Fabolous. - I took the Gobustan - Absheron tour last Friday 26th. It was one of the tours that was on mu bucket list, hence was very looking forward to it. It exceeded my expectations in all manners. Our tour guide, Solmaz, when into details and info, making it more worth such tour. She answered all our quires/questions. I take he opportunity to give a big applause and thanks to Solmaz, as well our driver, basically the whole team.

Baku tour service is best👍👍 - Sometimes right things just come across you without asking. Same thing happened with me. I was walking on nizami street and one guy showed me booklet of baku tours. I went to talk to his manager which turned out to be an indian. His name is Dewang Patel. Firstly it was easy for me to communicate with him as he was india. Secondly he offered us reasonable prices for shahdag tour and gobustan tours that we cannot refuse. Above all he was so gentle and flexible with everything . Best guy in service. Also i cannot forget to thank dewang to provide us such a helpful driver. His name is Vusol. He was such a generous and gentleman throughout the tour . We liked him so much that for sor airport transfer we specifically demanded dewang to send vusol. He was the only guy who dint ask for any tip in baku. Thank you dewang for making our trip a memorable one

Amazing Experience - We had the pleasure of touring the historic Gabala and Mud Volcanoes and it was an unforgettable experience. Specially because of our tour guide Yashar, his knowledge was not only deep but also engagingly presented, making history come alive for us. He was incredibly patient and accommodating, always willing to answer questions and adjust the pace to suit our needs. The tour was well-organized, comprehensive, and, thanks to Yashar, deeply enriching. We came away with a newfound appreciation for Azerbaijan rich heritage and can't recommend Yashar highly enough as a guide.

Great tour for sights around Baku - Had a great time at the Gobustan, yanar dag etc. Tour with our tour guide Zaur. He was very informative about historical and religious background information at the different stops without being too exhaustive. The stops also provide a nice variety throughout all the centuries. The tour provides a perfect opportunity to see all sights outside of Baku's historic center.

Private Tour - My private tour guide, Ruslan, was an amazing host and extremely knowledgeable. He picked me up from my hotel promptly at the agreed time and safely drove me to all of the sites included in this tour. He shared many educational facts along the way, which was greatly appreciated. The lunch stop was wonderful…I asked Ruslan to order for me and he did not disappoint. If you have the better part of a day available then I highly recommend this tour. For reference, I took this tour in August and it was extremely hot (above 40C) at Gobustan, so be sure to hydrate ahead of time and bring water (Ruslan also stopped for more water once I ran out of what I brought).

Outstanding Experience!!! - Shah was my tour guide for the day and he was truly amazing. I really felt like I hired a friend for the day. He was very nice and accommodating. He was professional yet very friendly and easily to get along with. His knowledge of the history and the museums we visited was incomparable. His insight was incredible and this truly allowed him to provide the best tour of such a beautiful country. If i plan on visiting Azerbaijan again and if available I would definitely request SHAH.

Fun Gobustan tour - This tour was a lot of fun! We saw the mud volcanoes and reached them via off-roading in old cars. Not for the faint of heart! The petroglyphs were interesting but we were running late and it was so hot that we rushed that part of the tour. Mamed was a good guide and kept the group together well but had to manage multiple guests speaking different languages. The tour would probably be smoother if the guide could just use one language.
