        Great!
        Riad was such a lovely and enthusiastic guide! He had all the facts and took care of our well-being. 10/10 recommend. You could really see that he was into history and languages!

        Great trip with Sameer as tour guide
        Excellent tour. Our guide Sameer was exceptional. Look for him as tour guide. One of the best tours in Azerbaijan . The old oil wells are well preserved. Mud volcanoes were okay but not very exciting, the rock art place was fantastic. The lunch provided was good but average. The fire mountain and the fire temple were awesome. 5 minutes more time in each place would have been nice.

        Trip-Sheki
        “We had a wonderful trip to Sheki! The food was delicious, the travel arrangements were smooth, and the entire experience was fantastic. The highlight of our trip was definitely our guide, RIAD. He was incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and truly went above and beyond to make our trip memorable. He is without a doubt the best asset the company has. The only minor drawback was the car, which was a bit old, but everything else was perfect. Overall, a great experience, and we highly recommend it!”

        Gobustan trip Azerbaijan
        I recently went on a tour of Gobustan and visited several fascinating sites, including the first oil well in Baku, Bibi-Heybat Mosque, Mud Volcanoes, Yanar Dag (Burning Mountain), and Ateshgah (the Fire Temple). Our guide, Mr. Reza Karimov was outstanding! His extensive knowledge and genuine passion for his country were truly inspiring. He was incredibly helpful, taking the time to get to know each of us personally during the trip. I highly recommend Mr. Reza Karimov for any tour in Azerbaijan—his expertise will undoubtedly enhance your experience!

        To say that I liked this tour would be a massive understatement. I absolutely loved it. From the petroglyphs in Gobustan, to history lessons which were more like riveting stories all thanks to our guide Reza, to getting our mud masks from the mud volcanos, the tour was simply outstanding.

        Tour guide Rza was great. Highly recommend his tour the night tour also! (Both guides great!)
        Rza was our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, thorough and detailed in his explanations and descriptions. His passion and care for what we learned was very compelling. We had a fine lunch, saw many great sights and I appreciate very much his keeping us on time, which was perfect,..not too long, not too short. I highly recommend Rza and the tour.

        Temple of fire, mud volano etc etc. It was very interesting but it should be taken more seriously and 1. The tour guide should invest in a microphone on the bus 2. Clear instructions on what to book 3. Provide more presence aroind attractions 4.audio phones 5. More souvenier shops around attractions. After all it was great and the giudes made full effort with all tools that are given. Thank you

        Super fun tour I've ever have
        I really appreciate our excellent tour guid Mr. Rauf and his nice asistent Mr. Abdullah, they treated their guests so friendly and perfectly. We had a long trip to Shaki city but we didn't get board or tired because we had so much fun during the trip because of our tour guide's humorous personality. The tour organized very well and we didn't miss anything during our tour program.

        Excellent Tour
        I recently enjoyed a fantastic day tour from Baku, covering the first oil well of Azerbaijan, Bibi Heybat Mosque, Gobustan National Park, the Mud Volcanoes, Yanardag burning mountain, and Atishgah. Our guide, Mr. Reza, made the experience outstanding. Having taken many tours before, I've never encountered such a detailed and articulate guide. Mr. Reza's English was clear, and his historical knowledge was impressive. He answered all our questions thoroughly and made the tour both educational and enjoyable. The tour was well-organized and didn't feel rushed, allowing us to appreciate each site fully. Mr. Reza’s passion for Azerbaijan's history shone through, making the experience exceptional. I highly recommend Mr. Reza to anyone visiting Baku. This tour might have spoiled others for me! Many thanks to Mr. Reza for an unforgettable day.

        Informative and enjoyable experience
        Mr. Reza, the tour guide, knows the places very well with his fluent and clear English. The way he explains the area is very cool, he keeps the attention of the group on the subject. We thank to him for his guidance.

