Sardar, our guide/driver for the day proved to be an excellent companion. His English was very good, and he was able to answer all our questions, in addition to being a safe driver. The 4x4 drive to the mud Volcanoes was a lot of fun, and we enjoyed the visit to the Bibi-Heybat mosque.
Serdar was friendly, warm and informative. Whilst we enjoyed the tour and got to see a lot of things, I felt that a some of it was a bit limited, I was disappointed that we just walked around a track and looked at a few mud bubbles at the mud volcanoes. Nothing much to see. When I first was looking at Azer as trip destination, you could get right up close to these. But that was nothing to do with the tour, just my expectations.
Very informative and fun day. Exceptional guide and driver. Felt like a day out with friend but learnt so much.
We had an amazing experience on the Gobustan Mud Volcanoes, Fire Temple, and Fire Mountain group tour with Bag Baku Tour. The itinerary was well planned with plenty of time to enjoy each site without feeling rushed. Communication before and during the tour was excellent, making the whole trip smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Baku!
Was a good experience to this tour. Missed the mud volcanos due to the rains, so avoid booking this tour if there is a rain predicted, bcoz they don’t refund the money in this case. Although the guide is good and professional. Better to look at the weather predictions for next few days before booking this tour.
Hello there! I think there is a misunderstanding and you posted a review under a different tour agency. Are you sure you booked a tour with Bag Baku Tour? Maybe it was just Baku tour or some different tour agency?
Awesome experience. Our Guide Mr. Valeh is gem of a person. Got a good knowledge about all the places, a great photographer and made us so comfortable in all ways. Highly recommend him
We enjoyed every minute of the trip. Our tour guide was very kind, he satisfied all our requests. We had many nice experiences. We recommend it to everyone
All the places we visited were very interesting. The guide was unfortunately not well trained and inexperienced. He offered very little information and on parts of the drive, was asleep. Nice guy but tour guiding is not for him.
Hi there! Considering every other review mentions the guide's proffesionalism I think you wrote a review under a wrong tour operator's product. Could you please mention the guide's name ? We have checked our booking history but did not find a booking under your name. We would appreciate if you could remove your review and write it under the tour you've booked. Regards, Bag Baku Tour.
We take the tour to gobustan mud volkanos, petroglif and fire 🔥 temple with the guide Wale. He was very kind , as a archeologist dr he is full with knowledge , very tolerent to our questions and try his best to make the tour interesting. We enjoyed a lot.
From start to finish, our tour was equal parts interesting, personal, and entertaining. Valeh, our guide, kept things clear and concise while also allowing for the nuance of history to seep in. We did the full day tour because our schedule was tight, which made for a long day, but Valeh made it a good time. Incredibly exciting to learn about the many layers of Azerbaijan’s complex history.
