Itinerary
Azerbaijani historians have found documents in Russian archives confirming that an oil well was drilled at the Bibi-Heybat field near Baku in 1846. This well can thus be considered the world's first, as it appeared 13 years before commercial oil production began in the US.
Bibi-Heybet (aunt of the stern) is a 'pir' located near the mountains of Baku amidst a vast cemetery. The tomb of Bibi-Heybet, one of the relatives of the Prophet Muhammad, is located in a vast mosque, very willingly visited by Muslims. Bibi-Heybet is famous for her miraculous power to heal the sick. Many of the Muslims bequeath to be buried near this mosque.
A mud volcano is a geological formation consisting of a hole or depression in the earth's surface, or a cone-shaped elevation with a crater, from which mud and gases are continuously or periodically erupted. This type of volcano is mainly found in oil-bearing and volcanic areas.
Gobustan is one of the world's most famous historical and archaeological reserves, an open-air museum with a huge collection of priceless historical artefacts
"Ateshgah" Fire-worshipper temple - the first structures of the Ateshgah temple date back to the second and third centuries. At that time Zoroastrianism spread in Azerbaijan and Zoroastrian temples started to be built in the regions. Ateshgah temple in Surakhani functioned until VII century. It is known that Islam was adopted in Azerbaijan in VII century.
Yanardag is one of the most amazing natural attractions of the Absheron Peninsula. It is a flaming mountainside that cannot be extinguished by rain or sand, and has been burning for several millennia. The frightening yet fascinating fiery landscape is actually very simple to explain: natural gas is released from the upper layers of soil, which turns into flames when it comes into contact with oxygen.

I had a wonderful experience traveling across Azerbaijan with My Tour Group. The entire trip was very well organized, allowing us to visit some of the country's most beautiful attractions comfortably and without any hassle. The tour guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. Transportation was punctual, clean, and comfortable, making it easy to enjoy destinations such as Baku, Gabala, Shahdag, Gobustan, and other scenic locations. The itinerary was well planned, providing a good balance between sightseeing, local culture, and leisure time. What stood out most was the professionalism of the team and their attention to detail. Every aspect of the tour was handled smoothly, which made the experience stress-free and enjoyable. Traveling in a group was also a great way to meet new people and share memorable experiences. I would definitely recommend My Tour Group to anyone planning to visit Azerbaijan. Whether you are a solo traveler, with family, or traveling with friends, they provide excellent service and great value for money.
We went to all the places on the itinerary, and they all seemed worth visiting. Our guide, Riad, made sure things kept moving, which did sometimes mean that things felt a bit rushed, but in retrospect I think it was good because otherwise the tour would have taken even longer, and it was already quite long. It was also impressive how Riad juggled speaking three different languages to different parts of the group without ever really seeming to neglect anybody. He did talk quite fast, but his English was good, so he was easy to understand. We had lunch included, too - it was in a nice setting, was also handled efficiently, and the food was of better quality than on other excursions I've participated in.
Very nice tour and guide Riant. He explained everything to us, he was very helpful . Thank you !!
I had an excellent day trip in Baku organized by Mu Tour Company, and our guide Riad was exceptional. He was very knowledgeable about all the attractions we visited and shared interesting information about the history, culture, and significance of each place. Riad was friendly, professional, and attentive throughout the tour. His passion for Azerbaijan and deep understanding of the local sights made the experience both enjoyable and memorable. He answered all our questions with patience and always made sure we were comfortable. Thanks to Riad and Mu Tour Company, I was able to see the best of Baku and gain a much deeper appreciation of the city. I highly recommend Mu Tour Company and especially Riad to anyone visiting Baku and looking for a knowledgeable and reliable guide. Thank you, Riad, for making my visit to Baku such a wonderful experience!
Hello. I didn't really enjoy the trip, only the riad was great. There were of course some bad problems. The air conditioning in the car didn't work well so during all the trips it was unbearable heat in the car. During the meal they didn't have cold water and the food was really not tasty, I didn't eat. I hope you will take care of these problems
We had a very bad tour because the air conditioner of the car was not working it was so hot that we were sweating throughout the day. Our package included pick and drop from the hotel but we were dropped 22 minutes away from our hotel we were dead after the hot long day but still had to walk alot to our hotel
We booked this tour through Booking. We managed to see everything planned in the proposal, thanks also to our guide Riad, who also gave us tips on other activities to do in Baku. The traditional lunch is worth highlighting; excellent!
