A must-do experience - book it! - Our trip was absolutely fantastic! In such a short amount of time, we managed to see and experience so much — from the stunning Bibi-Heybat Mosque to the fascinating Ghobustan Rock Art and the impressive National Park Museum. The off-road part of the trip in those old local taxis out to the mud volcanoes was a real highlight and so much fun — a true little adventure! But what made this tour truly unforgettable was our amazing guide, Mahabat. He was incredibly knowledgeable, funny, cheerful, and relaxed — the perfect balance of professionalism and warmth. Thanks to his enthusiasm and insightful explanations, every stop felt meaningful and every moment enjoyable.

Anytime again - Mahabat was a very warm, great, good-humored tour guide who knew a lot about the attractions. The half-day trip was very entertaining and interesting. We had a lot of fun with our troupe. We would definitely book the experience again!

Short, Exploratory and Scenic - Well paced tour with ample time to explore top sight in Gobustan and Mud Volcano. The start to the trip with Oil Well and Bibi Mosque was good too. Special call out to Musa and his great narrative and music choice.

Book this tour! - Book this one! We did four different tours via various operators while in Azerbaijan and this is the only one I am recommending. We booked the private tour version, which was well worth the reasonable price, and I have only good things to say about our guide Ruslan. The mud volcanoes were super interesting, and the 4x4 experience in the Lada Niva was one I'm glad I had and probably won't get to have again! We were a little unsure about what was going on when we transferred to the Niva, but we felt confident we were in good hands with Ruslan, and we were right about that. The museum and historic park at Gobustan are very well-maintaned and interesting. It was amazing to see petroglyphs from tens of thousands of years ago! Again, kudos to Ruslan for being an outstanding guide!

Fun - We really enjoyed this tour to Gobustan, it included a lot of different stops which meant that the drive never felt too long. For the off-road part of the journey in to see the mud volcanoes we transferred to old taxis which was fun. Our guide Mahabat was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of interesting information about the area and the country, and was very ready and willing to answer all of our questions. The tour felt very fast at times and I could have spent longer in some places (the museum) but still thoroughly enjoyed.

Worth the experience for a half day tour - This was a great experience for a half day tour. Mahabat was very knowledgeable and considerate to us all and individually as well. You get to see a lot for a short amount of time. I highly recommend booking this if you're around Baku for a few days.

A must-do experience in Azerbaijan! - This tour was a great experience which elevated our trip in Baku! Our guide, Musa, was very friendl and fun guy and knows very well the history and facts of the place. We enjoyed our half day (this is a very convenient set up as you have time to explore more sights in Baku or elsewhere), and i believe is a very compact and inclusive schedule which everyone should do while in Baku.