        Bad experience
        It is my first time that i book a trip that made feel terribly uncomfortable and didn’t enjoy my time to explore the places that we have been visiting, it was like get the bus take pictures get back again,, was a rush all the day the trip supposed to be 12 hours we arrived to our hotel after 16 hours!! My foot got swallowed from the exhaustion , my mother got sick after this trip , plus to that places that have been added in the trip must be separated into two different trips you can not visit them all in once that was a mistake, you won’t enjoy them when you arrive just taking pictures is something I didn’t pay for , but I preferred to stayed little longer and shortage the trip timing i guess it will be more relaxing and fun , after all i do not recommend this trip if this is the way the guide will continue to participate , it doesn’t worth your money at all it will come to your health

        If you want to see a lot of places in a short time and learn the features of historical places, you should definitely join these tours. We bought two tours from this company, day and night tours. Our tour guide for the day, Riza, was very knowledgeable and fun. We were amazed by his knowledge of the national park and the history of Azerbaijan. He was the most knowledgeable guide we have ever seen. Hafiz guided us on the night tour. Despite the cold weather, he answered all our questions patiently. He warmed us with his jokes. Thanks to him, we had beautiful night photos.

        Smooth tour and professional staffs.
        The whole tour was very smooth and no hassle. The tour guide Rza is very knowledgeable about the attractions and about Azerbaijan in general. The staffs interact in a professional and helpful manner. It was a totally relaxing tour even though it's snowing hard and the road was a bit slippery. This experience is something I would definitely recommend. Thank you for a nice experience 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

      This tour is the best way to explore interesting and remote locations outside Baku , and for decent price 55 eur via bookng including tickets and lunch at restaurant . Guide Rza speaks perfect English and very knowledgeable. Started around 9am and returned around 5pm . Comfortable Mercedes van and we were a group of only 6 tourists . Mud volcano stop was too short but rest was enough time spent .

      A great taste of Azerbaijan very beautiful places: the astounishing Golubstan, with its prehistoric rock art and the sensational mud vulcanoes, the eternal fire of Yanar Dag and the thrilling Temple of Fire, that brings you back to an enchanting, distant and significant moment of the human history.
      But also the oil drills represent a spectacle that is not seen every day.
      All has been organized in a great way, so that the day after you would like to repeat this experience.
      Reza has leaded the group with great mastery and in-depth and cultured explanations of what was before us and of the human path of the Azerbaijani nation.
      I enjoyed everything about this tour and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about the history and nature of these beautiful places and the wonderful people who live there.

      We went on 26 Nov. Our guide was Riad. As a former English teacher, he speaks good English and is knowledgable about the attractions. My group was split into 75% Russian and 25% English speakers and Riad did his best to split his time explaining accordingly. Can ask for him again if u are taking the tour. There was some confusion and to and fro about the pickup point but it was mainly because the hotel I was in was in a no-car zone. The lunch was decent; we had bread and chicken on the midway point of the tour when we passed by Baku.

      As for the attractions, the most impressive for me was Burning Mountains. The mud volcanoes weren’t really bubbling and the fire temple was small. The Gobustan wall art was rather impressive but we didn’t have time to really enjoy it.

      The weather was cold, below 10 degrees and it rained in the beginning of the tour. So bring an an umbrella just in case. The best time to take the tour was probably autumn.

      All in all, it’s a trip that is worth taking and value for money. U capture all the sights in one day and be back in Baku for dinner by 6 pm.

      It is my first time that i book a trip that made feel terribly uncomfortable and didn’t enjoy my time to explore the places that we have been visiting, it was like get the bus take pictures get back again , plus two that the guide used two languages to communicate which was extremely exhausting and took long time in russian language more than English and some information was told in russian didn’t actually mentioned in English, he was kind of rude referring that we should respect each other!? I mean serious? Each place we didn’t even stayed in it more than 30 minutes, was a rush all the day , which i do not recommend this trip if this is the way he will continue to participate. If you go by yourself you will enjoy more when exploring each spot you will visit , this group trip does not worth your time and money.

      Firstly, our tour guide seemed to have some inaccuracies in their information, which was disappointing. Secondly, the bus driver was observed eating nuts while driving, which posed a safety concern for all passengers. Thirdly, at the end of the tour, we were not returned to our hotel as promised and were left in the old city.

      The bus itself was quite small, with very little legroom, and the air conditioning was barely functional throughout the entire trip. Lastly, the meals provided during the tour were of poor quality.

      Overall, while I enjoyed visiting Baku, the tour company's services did not meet my expectations. I hope that this feedback can be used to improve future tours.

      Our full-day tour in Baku was an unforgettable experience, packed with incredible sights and rich history. We started our journey at the oldest documented oil well in the world. It was interesting to know that the country was the largest producer of oil at one point in history.

