After a rocky start to... - After a rocky start to the tour getting and finding the meeting point, Reza, the guide conducted a brilliant tour. He has so much knowledge of history and religion and shared this with all of us in English and Russian. Really enjoyed the sites, especially the fire temple. I would have been really sad if I missed the tour. Highly recommend.

Gobustan, mud volcanoes, Yanardag tour with the brilliant Riyadh - I thoroughly enjoyed my day tour visiting Gobustan, Yanardag, the mud volcanoes and a beautiful mosque. I chose this particular tour because it was recommended to me by a friend. In fact it was the guide, Riyadh, who they recommended. He is an amazing guy! One of the most cultured and knowledgeable people I have ever met and I don’t think he’s even 30 yet!! He was so friendly and eager to share facts/stories about each place on the tour. The lunch they provide was delicious too. I would highly recommend this memorable day to anyone!

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.
