Gobustan Tour

Before my wife and I made our trip to Azerbaijan, I contacted this company about arranging a couple of private day trips outside of Baku. Fuad was very responsive, and contacted me almost immediately on Whatsapp and by e-mail. He provided several options, including with airport transfers. We decided to do a full-day tour of Gobustan (petroglyphs, mud volcanoes) and Absheron (Fire Temple, Fire Mountain) on one day, which is part of their standard offerings. We also wanted to see something of the Caucasus mountains, and although they usually offer a trip to Gabala, we were interested in Guba and Khinalig, and he said he could arrange something for us there. For the Gobustan and Absheron trip, Fira was our guide and Tair, who also met us at the airport, was our driver...both were really friendly, helpful, and informative, and we enjoyed our day with them. It was good to go with them on a tour for these sites, as it would have been very difficult for us to reach these places without a guide and driver. The trip to the mountains via Guba does not seem to be part of the company's standard tour packages though, and was a bit more improvised. The driver and his friend (both off-duty police officers, it turned out ,who spoke a little English, but could also communicate with us in Russian), were friendly and helpful, but their job was mainly to get us where we were going and back, which they did safely. The high-elevation mountain scenery an hour outside of Guba was spectacular and worth seeing, but be prepared: unless you make reservations for a home-stay, hiking trip, meal or something similar in the small shepherd's village of Khinalig, you will basically arrive, look around a little bit, and then get back in your car and head down the mountain. Having said that, I was glad we could get even this brief glimpse of these mountains, and appreciated that our driver was friendly, good and safe. Overall, we had a good time in Azerbaijan, and were glad that Guide Azerbaijan could help us experience some of the country outside of Baku. Brad B July 30, 2018

I made contact with Guided Azerbaijan just the day before I wanted a tour and Murad was able to create a great private tour for me...we visited the mud volcanos, Gobustan museum and site, then went for tea Azerbaijan style. Murad was always checking in with me and accommodating. He is informative and I learned far more from his explanations than if I had visited these sites alone-even in the museum...in addition his photography and capturing of videos - to capture my memories - was fantastic! Highly recommended. Roddy23 May 19, 2019

We did a 2 hour walking tour and a half day tour of Gobastan - both with Naira as our guide. The tours were great .. Baku and Gobastan are both amazing. Amazing history combined with stunning nature. Naira was a great guide and we had a lot of fun with her leading us around. She is very knowledgeable and is clearly very passionate about her country. Loved the Lada drive to the mud volcanoes! The tour company was very professional and responsive to all our needs. Great company that I will definitely use again when we're in Baku next. Scott M June 3, 2019
