I booked a short tour to Gobustan National Park and the mud volcanoes with Fuad. He got in touch with me as soon as I had booked the tour and was readily available to help plan things or answer questions. Heโs very sweet and full of positive energyโhe keeps the tour lively! Be prepared to be quizzed on the information he tells you ;) Thanks Fuad for a nice morning! Sara H October 17, 2019

Gobustan is a historical landmark near Baku and I think I selected the best uncommon trip. The tour guide Emin and driver Cavid, both did a good job. Emin is a talkative and nice guy and took care of me & my family. After Gobustan we took a russian taxi to reach to Mud Volcanos. Bubbles of mud volcanoes, it will make you excited. Highly recommended! Muthu Khumar 2 November 14, 2019
Another day, we decided to visit to Qobustan. On the evening we back from region, it was tiring but we were very energetic to take the another tour and we did. Qobustan is far away from city around 1 hour. But guide and driver both did good job, that's why road was not boring for us. Really appreciated it. We tried to go firstly mud volcanoes, when we reach there already drivers were waiting for us, it means it shows professionalizm. After mud we went to the museum and mountain with full of paintings. Highly recommended!! tammy489 November 16, 2019
