Very good value tour. You... - Very good value tour. You cover a lot of ground for a small price. And, in our particular case, we got lucky with a great tour guide named Reza. He really knows the history of the region, and he really knows Baku - he made the tour very interesting. Recommended! Favorite part - the off road drive to the mud volcanoes...better than the actual mud volcanoes!

A whirlwind tour of Azerbaijan in one day - Servi the guide really made this trip. She was enthusiastic and knowledgeable and at the same time ultra professional. The trip was very varied, we saw a beautiful mosque, had a very bumpy ride to see some.mud volcanos, saw a fire.mountain and a fire.temple and finished up seeing some midern sculptures. Servi was there to advise and inform us the whole time, making everyone feel included and going out of her way to make the day memorable. The lunch was not bad but certainly nothing special, although the soft drink, reyhan, was.delicious.

Just do it! - The Trip was amazing. Reza was a very knowledgeable guide and spoke perfect English (for a moment I thought he had studied in Britain), we saw so many nice things! It was my favorite trip in Aserbaidschan!

Jean - We had an amazing tour to Gobustan National Historical and Cultural Reserve, the mud volcanoes, and Yanar Dag with our guide Yousuf. Everything was perfectly organized, the places were beautiful and very interesting, and the whole experience was enjoyable from start to finish.
Yousuf was friendly, professional, and explained everything clearly in English. He made the tour fun and comfortable, and we learned a lot about the history and culture of Azerbaijan. The mud volcanoes were especially unique, and Yanar Dag was impressive to see in person.
Everything was great — transportation, timing, and atmosphere. Highly recommended tour and an excellent guide!
