The tour was amazing covering sightseeing spots outside of the city. The tour guide, Faud was very caring and made sure that we were having a great time. He welcomed any questions and answered to questions throughly. Highly recommend this tour!
Great Day trip from Baku as part of our visit to Azerbaijan. We were taken by Elcin and Nazir. The tour started at Fire Temple and Fire Mountain and then we headed to Gobustan along with a visit at Gobustan museum. Elcin is very knowledgeable about all the sites and we learned a lot. A must-have experience! Highly recommended if you are visiting Azerbaijan.
Had a great day trip was much better going private than a group. Mud mountains def worth visiting & the guide was very nice & friendly & took me to the flame towers on the way home as I hadn’t been. Fairly expensive but wouldn’t be for a family/group.
A great way to spend half the day by visiting the ancient archaeological sites of the ghobustan plane. It was really interesting to see the sights and the places that were once used by ancient people. My tour guide Naira was soo helpful by explaining each and every thing on the tour. Thanks Lamia for arranging such an amazing tour!!
Great tour, the guide was very friendly and had an enthusiasm for the local area. I was expecting a bit more from the mud volcanos themselves considering they are considered a notable landmark, they weren't that impressive but the museum and petroglyphs also on the tour were fascinating. We only had 36 hours in the country on transit, so if you only have a short time here then this is a great way to spend half a day!
