Gobustan, mud volcano and fire temple day trip from Baku - One of the best group tours we have done during our vacation. The combination of sites covered is awesome for anyone who likes historical sites and cultural centers and UNESCO world heritage sites. What made this trip great was the detailed commentary by our guide Reza who has good knowledge of Azerbaijan history and historical and cultural significance of these sites. This trip provided a good perspective on the culture of this country and what this country has to offer apart from its Capital Baku. Thanks Reza and team for this wonderful experience.

Not to be missed - Excellent Polyglot Guide & never a dull moment. - A memorable and fun Tour in a not so comfortable Sprinter Van(mostly cos we had the last seat) , albeit excellent driver. We had a full day tour: Oil wells ,Mosque, Mud Volcanoes Gobustan, Absheron petroglyphs , Fire Hill and Fire Temple with a traditional lunch.
The Tour was flawless and never a dull moment throughout - Reza the intellectually inclined Polyglot is an extraordinary Guide with tons of knowledge to keep you intrigued and involved from start to end.
Would do it all over again - Azerbaijanis in general have been nothing short of warm, welcoming and kind no matter where. Be it the restaurants, locals on their walks at the corniche, hotel staff, waiters & taxi drivers all have been wonderful.
My Tour Baku was true value for price - they were professional, courteous and well organised.
Big Shout to Reza and the team . See you guys soon !

Exceptional tour with lots of historical and cultural information about Baku! - Exceptional tour!
Reza was an exceptional guide and attentive to the needs of every single tour participant.
Reza showed us several wonderful places in Baku, from the first oil well in world history to the Mountain of Fire.
The tour, which also included a stop at the restaurant, lasted almost 10 hours, starting at 9am and ending at 7pm, return time.

Wonderful experience on the Combo Tour - We did the Combo tour to Gobustan, Mud Volcanoes, Burning Mountain. We visited also a temple and a famous mosque in the near of Baku. I would highly recommend the tour. Everything was well organized, a comfortable van, driving to the mid volcanoes is really an experience. Our guide Reza was amazing, he knew answers to every question. The included lunch was very tasty.

Good experience for a 1st time traveler! - The tour is worth it for a day trip. Its just too hot during the day, it would be really nice on a cooler weather.
The food offering at lunch should be improved.
