The trip was great. 😊... - The trip was great. 😊 Touring with Laman was a real pleasure. The places we visited, such as Yanar Dag or Gobustan Rock Art, were fascinating. Our guide was very communicative and kind. She told us a lot about these places and took many beautiful photos of us. Another advantage was the small group size.

We went on a day trip... - We went on a day trip from Baku to Gobustan/Mud Volcanos (with a Lada race)/Burning mountains etc and we had an unbelievable experience! Our tour guide Castiel is an incredible historian and gave a thoroughly interesting tour - we would highly recommend requesting him to be your tour guide! He was extremely knowledgable of every aspect of the tour, and his passion for the history. Experience is incredible and the history we learnt from having a tour guide was amazing - we would highly recommend having a tour as there is so much history you learn that you wouldn’t if you didn’t have a tour guide Castiel.

My experience - I always think that if you go abroad, especially to the country you didn’t visit before, you have to learn the history or culture(ps. I’m always like this). I did the same in Azerbaijan, and loved it amazing arrangement, thanks to our guide, and also thanks for creating unforgettable memories!
