What To Expect
Gobustan Rock Art
Your tour will start with the car picking you up from the hotel. First destination will be the Gobustan- The Archeological monument is located in 56 km from the capital city, Baku. The artifacts and rock carvings were discovered in 1939 – 1940 years. As a result of the researchers, more than 3,500 human and animal paintings and various markings – petroglyphs were recorded and 20 suburban shelters have been identified in this place. Mesolithic monuments (medieval stone) are mostly exhibited in the reserve. There are many caves, springs, carved by primitive men on walls of caves, rocks, and stony lumps. First you will visit the Gobustan Museum to get the better insights to the history of the area then you will go by car to the Rock Mountain to see the real carvings. After the Rock Mountain, you will visit the Mud.
Mud Volcanoes
Volcanoes. That is why the Transportation will be changed to the Soviet Lada Cars. Whoever wants can bring some strong plastic bags with them to collect some of the mud from there which has been said is good for the skin. Spending 10 minutes around Volcanoes you will be transferred back to your car. On the way to the Hotel you will also visit the Bibiheybet Mosque, with magnificent green internal decorative beauty and the First Industrial Oil Well on the Earth that was opened for use in 1846.

3.00Paying for your own car with driver and guide to a certain point. Then you are moved over in an old Soviet car that has never been under EU control. You must pay driver at least 35 manat cash for the drive to the mud volcano and back. On skiing you must pay 10 manat per pers for entrance. We were not allowed to stop at the mosque, all in all totally ok. Tips also not included, we didn't have more cash when we were asked for tips.
A rocking experience 👍🏻

5.00Overall an excellent trip, our driver Nazir and guide Ell were friendly and professional. We got a good amount of information and the Gobustan rocks, petroglyphs amd mud volcanoes were really interesting locations. The crowning moment was to experience a flat tyre on an soviet-era Lada and to observe a F1-quality tyre change on the track! :D Good rides, great fun, highly recommend!
Interesting experience

5.00We went to the Gobustan petroglyphs, and enjoyed it thoroughly. (The museum tour was a bit long for the kids, and we probably could have self guided that part and enjoyed it more—no fault of the tour, that guide worked at the museum) The mud volcanos were great, but for me the highlights were a change to the schedule to stop at a beach to wade into the Caspian, and go to lunch. (It wasn’t included with the tour, so this was at our expense) We and our guide, Ilkin, ate way too many kebabs and pilaf.
Interesting! A worthy experience

4.00Well organized with pick up from our address. Fuad is a great guide - knowledgeable and helpful. We particularly enjoyed the rock paintings from old times and the mud volcanos - the off-road drive to the volcanos in old Soviet ladas was great fun. I’ll never say anything negative about lada cars after this trip…
Have a great day of discoveries!

5.00Very good activity. The discovery of petropgyphs was very interesting. Our guide was exciting! Mud volcanoes are also something to see, it is very surprising. In any case everything was very well organized for a reasonable price:)
