I had an amazing experience with our tour guide, Said. He is incredibly kind, patient, and always ready to help with anything you need. If there’s ever a problem, he personally makes sure it’s solved. Since he’s a local from Azerbaijan, his knowledge about the country is exceptional — from history to culture to hidden gems. Said is not only professional but also a genuinely good-hearted person. I highly recommend choosing him as your tour guide. He made our trip unforgettable. Thank you, my brother, for your kindness and support throughout the tour! 🙏✨

Mahabbat was an excellent tour guide. Unfortunately the traditional mud volcano tour was cancelled due to rain, but they pivoted to mud volcano museum tour, which was also excellent.

The trip was excellent, time management was very good. We were given reasonable time at each site to fully explore. The guide “Mehebbet” was excellent and knowledgeable.

Excellent experience for a family with small children. Adventurous as well as educational. The best day we had at Baku, by far.

I enjoyed the tour of historic archeological and religious sites. The mud volcanoes and fire temple were particularly meaningful. Mahabat was a knowledgeable and affable guide who kept us on track and well on schedule on the (many) stops along the way. I definitely felt that I hit all the hot spots (pun intended) in a limited time to explore this beautiful city and surrounds.

I had an unforgettable experience on the BEST Gobustan, Volcanoes & Absheron Fire Tour! The tour perfectly combined history, nature, and stunning landscapes, from Gobustan’s ancient rock carvings to the mud volcanoes and the Fire Temple. Everything was very well-organized, and our guide, Seyidaga, was exceptional, extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and attentive, making the entire experience even more memorable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore the best of Azerbaijan in a day.
