- Visited Gobustan with an excursion, where they viewed the park with petroglyphs, as well as wild mud volcanoes, then, after lunch, visited the place Yanardag, where natural gas burns and near this place the temple of fire. Guide Raphael led the tour, he spoke excellently about sights, features of life in Azerbaijan, mentality and culture of the people. The tour was conducted in Russian, tickets and transportation without problems.

Azerbaijan foreva) - First of all, they were interested in UNESCO World Heritage Sites, so they started with the Old City in Baku, and in the second place in the ranking of Gobustan with its mud volcanoes, nature reserve and petroglyphs. 9 h excursion to Gobustan and Absheron - it is unforgettable for life! I recommend it! A nice bonus was the Russian-speaking, educated, talented guides Oguz and Emilia. I hope you're lucky to be in their company, too!

Everything was great. - This tour is really perfect for people interested in history and archaeology. Being a student in these fields, it was an unexpected surprise to me. Museums, landscapes, mud volcanoes or rock paintings, everything was beautiful. A big thank you to our guide Nuray who masters perfectly the subjects of this excursion and who I found very pleasant and very charming. My English is not very good but she made me understand everything! Thanks again. Johan Level

Overall a nice day - We had a great guide and driver. Lunch was good! A bit confusing with several languages being spoken with quick change. (Our guide masterfully spoke languages!)

Lots of interesting information and lots of positive impressions - We went on 2 excursions from this tour operator. Both of our guides had a wonderful girl named Leila. She's very thoughtful and friendly, energetic. Despite having little experience, she said, I would say that she is carrying out her duties professionally and conscientiously. The only downside of this operator's excursions would be the short duration of arrival at each location. If you need to get a lot of interesting information and shoot a lot of photos and videos, then this is for you. If you want to spend more time in each location, exploring everything more thoroughly is probably not an option.
