Yaxşı - First of all, all the sites are great to explore. 1 out of any 3 would worth touring for. Also, our guide Seyitaga was extremely fun, friendly and connecting. When we were out of the bus it was great sights. When we were inside it was a interactive standup show. Highly recommended whether you are solo like I was, or travelling with friends/family.

Superb experience to Gobustan with our guide Seyidaga! - Absolutely fantastic experience! We had an unforgettable trip to Gobustan, and a huge part of that was thanks to our amazing tour guide, Seyidaga. He was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the area and its history, but also brought so much humor and personality to the tour. We were laughing and learning the entire time! Seyidaga made the journey fun, engaging, and memorable. Highly recommend him to anyone looking to explore Gobustan—you won’t be disappointed! Five stars all the way!

This is the most... - This is the most touristic day tour in Baku. I wish we saw more of the mud volcanoes. You actually just stay around a museum exposing elephant skeletons and giving you little to no fact about the region. In other tours, people went further away around the volcanoes. Gobustan is overcrowded and disorganised. The restaurant is a random one located in a Baku suburb, the food was average but nothing spectacular. The stops at the Ashberon peninsula bring no add-ons to the tour, you can visit them by yourself using Bolt or public transport. Overall, we lost a lot of time at every stop because some people didn't prebook their tickets. The guide was ok but he didn't seem to enjoy his job. But I can't tell if the service is different with other companies since they all do the same tour with the same price.
