The guide explained everything outside the sites and she never came in. The guide got off the bus earlier because her house was closer. The trip was supposed to end at double gates, but the driver said he would drop us off at a different location for which we agreed too. But on the way the driver asked us get out in the middle of the street 2 km away from the drop location. I had sprained my leg during this day trip due to which I was not able to walk. We spoke to the manager and tour guide on the phone. Inspite of which he refused to drop us at the location and we had to walk 2.5 km to reach the hotel. My leg was totally damaged because of this walk. Worst experience and worst travel company ever.I went on this trip on 28 March 2023.

I went on this trip on 28 March 2023. My guide Adil speaks excellent English and is very knowledgeable about all the stops on the tour. He also shared some interesting facts about places along the way. The Bibi Heybat mosque is stunning. Absolutely worth a visit. The mud mountains are certainly like nothing else I had ever seen before (be careful not to fall in!). Gobustan, The Fire Temple and Fire Mountain transported me to another time and place. It’s a fascinating experience. Azerbaijani food for lunch is also a highlight. All in all it is great value for money. It’s amazing what you can fit in a day. You get a great introduction to Azerbaijan in 10 hours. All the staff are very friendly. Well worth doing when you’re in Baku.They have very good packages about Azerbaijan, Baku Tours.
