Interesting pictures on the rock
This is an important archaeological site for Azerbaijan. On my visit to Gobustan, I saw a lot of busses, children, group of hunred people... I waited little, then started my tour from the museum, it was so cool and informative site for me. Gobustan itself, has a number of stone carvings, if you enjoy archaeological history then its a pleasant experience. Guide Orkan took me to mud vulcanoes with his car. It was bumpy roads. But, I am happy that I so the mud on there. Majority of them it was active. Overall about this tour: lovely, historical, interesting for all people, unique (mud) and exciting roads. Recommended to all tourists, but with guide for information. lornskie d November 17, 2019

Must See
It is far from Baku 1 hour. it is really worth to see. A very special site located on rocks which were collapsed, regarding a huge earthquake. But still remains keeping well and giving the guest the right feeling of those time period. The site has many stones, inside empty - called name drum stone(gabal stone). You can visit to mud volcanoes. Thank you very much for the organizing. kurt s November 18, 2019

Interesting rock carvings
We took a Gobustan tour. This was a worthwhile visit to there. We didn't have much knowledge about the meaning behind the stone drawings, our guide explained the all part of the site. It was fascinating and worth learning more about it. We also visited to mud volcanoes area, some of them had bubbles. Well worht a visit. rahul s November 21, 2019
