A good, information packed tour

4.00Serdar was friendly, warm and informative. Whilst we enjoyed the tour and got to see a lot of things, I felt that a some of it was a bit limited, I was disappointed that we just walked around a track and looked at a few mud bubbles at the mud volcanoes. Nothing much to see. When I first was looking at Azer as trip destination, you could get right up close to these. But that was nothing to do with the tour, just my expectations.
Very informative and fun...

Missed the mud volcano due to rains, avoid if there are rain predictions.

4.00Was a good experience to this tour. Missed the mud volcanos due to the rains, so avoid booking this tour if there is a rain predicted, bcoz they don’t refund the money in this case. Although the guide is good and professional. Better to look at the weather predictions for next few days before booking this tour.

3.00All the places we visited were very interesting. The guide was unfortunately not well trained and inexperienced. He offered very little information and on parts of the drive, was asleep. Nice guy but tour guiding is not for him.
Very recommended, interesting, suitable, full with knowledge.

Azerbaijan history distilled in a day of fun

5.00From start to finish, our tour was equal parts interesting, personal, and entertaining. Valeh, our guide, kept things clear and concise while also allowing for the nuance of history to seep in. We did the full day tour because our schedule was tight, which made for a long day, but Valeh made it a good time. Incredibly exciting to learn about the many layers of Azerbaijan’s complex history.
A-Z of Azerbaijan

5.00We took this day tour on October 30, which was led by the friendly, passionate and extremely knowledgeable Jale. The two highlights for me were the opening two things - the Gobustan and the mud volcanoes - which were worth the prices we paid alone, and the fire temple was impressive. Racing across the Azerbaijani desert in a old car turned 4x4 was quite the experience! However, we were a little underwhelmed with the fire mountain considering the price to get in. Book this now if you want a day trip with a difference, giving you plenty of insight into the fascinating history of Azerbaijan. TIP: Bring plenty of Manat for entry to the places, and it’s probably best to bring some lunch with you as while they were happy to stop at shops etc, I’m not sure if this is the norm!
