Good way to see another side of Baku, outside the city - It was a lovely day trip to see what Baku has to offer, with its historical aspect and outdoor nature. The trip was compact and informative, thanks for Nazperi. Naz is a champ, I can see her passion when she spoke and explained about the different places we went. Overall, highly recommended 👍🏼

A Journey into Gobustan's History with Mr. Sait - Another memorable stop on our Baku trip was Gobustan. We’ve explored the area’s thousand-year-old rock paintings, mud volcanoes, and unique natural beauty with our valued guide Sait Bey. With Mr. Sait’s fluent narrative, we didn’t just stop seeing it, we learned about Gobustan’s history and importance. It was a fun yet educational experience. We recommend this tour with confidence to anyone coming to Azerbaijan.

Baku Tour - The first oil well, the mud dunes, the Volcano and the fire temple of Zerduş, our tour guide, has helped us with a nice narrative of Seyidağa. And the best must-do tour ...

Good day trip to explore beyond Baku city and learn a little more about Azerbaijan. - Fantastic day tour to get a little more insight to Azerbaijan beyond the city of Baku. Ismayal was a good guide for the day and kept the group on track. About 14 in the group and travel by Mercedes van which was comfortable and the driver was good. Pay all inclusive price so you don’t have to worry about paying for tickets or lunch. Lunch was really nice, but do consider buying some snacks and taking water or other drink as it’s a long day. There is a short 15 minute stop at a supermarket on the way in the morning.

Good Variety, not everything hits - This tour was a good way to see a variety of sites and learn about the history and culture of Azerbaijan. Overall I enjoyed the tour, though I found a couple of it's components to feel out of place. For example, at the mud volcanos the rock and skeleton museum just displayed rocks and skeletons. There was no focus on the local minerals nor the local animal life. The guide was informative, though his style for talking to people was not conducive to a large group. He would pace, and talk in all directions making it difficult to understand at times.
