        Take this tour
        Me and my girlfriend took this tour without knowing what to expect but we ended up really enjoying ourselves. The locations that we visited had a clear and interesting history which was fun to learn about. As well as the sites themselves, the success of the tour was down to our 5 star guide, Zaur. Friendly and knowledgeable, he brought a relaxed atmosphere to the day and sent us away with new knowledge of the zoroastrians and Azerbaijan in general.

        A Truly Remarkable Day with a Truly Remarkable Guide
        On discovering my train the next day out of Baku was leaving much later than originally expected I was in a quandary! What on earth could one do to fill out a whole day? A tour would be nice, however as I was a solo traveler on a microscopic budget a VIP private tour was well and truly out of the question. To complicate matters further as it was late I wouldn’t be able to ask my hotel to arrange anything. Thus I found myself turning to Viator to see if there were any group tours that could be joined last minute. A quick search unearthed this option ran by “amazing Azerbaijan” which sounded perfect! A morning excursion that included both the burning mountain, the fire temple and lunch for very budget friendly price, what more could you ask for! I booked and then headed out down to the cafe that ran in conjunction with my hotel to while away an hour or so with friend. On getting back to my room late that night I discovered a series of messages from Zaur, owner of the company. As I was the only one who had booked a tour for that day he gave me a list of options, one of which was to turn the tour in to a VIP tour for a small fee. The 3 figure price tags of some of the Viator VIP tours flashed before my eyes and I hesitantly, more from curiosity then anything else, asked how much it would be thinking I wouldn’t not get an answer back as it was approaching 10pm. Imagine my surprise when an answer came through with in a minute or two and the figure Zaur quoted could easily be mistaken for pocket change. Needless to say choice was now a no brainer! Thus it was all arranged and a pick up time for 10am in the morning was organised. When I met up with him he next day Zaur informed me that after our correspondence another person had booked the slightly longer tour which also involved the mud volcanos and Gobstan and I was more than welcome to extend my trip to a whole day tour and include these as well if I wished. I wished! I have to say, hand on heart, booking a tour with Amazing Azerbaijan was one of the best decisions I made on my entire trip. The sights on the tour were nothing short of remarkable. From the mystic beauty of the fire temple to the other worldly landscape of the mud volcanos and the timeless stillness of Gobstan ( which we had practically all to our selves since it was close to closing time) it truly was a remarkable tour and I could easily wax lyrical about it for many paragraphs to come! However I will refrain from doing so, dear reader, so that you have the opportunity to experience these remarkable sight yourself afresh. However, even the most amazing destinations are nothing if you don’t have remarkable guide. In Zaur one finds, with out question, a remarkable guide! He is kind, courteous and professional ( with excellent English) which means that apart from being extremely knowledgeable he is also a genuine delight to be around and made the long day fly by. I really can not thank him enough! I sincerely hope this will be just the first of many more tour I have the pleasure of taking with Amazing Azerbaijan whenever I am next in Baku.

        The best guide ever
        We had a group tour with people from different countries and we went on this tour. It was amazing since it was the first time I saw a burning mountain. Also the fire temple really bewildered me. Because the guide was indeed knowledgable and told us about the history of all religions practiced there: hinduism zoroastrianism and sikhs. I genuinely recommend this to everyone willing to come to Azerbaijan!!!

        Don't you want a perfect trip?
        Thanks to all the team for an organized and awesome trip.If you want to see a unique and interesting thing you have to visit Burning Mountain & Fire Temple. I have known Zaur and Nofal for 2 years. They are not the only tour guide, they are also your friend while a trip. One of the reasons, I chose "Amazing Azerbaijan". Thanks to them, they explained to us the history of this place. I learned many things. I mean that you don't only travel, you also learn something. Consequently, I appreciated their teamwork and I advise everyone to join. Thanks for everything, Amazing Azerbaijan.

        Great Day Tour, Excellent Guide! Amazing Memories 🥰
        Wanting to see Azerbaijan beyond the city-limits of Baku, we booked a day trip with Zaur and his driver mid-way through our stay. They arrived promptly at our hotel on the morning in a luxurious Mercedes Vito mini-bus, fully equipped with comfortable seating, air conditioning, wi-if and curtains. Immediately we hit it off with Zaur, who was full of energy and enthusiasm for the day ahead. Zaur made us feel really welcome, very comfortable and shared much of his knowledge about beautiful Azerbaijan throughout the day. We could set the pace and at no point did we feel pressurised for time. We had many stop offs including Gobustan and Ateshgah and throughout Zaur told us stories from the past and present - we had a truly amazing and memorable day. Zaur’s English is impeccable and his knowledge of the language, history of the UK and his socio-economic knowledge both outstanding and fascinating. Throughout the day our conversations gave us insights not only into the history of Azerbaijan, but of wider civilisations in the region. I can’t recommend taking a trip with Zaur and his team highly enough. I wish them all the very best for their endeavours going forward.

