I've been using Bag Baku for almost 5 years now to do both group tours and the occasional private tour. Services and tours have always been really well-managed and the destinations awesome. My friends and I booked a half-day tour with Bag Baku this month to see the petroglyphs at Gobustan and the mud volcanoes. Our guide for the day, Valeh, picked us up from our accommodation very punctually. We were really lucky to have Valeh as our guide this time, as he's an archeologist and very passionate and knowledgable about the sites we visited that day. We spent of lot of time in the museum at Gobustan, which is really well put together, before heading up to the petroglyphs. Visiting the museum first adds a lot to your visit to the petroglyphs and gives them a lot more meaning. We learned a lot on this trip, enjoyed the sights and had a great lunch. The only thing that was disappointing was that the car provided was really small and too small for us to even sit comfortably across the back and there was the usual issue of having to have the driver pull over and pull down the back seats to get access to the seat belts.
