Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
Réserve historique et artistique d'État. L'un des trois lieux d'Azerbaïdjan protégés par l'UNESCO (2007). Il y a deux musées à l'intérieur de la réserve. Le premier est un musée à ciel ouvert. Ici, nous nous promènerons dans les grottes, verrons les peintures rupestres, verrons la cuisine ancienne, plongerons dans la vie des peuples primitifs. Et le deuxième musée - moderne et interactif - a été construit en 2011. Gobustan est une fusion de l'antiquité et des nouvelles technologies.
Il y a environ 800 volcans de boue dans le monde. 354 d'entre eux sont situés sur le territoire de l'Azerbaïdjan, soit environ 40 %. Les invités qui ont visité les volcans disent qu'ils ont été sur Mars, car leur surface ressemble à des films spatiaux. Vous pouvez tourner un nouvel épisode de Star Wars :) La boue est très utile pour la peau, les articulations et les os.
La mosquée Bibi-Heybat est certainement l'un des temples les plus magnifiques que vous ayez jamais visités ! Localise ici le tombeau des proches du Prophète Muhammad (s.v.s).
Avant de continuer, nous nous arrêterons dans un restaurant local. La cuisine azerbaïdjanaise n'a jamais laissé personne insatisfait ! Une large gamme de plats pour tous les goûts !
Et maintenant, voyons ce qui était adoré à Absheron avant l'Islam. Il y a plusieurs siècles, nos ancêtres considéraient le feu comme sacré. La religion du culte du feu était si sacrément vénérée que la fête religieuse Novruz est devenue une fête nationale et, ayant survécu à travers les siècles, est toujours célébrée. Temple du Feu Ateshgah est le lieu de confluence de trois religions, le culte du feu, le zoroastrisme, l'hindouisme. Lors de notre visite, vous comprendrez ce que ces trois enseignements ont en commun.
Passons maintenant aux origines de cette religion. Lumières éternelles qui ont été mentionnées dans les annales d'Atilla - le grand empereur Hun, Marco Polo et bien d'autres. Les scientifiques datent l'âge du "saint foyer" de 4 à 5 mille ans.
Bakou abrite le premier puits de pétrole foré industriellement au monde, achevé en 1846 dans la région de Bibi-Heybat, marquant le début de l'industrie pétrolière moderne.

Overall, the tour was good. I didn't like the restaurant, where we stopped for the lunch because it was too fancy, pricey and touristy. Also, we came back 2 hours later than we were told. The spot for seeing mud volcanoes was also very touristy and one can't see them there properly. The guide was unprofessionally dressed, but very nice and provided lots of information.
Sayid! Huge thanks for the interesting and educational tour of the old town of Baku. Baku is a very beautiful city on the shores of the Caspian Sea. I will definitely come to Baku again.
Спасибо вам большое за тёплые слова! Нам невероятно приятно получать такие отзывы — они вдохновляют нас становиться ещё лучше. Рады, что вы остались довольны, и будем счастливы видеть вас снова!

tour guide Aziz， just amazing tour with him. recommend everyone smile tour 👍. He take care of us all day. Wish you all best
We have visited many unique and amazing destinations through the day. Also our tour guide Kamuran is a very nice guide who made sure we enjoy the trip through detailed informations about the tourist attractions, food reccomendations etc.
A pleasant and beautiful tour. The planning was well done. Thank you so much for telling Hazar our guide.
Had a wonderful day trip with Smile Azerbaijan tours on Gobustan - the tours starts at 9am and ends around 6pm. We have seen so many beautiful natural wonders - the famous mud vulcanoes (3 types of mud vulcanoes) , one of them is even used for body treatment. In addition, we saw the fantastic Yanardag - burning mountains, a everlasting natural phenomenon due to gas, and the fire temple. The tour worths the trip and timing is good. Regarding the entrance fees, check out what the 25 AZN combo ticket contains (instead of 40 AZN) depending on what you would like to see.
We had the most incredible full-day tour in and around Baku, and it was all thanks to our outstanding tour guide, Sayeed. From start to finish, he went above and beyond to make sure every single person in the group felt comfortable, informed, and well taken care of. We visited around 7–8 key locations, including the Fire Temple (Ateshgah), Yanar Dag (Burning Mountain), Mud Volcanoes, Gobustan National Park, several museums, and even the first oil well in the world. Sayeed impressed us all with his depth of knowledge — not just about the main attractions, but also about the smaller landmarks and buildings we passed along the way. He shared fascinating facts and stories, effortlessly blending history, culture, and local insight in a way that made everything so much more meaningful. What really stood out was how incredibly accommodating and thoughtful he was. He made sure everyone had access to water, helped people charge their phones by arranging chargers, and even shared his own personal hotspot with two other tour members who didn’t have data — something he offered without being asked. Sayeed’s time management was flawless. We never felt rushed, and yet we covered a lot without any delays. He found the perfect pace — not too fast, not too slow — and made sure every stop was well-utilized and enjoyable. Perhaps the most touching part of the day was when a woman who had back issues joined late and couldn’t sit at the back of the vehicle. Without hesitation, Sayeed gave up his own front seat for her and stood the entire day — from 9 AM to around 6 or 7 PM — just so she could be comfortable. That level of empathy and dedication is rare and truly speaks volumes about the kind of person he is. Sayeed, thank you so much — you were not just a guide, but a true host. You made our trip smooth, rich with insight, and genuinely memorable. Your professionalism, kindness, and deep knowledge made this tour one of the best we’ve ever been on. We’re grateful for everything you did and would 100% recommend you to anyone visiting Baku. You made Azerbaijan come alive for us. P.s he is an amazing photographer also. Takes amazing pictures from your phone as much as you want.
I usually don’t like to visit places with organized tours, but in this case I preferred to opt for a tour for time requirements. I am glad I made this choice because it was an extremely pleasant experience, thanks to the impeccable organization and a kind and very prepared guide. I recommend it to everyone, it is a great way to see the attractions around Baku in one day without wasting time and with a fairly contained vosto.
Thank you so much for your feedback! We truly appreciate hearing from you. We're glad you enjoyed your experience and look forward to welcoming you back again soon! Warm regards, Smile Azerbaijan Tour!
Guys are the best I advise everyone, take the tours from the smile, with Hazard Mud Volcanoes very interesting how rich the land is here. And the burning mountain also surprised me.
