Itinerary
Gobustan occupies the south-eastern spur of the Great Caucasian Range and situated 60 km south of Baku. It is a monticulate semi-desert area dissected by numerous gullies and ravines and Gobustan, in translation, means "ravine land". Caves and rock outcroppings surround the region. Settled since the Stone Age the area is one of the major and most ancient museums of rock engravings (petrogliphs) in the world.
In addition, around Gobustan National Park along the coast of the Caspian Sea are located mud volcanoes-oozing, gurgling mounds of once-subterranean sludge and methane Unlike lava-spewing igneous volcanoes or the whiffy bubbling mud of Rotorua, the contents of Gobustan’s mud domes are cold.
Fire Temple of Baku(Ateshgah) is a castle-like religious temple in Surakhani town. The "Ateshgah" was a pilgrimage and philosophical centre of Zoroastrians from Northwestern Indian Subcontinent, who were involved in trade with the Caspian area via the famous "Grand Trunk Road". The temple was last restored in 1975. Today low, dark cells for monks and pilgrims in the Ateshgah Temple is an interesting museum, intended to introduce the rudiments of Zoroastrianism to the uninitiated.
Burning Land is a natural gas fire which blazes continuously on a hillside on the Absheron Peninsula on the Caspian Sea near Baku. Flames jet into the air 3 metres (9.8 ft) from a thin, porous sandstone layer. Yanar Dag(Burning Land) flame was only noted when accidentally lit by a shepherd in the 1950s.
Explore the historic Bibi Heybat Mosque, a stunning architectural gem nestled by the Caspian Sea, boasting intricate designs and a rich cultural heritage.
Discover the birthplace of the global oil industry at Azerbaijan's world-famous First Oil Well, a historic site marking the dawn of the modern petroleum era.

I highly recommend this tour whether solo or as a group. My driver was very professional and accomodating to my needs during the stops we made. It was super relaxing and enjoyed learning about Azerbaijan, Baku and the historical sites. Thank you to Movsum for a wonderful tour!
Trip was amazing! If short of time, this is the way to see all the sights in comfort and with great guide! Highly recommend
This tour was a great surprise, with lots of surprises that I am not going to mention to avoid spoiler adverts. Anyway, it's a must, and we were very pleased with the tour, the guide, and the attention throughout the journey.
Well done tour, fast and clear communication with the tour operator, very good driver, kind and attentive to safety and comfort. A tour that I recommend to get to know the areas around Baku.

5/5 everything was perfectly planned by baku tours even my airport transfers also i m glad that i was in touch with them 👍👍
Amazing experience arranged on VERY short notice. Literally decided a night in advance to travel to Baku for the weekend. Aygul arranged for everything the night before by 11pm before our arrival the next day. Day 1 we covered Fire Mountain, Fire Temple, Gobustan and Mud Volcanos Day 2 was Shahdag and all snow activities, Day 3 was Alpaca farm in the morning with a full day Baku tour in the afternoon and evening. Aygul was amazing, as was Anar. Friendly, Supportive, Accommodating. Thank you for a great experience!
Reliable tour guide in Baku. Quick response in your enquiry and offer great price compare to others. I Took 1day tour (family). Recommend a private tour, our guide is Saddar, he’s very informative, with detail explanation on the country history, cultures and of course food here in Baku. Try Khalifa Restaurant located in Baku city, offers Azerbaijan food to try, with acceptable price range. This is our first experience in Baku, possibly will visit again 👍
