Amazing half day tour, highly recommend - We were picked up at 9am for a amazing half day tour of Gobustan with Mud Volcanoes and visiting the Worlds First Oil well and also Bibi-Heybat Mosque. All the attractions were really informative and worth visiting, and the day was made extra special by our driver, Elnur, who was always on time, reliable and very patient. We were given enough time at each attraction and never felt rushed. It was the perfect way to see some of the surrounding landscape around Baku, and the vehicle we were in was clean, tidy and air-conditioned. I would like to give a special mention to Esmira who expertly organised our tour over WhatsApp and was very informative, and made sure that we saw everything we wanted to see, and quickly responding to any questions we had. It was a great tour and I highly recommend if you visit Baku.

Must visit outside of Baku - Would definitely recommend this tour if you want to see something outside of Baku but do not want to spend all day on a tour. The mud volcanoes were a unique thing to see and Gobustan is a must visit when in Baku. The guide (Solmaz) was very friendly and knowledgeable about the history of Baku and Azerbaijan in general. Her English is very good and she answered all our questions with a smile.

Fabolous. - I took the Gobustan - Absheron tour last Friday 26th. It was one of the tours that was on mu bucket list, hence was very looking forward to it. It exceeded my expectations in all manners. Our tour guide, Solmaz, when into details and info, making it more worth such tour. She answered all our quires/questions. I take he opportunity to give a big applause and thanks to Solmaz, as well our driver, basically the whole team.

Baku tour service is best👍👍 - Sometimes right things just come across you without asking. Same thing happened with me. I was walking on nizami street and one guy showed me booklet of baku tours. I went to talk to his manager which turned out to be an indian. His name is Dewang Patel. Firstly it was easy for me to communicate with him as he was india. Secondly he offered us reasonable prices for shahdag tour and gobustan tours that we cannot refuse. Above all he was so gentle and flexible with everything . Best guy in service. Also i cannot forget to thank dewang to provide us such a helpful driver. His name is Vusol. He was such a generous and gentleman throughout the tour . We liked him so much that for sor airport transfer we specifically demanded dewang to send vusol. He was the only guy who dint ask for any tip in baku. Thank you dewang for making our trip a memorable one

Gobustan park and mud volcanoes - Novel trip. Gobustan pteroglyphs are unique. So are the Mud volcanoes. Both rarely seen and knew n close proximity to Baku. Don't miss.

Fun Gobustan tour - This tour was a lot of fun! We saw the mud volcanoes and reached them via off-roading in old cars. Not for the faint of heart! The petroglyphs were interesting but we were running late and it was so hot that we rushed that part of the tour. Mamed was a good guide and kept the group together well but had to manage multiple guests speaking different languages. The tour would probably be smoother if the guide could just use one language.
