Amazing Experience - We had the pleasure of touring the historic Gabala and Mud Volcanoes and it was an unforgettable experience. Specially because of our tour guide Yashar, his knowledge was not only deep but also engagingly presented, making history come alive for us. He was incredibly patient and accommodating, always willing to answer questions and adjust the pace to suit our needs. The tour was well-organized, comprehensive, and, thanks to Yashar, deeply enriching. We came away with a newfound appreciation for Azerbaijan rich heritage and can't recommend Yashar highly enough as a guide.

Great tour for sights around Baku - Had a great time at the Gobustan, yanar dag etc. Tour with our tour guide Zaur. He was very informative about historical and religious background information at the different stops without being too exhaustive. The stops also provide a nice variety throughout all the centuries. The tour provides a perfect opportunity to see all sights outside of Baku's historic center.

Private Tour - 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).

Outstanding Experience!!! - Shah was my tour guide for the day and he was truly amazing. I really felt like I hired a friend for the day. He was very nice and accommodating. He was professional yet very friendly and easily to get along with. His knowledge of the history and the museums we visited was incomparable. His insight was incredible and this truly allowed him to provide the best tour of such a beautiful country.
If i plan on visiting Azerbaijan again and if available I would definitely request SHAH.

Unforgettable tour in Gobustan - Very well organized and safe private tour in Gobustan, all on time, pick up from hotel. Sites were amazing: mud volcanos, petroglyphs, burning mountain, fire temple. Also the lunch with local food is worth the trip. Special thanks to our guide Farid, very social and friendly. Highly recommended.

Outside of Baku - The tour covered Gobustan Park and Museum, Mud Volcanoes, Temple Fire, and Yanardan fires. The tour guide was nice, but spoke broken English and didn’t have a lot of knowledge of the areas covered. I did hear other English speaking guides giving in-depth descriptions of the different places. There was no planned lunch, except for the guide stopping off at a market, asking if I wanted something.
