I recently had the pleasure of taking part in the Absheron-Gobustan tour, and I must say that it exceeded my expectations in every way. As a traveler from Russia, I sought to explore the rich history and wonders of nature of Azerbaijan, and this tour was implemented in all directions.
📍 **Highlights of the tour:**
1. **Petroglyphs of Gobustan**. The ancient rock carvings in Gobustan are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and our knowledgeable guide has provided a fascinating insight into their significance. Petroglyphs dating back thousands of years depict scenes of everyday life, animals and rituals. It felt like I was back in time!
2. **Mud volcanoes**. Be sure to visit the otherworldly mud volcanoes of Gobustan. Our tour allowed us to get closer to these bubbling, mineral-rich mud pools. Don't forget to take a picture — the surreal landscape is unlike anything I've seen before.
3. **Absheron Peninsula**: We explored the picturesque Absheron Peninsula, famous for its historical sites and stunning views of the coast. Ateshgah Fire Temple and Yanar Dagh (Flaming Mountain) were exciting stops.
4. **Professionalism**: The Absheron Gobustan Tour team was exceptional. Our guide was not only well versed in the history and geology of the region, but was also friendly and helpful. Comfortable transportation and a well-organized route made the trip unforgettable.
🌞 **Tips for fellow travelers:**

The tour was wonderful. Our guide Russell was very professional. He knows all the places very well. Their prices are convenient compared to other unnecessarily high prices with a low level of service.
Thanks to Baku Heritage Tours. We joined them on the tours of Sheki, Absheron Gobustan and Guba Shahdag
I don't like to write reviews, but it was impossible not to write here, it was our first time in Azerbaijan and we didn't know anything about the country and its culture, the guys from the Baku Heritage Tour pleasantly surprised us, we went to Shaki, the road is long, but the guide entertained us and told us along the way about the places that we pass and the history of Azerbaijan in In general, the group was mixed, but the guide spoke Russian and English and paid attention to everyone, I also really liked that everything was clearly organized in time.As for the tour of Sheki itself, we were very pleased, it turns out that there are ancient Christian temples in Azerbaijan, the heritage of the Albanian-Udi people.Deserved 5 stars for the organization, price and quality of the excursion program itself.I definitely recommend Baku Heritage. You are the best.
