This tour was exactly... - This tour was exactly what I wanted to see in Baku. It was a long day but we saw a lot of sites that day. I especially like the Gobustan Rock Art and the Fire Temple. The buffet was good with a lot of selections. I would recommend this tour if these are the things you want to see in Baku.

I recommend the Gobustan... - I recommend the Gobustan and Absheron Tour. Admittedly, we started quite late due to street closures, but we managed to complete the tour plan in full. However, I think the tour program was too intense and we had to rush at every place. I would add that our guide was very friendly and tried to make the trip go as well as possible.

From the moment the tour began, her warmth, professionalism, and deep knowledge stood out. Nazrin has a way of bringing history, culture, and local stories to life, making the entire experience engaging and memorable.

Full day trip well... - Full day trip well organized and managed by a nice and attentive guy. Excellent combo of attractions situated at opposite directions from Baku (south ovest- and north east) that would have been impossible to visit without a car. I also enjoy travelling with people coming from many different countries, cool vibes!

Tural was a A very... - Tural was a A very informative guide and his English was good and he showed us all the stops on iteniary with out rushing. also gave us a bottle of water. I am surprised more people havnt left reviews especially the price that I booked this for it's the cheapest price for what you see. I was surprised that the taxi to mud volcanoes was more like a jeep safari experience. I thoroughly enjoyed this more than the jeep safari In Dubai. the mud volcanoes was good.

We went on a day trip... - We went on a day trip from Baku to Gobustan/Mud Volcanos (with a Lada race)/Burning mountains etc and we had an unbelievable experience! Our tour guide Adil is an incredible historian and gave a thoroughly interesting tour - we would highly recommend requesting him to be your tour guide! He was extremely knowledgable of every aspect of the tour, and his passion for the history. Experience is incredible and the history we learnt from having a tour guide was amazing - we would highly recommend having a tour as there is so much history you learn that you wouldn’t if you didn’t have a tour guide.

A thoroughly enjoyable... - A thoroughly enjoyable experience. I was feeling quite tired from a late night before but Tural was very attentive and cool about it. I was the only English speaker in my group but Tural made sure I had an equal experience to the others and often would come and talk to me one-to-one to ensure I was enjoying myself.
