Gobustan/ Absheron with Murad - Our guide Murad was great, he himself was the highlight of the trip! My parents and I had an absolutely great time, we covered so many important landmarks and spots in Baku. He gave a very detailed explanation of the mud volcanoes, the rock art carving in Gobustan. The ride was comfortable, food was delicious, Murad was absolutely courteous and wonderful. He felt more like a host in his country than a guide.
I would recommend this tour specifically with Murad to anyone who's trying to really understand the Azerbaijani culture and explore it first hand

Everything is good, just not the Food. - The itinerary is perfect, and our Guide Murad was very informative and very friendly.
The mud volcano was a bit disappointing (very small), but it is what it is.
Everything is as per the itinerary, i recommend getting the option with the lunch and without the tickets.
You will have to pay a total of 55 AZN per person for tickets and the ride to Mud Volcano.

Comfortable ride and great tour - Our guide Gani was very good. He gave a good amount of information about each place and was kind and approachable. The experience was very comfortable and we were able to visit all the sites. Unfortunately due to traffic constraining our time, we were unable to go inside the Hayder Aliyev centre but we still managed to stop there and take photos outside. We returned at 6pm to central Baku.
