Amazing guide - The guide, Mamed was extremely knowledgeable and explained everything to us patiently. We had some Russian guests with us and he took the time to explain in both English and Russian. Was a great trip that I would definitely recommend.

Baku Half Day Tour - Great half day trip of Baku including Gobustan and mud volcanos. The off road ride in a Lada was a particular highlight for me. And tour guide Leyla was amazing!

A wonderful experience - As a foreigner coming to Baku for the first time, this tour is definitely a must!!! You get to visit the beautiful Bibi Heyat Mosque, with beautiful view of the sea facing it. The tour includes a visit to the Gobustan National Park, which itself is a one of a kind experience given its rich medieval history and significance. The tour included us looking at mud volcanoes which guests could literally touch and play with!!! And this along with many more such as yanardag, and Ateshgah - are places that come with a huge culturally rich experience!!! all tickets were paid for and our guide Muhammad was especially so very helpful!!! The dude speaks five languages!!! So you’ll feel at home 🏠 wonderful experience ✨

Nice trip around Baku - Wonderful trip for the major spots around Baku. Vehicle was clean, and ride was smooth. Our guide Mr. Mahabat is knowledgeable and kind. He helped us beat the crowd at Qobustan Park and explained a lot to us. The ride to mud volcanoes was also quite fun. Would recommend this tour.

Well organized tour with a great guide - Excellent tour. Our guide, Mahabat, was great. He did the tour in English and Turkish and managed both audience effortlessly. He was friendly and was with us all the time to ensure we got the needed info about the site and also helped us stay on schedule. The sites we visited were also good. Some of the sites were too crowded and there is not much that can be done about it. It was well organized and we had a great day.

Great way to see these sights quickly! - We really enjoyed our tour with Mamed! He explained things well and the pacing of the tour was nice. This is a great way to quickly see these sights fast and conveniently. If you are looking to spend lots of time at each sight then maybe this isn’t the right tour for you.
The mud volcanoes were awesome and the drive there was super fun! Our only complaints were that the lunch, while it was very delicious, was clearly more expensive than what you would find in any other restaurant. Sometimes our guide spoke a little too fast and was hard to understand but he was always willing to answer questions.
I would recommend this tour!
