5.00With Sayed's guide, we visited mud volcanoes, Gobustan rock art, Bibiheibat mosque, monuments of oilfield mining, Yanartag and fire temples. I enjoyed the wild driving of my 4WD until I went to the mud volcano (be careful, the driver is a different person from the guide, who keeps it a secret and asks for tips. The guide told me beforehand that I didn't need a tip, so I was able to slip through and escape to the bus.) The most impressive thing about this trip was the rock art. I was able to see quite a few pictures. Without a guide, I think it's hard to find where it is. Where the rock art is located is on a hill of mountains, so you can see the plain and the Caspian Sea. It is the best view. After listening to the explanations, I was able to learn more about rock art in the exhibition hall, which further deepened my understanding. Lunch is a buffet restaurant in Baku. You can rest assured that the guide doesn't seem to have a bag in it:) For me, it was 20 manats, which I think is cheaper than the shops in Baku Old City. The mosque also allows you to photograph the interior, so that you can get up close and personal with devotees praying. Yanaltag didn't expect that much, but it was surprisingly powerful and I enjoyed it because he taught me how to shoot well. The fire temple was also easy to understand as it went around explaining the necessary parts. The last photo taken by our guide was the best (all the tour participants are shown, so we don't include it) We recommend this tour and guide in the following ways: ・I can speak both English and Russian. It was easy for me to hear even if I was not a good English speaker in a non-English speaking country. (I just didn't have enough English to understand my friends from the same country.) ・The guide is very kind throughout, caringly calling out to me, re-explaining me, and teaching me how to take pictures. · It is probably difficult for individuals to visit all these spots. Transferring a taxi can be a hassle, especially since mud volcanoes are rough roads to get there. It protects you from trouble. ・Perhaps we can discuss changing the order of your visit, where to attend, and where to finish. There were actually people who got off halfway to their personal appointments.
Highly recommended, great tour activity and guide.

バクー郊外の見所を押さえた1日ツアー

5.00It was a one-day tour that covered the highlights outside of Baku. Our guide, Turkel, was very kind. Seeing the scenery along the way, I was surprised to see that Azerbaijan is a country with floating oil and natural gas reserves. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Azerbaijan or Baku for the first time. バクー郊外の見所を押さえた1日ツアーでした。ガイドのturkelさんにはとても親切にしていただきました。 途中の景色を見てアゼルバイジャンは石油と天然ガスの浮かぶ国だなと驚きました。 初めてアゼルバイジャンやバクーを訪れる方にはおすすめします。

5.00Did the trip to Gobustan with our tour guide Yusif. We ended up doing two different tours on two different days because we enjoyed it so much. Highly recommend going to the mud volcanos and swimming in the mud if you have the opportunity. Definitely a memorable highlight of our trip to Azerbaijan!
Perfect Day

5.00It was a perfect day, from the contact beforehand to the on-time pick-up, the detailed explanation of the tour guide Yusif and the smooth connection between the attractions. Finally, after fully playing, the tour ended early so that we could have a better rest. What else can I say except a full score recommendation?