      Our next stop was the Bibi-Heybat Mosque, a stunning example of Islamic architecture that left us in awe with its intricate designs and serene atmosphere. Next, we ventured to the Gobustan National Park, where the ancient rock carvings and the fascinating Gobustan Mud Volcanoes provided a glimpse into the region's prehistoric past.

      We stopped for a sumptuous meal at a local restaurant. Our table of 20 tourists, had both vegetarians and non vegetarians alike and I would like to say, everyone was well fed with flavourful salads, soups and mains.

      Our next site was the Yanardag Fire Mountain, where the natural flames have been burning for centuries. It was mesmerizing to witness this natural phenomenon up close. Our final stop was the Ateshgah Fire Temple, a place of worship for Zoroastrians, Hindus, and Sikhs, which offered a unique insight into the diverse cultural heritage of Azerbaijan.

      A special mention goes to our tour guide, Reza, whose extensive knowledge and engaging storytelling brought each site to life. His patience and friendly demeanor made the tour even more enjoyable, ensuring we had ample time to explore and ask questions. Reza's passion for his country's history and culture was evident throughout the day, making our tour both educational and memorable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Baku!

      Baku has both ancient and modern pecularities which render this city very unique in between East and West. The city's ancient, Turkic and Soviet roots are embedded side by side together with modern architectural features and industrial developments.

      People who came to Baku for a trip should definitely visit the countryside of the city. My wife and me, we bought a tour package of all day near the city. Our tour guide Samir Gadirov was an excellent and very experienced person in his job, who speaks several languages very fluently, including English, Turkish and Russian, brought us to six places around Baku. The tour included the site of the first oil wells in Baku, spectacular Mud Volcanos, ancient archeological reserve of Gobustan, Temple of Fire Worshhippers and the burning hill Yanardag, the eternal source of fire, as well as the holy shrine and mosque complex of Bibi Heybet near Baku.

      Samir has shown his politeness and interest in every person who attended to the tour. He told every place in several languages in details, since our group have included people from several countries. His passion on narration of the historical and geographical beauties of the outside of Baku has opened new windows in our thoughts about Baku in particular, and Azerbaijan in general. We asked lots of questions about the places we visited and he patiently answered all of we wondered about the sites. Besides that, the lunch they provided for us was good and satisfactory in an authentic restaurant. In overall, the tour was very well-organized by the company Enjoy Azerbaycan Travel.

      So to speak, if you decide to come to Baku oneday, get a tour in and around the city with these professional people like Samir Gadirov. Otherwise, your Baku trip will not go beyond a city center tour with some museums and restaurants.
      Enjoy your trip to Baku, the pearl of the Caspian and the Caucasus!...

      We had an amazing day exploring the sights of Baku and its surroundings with a fantastic group of fellow travelers from various countries. The diversity of the group added to the experience, making it all the more enriching. The tour was conducted in English, and our guide did an excellent job of making everything clear and engaging.

      The stops were well-paced and informative but never felt overwhelming or boring. From the World's First Oil Well to the stunning Bibi-Heybat Mosque, every site was unique and full of history. The Gobustan Rock Art and the mud volcanoes were particular highlights, showcasing the natural and cultural wonders of Azerbaijan.

      My personal favorite was our tour guide. They were incredibly knowledgeable, sharing insights and stories about Azerbaijan's rich heritage without it ever feeling like a history lecture. Their passion for the country truly brought the tour to life.

      Azerbaijan is a fascinating nation with a deeply rich heritage, and this tour offered a perfect introduction to its wonders. If you're visiting Baku, this is a must-do experience!

      As per the review title - this is an excellent option for anyone who wants to be guided around a lot of the major sites around Baku (once you've ventured beyond the Old City).

      The variety and number of things we were taken to (plus a nice lunch) made the tour great value. Raza was an outstanding guide - very friendly, extremely knowledgeable about everywhere he took us, down to the nuances (from a 101 on the Zoroastrian religion for example to the history of oil in Azerbaijan). His delivery and communication were very confident, particularly given he was doing the tour in both English and Russian at the same time.

      The tour was around 9-10 hours in total so set aside a whole day (suspect it may vary with traffic and other things). Highly recommended.

      We had incredible time on the tour, and the tour guide Reza was extremely knowledge about the local culture, history and traditions. The tour was conducted in thorough English and Turkish, accommodating a diverse group. We also stopped for a brief lunch at a local & traditional restaurant, which was a very nice experience. I also bugged Reza with plenty of additional questions to which he was very accommodating and provided informative answers.
