Very fun, interesting and amazing tour by Emilia. I was the only person of the English speaking group so I basically had a private tour. At every single destination and while transferring between destinations the guide tells lots of interesting facts and elaborates the story behind many things in Azerbaijan. You don't need to bring your own food or water, because everything is provided for. The food at the restaurant is also good. Thank you Emilia for the lovely "private" tour and an amazing day where I've learned a lot. Alex

If you want my opinion, i would recommend it. It was 100% worth it for our first time in Baku. Ty Vusala for such a nice tour!

Viator’s “All Inclusive” was not all inclusive at all. Misleading titled tour made me fork up another 52 Manat ( about $30 USD) for admissions and lunch. Tour itself was not bad at all.

It was a very good trip. The guide whose name was NAZ made me one special day in Azerbaijan. You should go with this company espcially the English guide NAZ. She really is enjoying her job and I learned a lot from her. I really wanted to go to other parts of Azerbaijan with her and this team, but the next day I had to go back to Korea. It is very hard to satisfy Koreans with services but I really really enjoyed it. Thank you =)

We saw so many places and our guide Aga, was very informative and funny. The off road ride to the mud volcanos was great. The meal was average though.

The tour was AMAZING! It was a long day, but definitely worth it. Our guide, Seyid was incredible! He has a lot of background knowledge and a great sense of humour. I would recommend this tour and Seyid as your guide.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent Gobustan–Absheron Tour with Vusala! We had an amazing day exploring Gobustan and the Absheron Peninsula with our guide, Vusala. She was professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable, explaining the history and culture behind every site — from ancient rock carvings and mud volcanoes to the Fire Temple and Burning Mountain. Her organization and timing were perfect, and she added a personal touch by patiently answering questions, taking great photos, and sharing fascinating local insights about Baku and Azerbaijani life. Thanks to her warmth and expertise, the tour was engaging, comfortable, and truly memorable. If you’re planning to visit Gobustan or Absheron, ask for Vusala — she’ll make your trip unforgettable!
