Beautiful day in the area of Baku - Super nice tour through the area of Baku and various highlights in the area. Also a piece to the mud volcanoes in an old Lada is great Nice guide Aga can be mentioned.

Fun day trip outside Baku - Fun day with guide Aga, who can tell well. Surprised at the prehistoric drawings by the large amount on display. Driving a Lada through the landscape was also an experience in itself. Finally, we could quietly wait for the dark for the most beautiful pictures of Yanardag. Top day day!
