Ateshgah (Fire Temple) Tours and Tickets - page 4

It was a great tour. You can visit most of the things in the vicinty of Baku. It is a place filled with history. Our guide was really helpful and filled us with lot of details. The Van was clean and cool. A great tour to do if you have limited time and wish to visit most of the great things near Baku.

I'll do this one in parts as there were several different stops. --Qobustan - These cave sketches were AWESOME.. As they were over 10,000 years old its incredible how good of shape they were in and I would definitely recommend checking them out. The museum there was REALLY well done and signs were in English as well. --Mud Vulcano - This is another very unique opportunity! Some of the volcanoes could be lit on fire with a match due to the leaking methane. The other volcanoes that were filled with mud were just bubbling bubbling away. You could heard them pop as they bubbled to the surface. You could also stick your hand in and draw in the mud. BONUS - I paid our driver 10 bucks to let me drive his 40 year old Russian 4 speed car on the dunes and that was really fun! Ateshgah - This stop at the fire temple as not very interesting. The fact that a few different religions all lived there at once was pretty cool though. BONUS - I complimented one of the tour guides (Almira) on how cool her glasses were.. the very glasses she was WEARING and she gave them to me! I was so flattered and I'm going to put a prescription in them when I get home. Yanardag Fire Mountain Tour - For me this was a big dud. I have just went to the "Gates of Hell" in Turkmenistan and they were 500 times bigger and more impressive than this one tiny flame. i would skip this stop all together.

Guide was flexible about changing Mud Volcano Museum to Mud Volcano visit which was the highlight of the tour despite the rough drive there. Good day out

Very informative and fun day. Exceptional guide and driver. Felt like a day out with friend but learnt so much.

Well-organized tour with the key highlights, nice and knowledgeable guide, smooth logistics and communication. Recommended.

The itinerary is perfect, and our Guide Murad was very informative and very friendly. The mud volcano was a bit disappointing (very small), but it is what it is. Everything is as per the itinerary, i recommend getting the option with the lunch and without the tickets. You will have to pay a total of 55 AZN per person for tickets and the ride to Mud Volcano.

An amazing day and incredible experience. My guide Farhad was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and great company. As a solo female traveller I felt comfortable and safe at all times and enjoyed the whole day immensely.

Samir is a great guide with a lot of experience! We learned a lot from him in Gobustan and at Ateshgah fire temple!
