to see those attractions.
