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.
Mud Volcanoes
After the Rock Mountain, you will visit the Mud 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.

5.00Excellent tour company, extremely organized and professional. Our guide Tahir was exceptionally knowledgeable and shared more than just the petroglyph and mud volcanoes. He gave us a true glimpse in the life of Azerbaijanis. We had an absolutely amazing day. Thanks to Fuad, Tahir and driver Amir.

5.00We had an amazing time exploring Gobustan and the mud volcanoes in Azerbaijan. The ancient rock carvings in Gobustan were fascinating, and the guide, Tahir, did a great job explaining their history. Visiting the mud volcanoes was a unique and fun experience – totally different from anything we've seen before.

5.00I booked a private mud volcanoes/Gobustsn tour and I was picked up/dropped off at the airport. Being just myself, the guide was able to customize it to what I liked. Chinara is amazing, with all the historical information up to modern day events, all stored in her head! Our driver, Adil, was awesome! He drives like I do! ! Seeing the ancient petroglyphs along with the bubbling mud volcanoes was so interesting! The landscape made me feel like I was on the moon! Excellent Tour, highly recommended!
Interesting short trip

5.00Great tour, the guide was very friendly and had an enthusiasm for the local area. I was expecting a bit more from the mud volcanos themselves considering they are considered a notable landmark, they weren't that impressive but the museum and petroglyphs also on the tour were fascinating. We only had 36 hours in the country on transit, so if you only have a short time here then this is a great way to spend half a day!

5.00Had a great day trip was much better going private than a group. Mud mountains def worth visiting & the guide was very nice & friendly & took me to the flame towers on the way home as I hadn’t been. Fairly expensive but wouldn’t be for a family/group.
Great Day Trip!

5.00Great Day trip from Baku as part of our visit to Azerbaijan. We were taken by Elcin and Nazir. The tour started at Fire Temple and Fire Mountain and then we headed to Gobustan along with a visit at Gobustan museum. Elcin is very knowledgeable about all the sites and we learned a lot. A must-have experience! Highly recommended if you are visiting Azerbaijan.
