Our guide, ElΓ§in picked us from our hotel in the morning and we drove out of the city. Views from the top were nice and it was educating to see all the rock arts. The Ashetegah temple is a must visit. Vivek November 16, 2022
Great tour organised by Fuad to the ancient sites to witness stone age petroglyphs and mud volcanoes. It takes a 45 min journey one way to get there from Baku. Danny L March 29, 2023
If you think Azerbaijan is a young, uninteresting country which is just all about producing oil, and has no history or culture, think again. Of the 3 countries in between the Black and Caspian seas, it is probably the least visited, but, in my book, that can only be a good thing. Azerbaijan is one of the most underrated places I've ever been, and this tour will explain why. You will visit a beautiful mosque, mud pits which, unlike those at the dead sea bubble constantly, neolithic petroglyphs, the last remaining fire mountain which never goes out, and the fire temple inside the caravanserai at Atashgah. you also drive past the oldest oil wells in the world...who knew. Taking you around will be the very unassuming, softly-spoken, Kurt Cobain look-alike, Adil, who was obviously incredibly knowledgeable but was not obsessed with the sound of his own voice, or showing off, god love him. I thoroughly recommend this trip, as a person who is not really into guided tours, and, like everything else in Azerbaijan, its cheap as chips. On a European safety note...Azerbaijani drivers hardly ever wear seat belts, and use their phones, or chat constantly while driving. when I put on a seat belt in a taxi in Baku, the driver looked like I had just insulted him.π€£ but....really if you are looking at this, you must be thinking of going. in the world of Nike....just do it. lushchica April 12, 2023
We had a private family tour organised by Guided Azerbaijan to Baku sights, Gobustan and Absheron region. The driver and tour guide arrived at our hotel on time, the minivan was nice, clean and comfortable. We visited the Gobustan Rock art, also having a nice detailed tour at the centre. We stopped by the Mud volcanoes another interesting site! The Fire temple, Fire Mountain were very interesting! I really recommend the tour with Guided Azerbaijan! Thanks for organising!
