Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Je gids haalt je op bij Sahil of je accommodatie (volgens je voorkeuren) en gaat op weg naar de oude Zoroastrische tempel "Ateshgah", die wordt beschouwd als een authentieke Azerbeidzjaanse exotische plek om te bezoeken. Het ligt ongeveer 30 km van het centrum van Bakoe in de buitenwijk Surakhany. Je leert veel over de tempel van je gids, met name meer over de geschiedenis van de oprichting van zo'n tempel in Bakoe en het unieke natuurlijke fenomeen van brandende aardgasuitlaten.
In het tweede deel van het bezoek ga je na een bezoek aan de tempel rechtstreeks naar "Yanar Dag" (Brandende Berg). Het is de meest bekende en populaire toeristische trekpleister van de "eeuwige vlam" in Azerbeidzjan. Eigenlijk is het eerder een heuvel dan een berg, met aardgas dat uit de oudheid op de helling brandt.
De tour eindigt bij het ophaalpunt of de gewenste locatie in het stadscentrum. Je gids zal je alle hulp en praktische informatie geven om het beste uit je ervaring in Bakoe te halen.

This was a very enjoyable day out. Ali, my guide, was very knowledgeable and personable. Yanardag was impressive but you only need a few minutes to get the gist of it. Still, I am pleased I went to see this.
Thank you, Marc! Forwarded your feedback to Ali. Enjoy your days ahead!
Very useful tour with Gunay as a fantastic guide. In addition to the tour itself, the descriptions of the places encountered during the drive were very much appreciated
We were two families who traveled together & experienced Baku and rest of Azerbaijan through Baku Tours. A very comfortable bus was given to us right from Airport pick up and through out our travel. Gunay from Baku Tours was our fantastic tour guide and I strongly recommend her for anyone visiting Baku and around. She’s knowledgeable, enthusiastic, helpful and a superb company! Yousif and Fuad were safe drivers all along. We visited Old Baku, Modern Baku, Gabala - Nohorgul lake, Tufandag resort via cable car, Gobustan - museum, caves & mud volcanoes, Quba - Candycane mountains, Ateshgah Fire Temple, Yanardag Eternal flame mountain, Khinaliq. We enjoyed the special local lunch and Azerbaijani tea at Khinaliq village. (Note: Veg food options are limited) Just some feedback, it will be good to let tourists know beforehand what to expect at Candycane (it had rained and mud covered our shoes which was tough to get rid of. Some other tourists had shoe protection on). For the Khinaliq village lunch, we were not prepared for the uphill walk in the rain. Finally the great lunch made up for it :) Thanks Baku Tours and Gunay for making our holiday memorable!
Thank you Rimli for such a warm feedback! I especially appreciate the comments regarding the things we can improve. All the best to your family and I wish we can see you again in Baku! We really enjoyed to share those great moments with you :)
Well worth seeing if only for 5 minutes or so. After all where else can you see the sort of natural phenomenon that may have been instrumental in the origin of Zoroastrianism?
Hello! Based on the date of your experience, you seem to have experienced a trip to Yanar Dag, but through other company or on your own. FYI, you have posted this review for our Ateshgah and Yanar Dag tour. Please kindly re-check your review, as you didn't experience this tour with us. Thank you!
Great short tour to two sites out of town. Very knowledgeable guide! Easy way to take in sights outside the city.
Arif was our guide on a half-day tour to the burning mountain and temples. He was excellent. Arif was knowledgeable, informative and a lovely guy to spend time with. Very polite and professional.
Thank you, Stuart! Just forwarded this to Arif!
Our guide was very personable, professional and very competent!! We had a great time, can highly recommend this tour!! In addition, our driver was also very good.:)) Best regards 🖖
The driver and his companion dropped us at the two sites and left us with local good English speaking guides
I landed in Baku without a plan and these guys saved my entire trip. I booked two tours - one for Yanardag and the other for Gobustan. My guides were Shahin and Seymur. These two guys were excellent guides. I was comfortable and well taken care of the entire trip. Communication was great. Discussions were possible cause they are locals with excellent English - both written and spoken. Highly recommended especially for solo travellers because they were excellent company!
There is nothing to watch at yanardag. only little fire below hill and ateshgah fire is artifical has little muesum to see
Dear Dinar, I am sorry to hear about your experience at Yanar Dagh and Ateshgah Fire Temple. Based on our records, you didn't experience the tour with us and I would kindly recommend you to revise your review or remove it. Thank you. Best regards, Eltaj Muradli
