Half-day private tour to Gobustan with our guide, Myca, was an excellent use of our time and money. Guide was fluent in English and Russian, friendly, and knowledgeable. Van was comfortable, and the driver was professional and sane. 5 Stars.

Tour guide did a great job, but the sights were just not that exciting. The Mud Volcanoes were not much to see

My private tour guide, Ruslan, was an amazing host and extremely knowledgeable. He picked me up from my hotel promptly at the agreed time and safely drove me to all of the sites included in this tour. He shared many educational facts along the way, which was greatly appreciated. The lunch stop was wonderful…I asked Ruslan to order for me and he did not disappoint. If you have the better part of a day available then I highly recommend this tour. For reference, I took this tour in August and it was extremely hot (above 40C) at Gobustan, so be sure to hydrate ahead of time and bring water (Ruslan also stopped for more water once I ran out of what I brought).
