Absolutely wonderful trip from Baku .. - The tour to Gobustan, Absheron and other day trips were absolutely fantastic. Our guide Riyadh was simply amazing. He not only explained the rich history associated with the places but also took great care we do not leave any place.
Riyadh was a great guide, he engulfs all people and makes sure we get to know the places well.
The tour was very well planned and there was much to cover which we did brilliantly.
Keep up the good work.

Tour of Fire - Just had a fantastic day trip thanks to the amazing Riadh. He truly does his profession proud. He is a wealth of information and has a very good sense of humour. He simply made the trip fun and exciting. Learnt a lot about Azerbaijan, its culture and traditions. He made sure all of his guests were enjoying the trip and took great care of all of us. Can’t recommend enough! Thank you Riadh 🙏🏼🔥

What a wonderful experience - It was a wonderful experience! The places we visited are incredible, from the historical perspective (the first commercial oil well, the only Shia mosque in the country and the Zoroastrian temple are memorable) and naturalistically (Gobustan national park with its petroglyphs and the mud volcano are breathtaking). More importantly the atmosphere was super friendly thanks to Riyad, the guide. A very informative guide and I also met an amazing group of people!

Visit the surroundings of Baku - The tour was very complete with good value for money. The Ryad guide was very cultured and friendly. He tried to set a good mood although for my case I was suffering. The tour is interesting and allows you to see many things for a very reasonable price. Two remarks: the lunch is very good but a little light and without dessert, the visit to the temple of fire at the end of the day is to be deleted.
