4.Gobustan-Mud Volcan-Fire Temple and Mountain Tour/Entrance inc

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 267 reviews · from $30Best reviewed

Spend 7 to 8 hours touring Baku’s Bibi-Heybat Mosque, Gobustan rock art and mud volcanoes, Ateshgah Fire Temple, Yanardag and the Heydar Aliyev Center. Hotel pickup, transport, water, guide and selected entrance tickets are included. Expect a small-group outing, an off-road ride, long transfers and limited time at some stops.

“The mud volcanoes where a little underwhelming, but the ride up with the "Lada Rally Club" was an experience. The mosque is stunning and Yanardag was more interesting that I expected. Would have been nice to have some time to go inside the Heydar Cultural Center, but I would not have wanted to start the tour earlier to be able to make it there in time. The lunch place was delightful.”
