This was a worthwhile visit, museum was very informative and had lovely design of rooms. We got from our guide, amazing information about the prehistoric life and people. After that with taxi visited to mud vulcanoes, it was rainy day but we agreed on payment and went there. Because, when my friends visited there, they said me that you must do it. Then I saw why they said like that. Very attractive mud vulcanoes and had good experience with russian cars. rickyhulk November 23, 2019
Me and my friends decide to take another tour from this company. Fuad didn't came. He sent to us brilliant guide. Guide name was Emin and driver Ramil. Both were very friendly, professional and flexible during the tour. He took us to Gobustan. Museum was so crowded, that's why we started from Rocky Mountains. What a view!!!! Lovely scenery and breathtaking view..You'll admire it. All stones, majority of those stones, you can be able to see the paintings, belongs to thousands yrs ago. We enjoyed the our tour. Highly recommend to take a Gobustan Tour! Bernard g November 24, 2019

I booked the Gobustan tour for me and my family, we drove around 1 hour to reach to area. The Gobustan is an important archaeological site. Guide showed some of the varied landscapes. Gobustan itself, has a number of stone carving/inscriptions, if you enjoy archaeological history then its a pleasant experience. Bibiheybat mosque was fantastic place for us. This place is mosque was built over the tomb of the daughter of the Imam Musa al-Kazim and Sister of Imam Ali al-Ridha.It is beautiful mosque and have great view of the sea and the monutain. burhan a December 15, 2019
