Amazing historical tour. A lot of driving but this is what it is. Naz is the most passionate and knowledgeable guide I have met.

with our guide Seyidaga, and honestly it was a great experience. He is very knowledgeable, friendly, and explains everything in a clear and interesting way. He didn’t rush us at all and made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the tour. What I really liked is that he shared not only historical facts but also local stories, which made the places feel more alive. He was patient, helpful, and always ready to answer questions. Thanks to Seyidaga, the trip felt relaxed, informative, and memorable. I highly recommend him to anyone visiting Baku and nearby attractions

Seyidağa is a great tour guide! He knows the history of Azerbaijan to great detail. He kept me informed about each item at every location and when traveling between sites he explained the history of Azerbaijan. The mud volcanoes were cool and the Lada car ride there was exciting!! The rock art was very interesting and be sure to take pictures, my camera saw the figures better than my eyes. We stopped at the oldest oil well between sites, a lot of history here. The Fire Temple is very interesting and Seyidağa knows everything about it. It was nice to warmup next to the fires! Fire Mountain is a one of a kind spot, I’m sure that might be the only place on earth that has fires coming from the ground! Maga is a professional driver and will get you there safely. The food at the Fire Temple was excellent, they have a large selection too. I hope you enjoy your tour as much as I did!! You can’t go wrong with this group!!!

It was an extraordinary experience that made us discover the history of Azerbaijan. From the pretriglyphs of Gabustan to the mountain of fire.

The trip was really interesting and informative. Our guide, Oguz, was outstanding. He answered all the questions and was very nice with everyone. The vehicle was comfortable, there were Russian speaking and English speaking groups, and the guides managed both without interrupting each other.
