Ali and Arif were excellent tour guides. They were very knowledgeable about all of the historic sites. Ali even took it upon himself to help another woman with information. I highly recommend booking with them.

Yaqoub was our guide today, he is very informative and he knows his history very well, very clear on details even from outside the window he points out every relevant landmarks, the van service was excellent and on time, it is a very spacious mercedes viano. i can say that this is a very good day tour that everyone should do because it covered a lot of historic places, we also had a buffet lunch included with the tour, so forget about dinner because the food has a lot of meat (delicious esp. the lamb) in it haha the most memorable for me was the trip to the mud volcanoes, the ride on the local car was fun & fantastic.Misscbaby

My private tour guide, Ruslan, was an amazing host and extremely knowledgeable. He picked me up from my hotel promptly at the agreed time and safely drove me to all of the sites included in this tour. He shared many educational facts along the way, which was greatly appreciated. The lunch stop was wonderful…I asked Ruslan to order for me and he did not disappoint. If you have the better part of a day available then I highly recommend this tour. For reference, I took this tour in August and it was extremely hot (above 40C) at Gobustan, so be sure to hydrate ahead of time and bring water (Ruslan also stopped for more water once I ran out of what I brought).
