Super tour - My trip to Baku, Gobustan and Absheron was like being immersed in another world. In Gobustan, I stood in awe in front of ancient cave paintings, imagining life years ago. History and nature seemed to come alive before my eyes. A truly unforgettable experience)))!

Good - Our tour guide was Murat was he was great, funny and full of facts, learnt a lot about the history of Baku and the land. Just be aware there is a hidden cost going to gobustan as you have to pay extra to get a cab up to the top, and the driver harasses you for a tip.

It not worth the money I paid - The agent guy and the our guide are very helpful,and eay to communicate,they are very kind person.The full-day tour was just so so, but I thought it would be arranged more reasonable,because you had to across the Baku city several times,and the traffic there was terrible and awful, we spent one hour on a short small road,and our lunch time was 4pm.
The price,the price online was too high compared the price you paid local.I flight Baku that morning,so I had no chance to book local.I met two persons from my country,they booked local, 15dollar per person,I paid 55dollar online, it said the fee contained all entry fee.No,No,No, I still paid the taxi fee to mud volcano.So the additional 40dollar I paid mean nothing,just was cheated by the online price.
And I knew why the score was so high online,when our trip nearly finished,our guide asked and begged everyone to give five star review online,and he photoed and sent to the company.He was really excellent, told us everything we wanted to know about Baku,and very helpful,patient,kind.But I didn't agree the way his company forced him to beg five star review from customer.To him,I was willing to give 100 star,I was satisfied with him.But to the whole trip, considered the additional 40dollars I paid for nothing, it was far from good and satisfaction.
It was not worth 55dollars, never.