        Perfect Experience
        If you wish to savour actuality fantastic thing about the chain of mountains, you have got to incorporate this tour in your itinerary. we have a tendency to were awestricken by the sweetness of the Caucasus encompassing the village Khinalig. The curving road leading towards the village alone is gonna take your breath away. the opposite highlight of the trip was a visit to the house of worship. Our guide explained however one will see the house of worship from standing before of the house of worship from one facet of the watercourse and at the constant time the house of worship is often seen from the opposite facet of the watercourse if you interchange front of the house of worship. That symbolizes the unity and tolerance of Azerbaijani culture. that actually emotional me! In today’s world, we'd like such qualities to be imbibed in cultures. we have a tendency to conjointly visited the winter house of worship and that we received a really heat welcome. Our hearts were very stuffed with feeling when this tour.

      I booked this tour a few weeks in advance hoping that the weather conditions for my chosen date will be pleasant. It was my last day in Azerbaijan before going to Tbilisi.

      The day before the tour, weather forecasts for Baku and it’s surrounding regions predict snow and sleet with strong winds up to 55 kph. Zaur contacted me to suggest if I want to do the tour the day after. I explained to him that said date is going to be my last day. He offered some options for me to consider until tue next morning. He was very helpful and understanding of my situation. I proceeded with the tour amidst miserable weather.

      When I met Zaur, he was full of energy and enthusiasm. His bubbly personality hyped me up and made me feel excited for the tour ahead. I gave him the liberty to geek out on me and provide any information he could think of... he did not disappoint.) He’s very passionate about history, culture and geography, and I was able to tell that he really loves what he does. The tour is jam-packed with interesting and fascinating facts about Absheron and Gobustan, it didn’t feel rushed, and if it weren’t for the freezing weather, this would have been a step higher than *perfect*. Zaur expressed himself very well and delivered all the information completely and entertainingly. He even went out of his way and showed me a piece of the real, down-to-earth Baku before introducing me to one of the best spots to have Khengel (Azerbaijani dumplings).

      This tour completed my perfect (and disappointingly very short) stay in Azerbaijan. I would highly recommend this and I wish all the best for Zaur and Amazing Azerbaijan. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

      We had a wonderful day trip led by Zaur. We got to see all the highlights around Baku for a very reasonable price. We also had a nice buffet lunch. I'm not sure I can pick my favourite part of the tour but particularly loved the rock art at Gobustan and the ride in an old Lada up to the mud volcanoes.

      But what really made the trip special was our guide, Zaur. He was so friendly, knowledgeable, and had impeccable communication skills. He gave us plenty of information on all the places we were visiting, but we also learned so much chatting to him about life in Azerbaijan.

      Definitely one of the best trips, with the best guide, I've ever had the pleasure of going on. Highly recommended.

      Our tour guide was Zach who was very informative, friendly and knowledgeable. His English was excellent and the whole group had a wonderful time. Mud volcanoes were the best part. We got picked up at 8.45am and back in the hotel at 16.30.

      Top tip: bring an umbrella, toilet paper and wear comfy shoes.

      This was a fantastic tour, and I enjoyed every moment of it! The sights truly are incredible - different than anything you will see in most places around the world. Everyone in the group was great, and the guide was kind, knowledgeable, and fun. I enjoyed spending my day on this tour, and I was sad when it was over. I want to especially mention how great Zaur is - there is no one better in Azerbaijan with whom to spend time and see the city. He is amazing! I very strongly recommend this tour.

      What a wonderful trip. We thoroughly enjoyed the natural burning mountain and the mud volcanos in particular - although I wanted to go in but realised I would come out still the same colour!! We did extract some mud, which we hope to sell on the black market for a few sheets when we return back home.

      My wife had an amazing time at the restaurant. The first thing she did was find and use the toilet. Full marks here - she was able to utilise the facilities to work out at the same time as shedding her load - squatting over the hole in the ground to achieve a nice mound. She was also delighted with the food although she would have liked to use the facilities again at the restaurant before leaving. In fact - I would recommend international travellers fly out just to experience these amazing toilets!

      The whole day was a great experience and Tariq was extremely knowledgeable. I have to say we could not have had a better guide. Hats off to Tariq who looked after us throughout and gave us great information and knowledge. Tariq had a dream to go to the States - I can only wish him the best and hope we bump into you again one day and share some mud from those volcanos!

      I very much enjoyed the day tour of Gobustan and Absheron. The petroglyphs of Gobustan, the mud volcanoes, the Fire Temple and the continuously burning natural gas fire sites were amazing. Tour guide Zac was very knowledgeable and thorough in showing us all the sites. He was especially very good in explaining the emergence of various religions in Azerbaijan and the details related to the fire temple. The tour van and the lunch stop were very good. I highly recommend this tour.
