- Very nice trip, really enjoyed it, and Leyla is also a superb guide. Trip was worth the money, I can recommend it, even if you have only a short stay in Baku, you will still see quite a few things.

best way to explore the history of you only have one day outside Baku - very interesting and well organized way to get to know Baku’s most popular surroundings together with an excellent guide, Musa. originally we book half-day trip, but he was telling so many interesting things, our group was small and quiet so we decided to extend it to a full day experience. listening to him, his knowledge but also real interest in our (participants) live and countries was exquisite. the places itself super interesting, it’s a sin to be in Baku and not seeing them!

Fantastic Day Trip with Ruslan and Baku City Tours! - We had a fantastic experience with Baku City Tours on the Gobustan & Absheron Tour! The itinerary was well-paced, covering the ancient petroglyphs, bubbling mud volcanoes, and the highlights of the Absheron Peninsula. Our guide, Ruslan, was excellent: super friendly, well-informed, and clearly passionate about Azerbaijani history and culture. He made the day both fun and educational, with great local tips and insights throughout. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Baku!

Fantastic Experience - The day was really well planned and our guide Musa was fantastic. He was friendly, spoke really good English, and was extremely knowledgeable about every location we went to. It was definitely worth staying for the full day rather than just doing a half day. Some people missed the afternoon and the activities in that were really enjoyable. It’s great value for money if you’re in Baku and want to explore the region’s history.

Best Tour Guide Experience Ever! - From the very beginning, our guide Leyla proved to be an exceptional tour guide. Her storytelling didn't just inform us about the places we visited - it truly made us get a feeling of the place. She engaged with everyone individually and created such a friendly and energetic atmosphere within the group, so much so that we felt completely at ease throughout. We are truly grateful to her. It was a wonderful Gobustan experience, and we sincerely hope she will be our guide on all future tours! 😄

Good day to spend a day in Baku - Overall a good tour and Musa the tour guide did a great job considering he was doing it in 3 languages!! We covered a fair bit in this tour and the history, anecdotes and background covered were sufficient. However, it was extremely hot towards the end of the day and maybe an hour or two less would have been good enough.

Good and comprehensive tour of the neighborhood around Baku - Good and extensive tour of the surrounding area around Baku. Especially fun to drive Lada and see the mud volcanoes. At times a little whispering and the guide spoke very quickly.
