Excellent half-day trip to Gobustan
From the second day we had another guide and his name was Nurlan. Until end of our vacation he been with us. He was amazing and super informative. Driver was very friendly and professional on the road. We went to Gobustan Museum, Petroglyphs on rocky mountains and used the old lada car to reach out Mud Volcanos. It was one of the best part of our life to see the very unique thing. Highly recommended! Helmut T December 16, 2019

Informative and enjoyable half day nature/historical tour
Our family with two teenagers had a great day visiting first mud volcanoes than the Gobustan museum and rock arts mountain park. The kids enjoyed the volcanoes most. Our guide Elshan was very attentive and informative. He gave us extensive information not only about the main topics but on many other things from history and culture of Azerbaijan, including even some suggestions on good dining. Highly recommended.
