It Was an interesting tour. I learnt a lot at Gobustan stone art, I loved visiting the Zoroastrism temple and museum. It did not particularly like the tour guide, there was an unwilling to help make photos and a disdain for what he deemed "tourist behaviour". Go on this tour if tou really love nature, history and culture, it is not a fancy tour but educative.
The tour was okay, little bit stressed by the tour guide even if we have enough time. Spots are nice, well planned.
Brilliant tour. Our guide was very knowledgable and kept us entertained throughout the day tour. Highly recommend this trip and operator.
Guide was flexible about changing Mud Volcano Museum to Mud Volcano visit which was the highlight of the tour despite the rough drive there. Good day out
Our tour guide's name was mahabat. He was well informed and an expert at his job. Our experience was good and it was a great time that we can look back on fondly.
It was simply amazing and the trip was worth what you pay for. The Lada drivers in Gobustan demands tips with compulsion, which I don't feel as right, because we already pay them extra for the trip. And any extra tip should be given from customer's heart and not by compulsion. Rest everything was fine.
The programme is perfectly balanced between natural wonders, history and culture. However we got a guide who was less attentive than knowledgeable.
Samir is a great guide with a lot of experience! We learned a lot from him in Gobustan and at Ateshgah fire temple!
I've rarely been experienced a local tour well planned like this. Great locations, perfect timing, comfortable transfers, right prices, amazing and solid-skilled guide. I totally suggest to everyone in Baku.
This is great out of some of the more popular activities around Baku.Samir was a wonderful tour guide with deep knowledge of the tour sites.
