We had an excellent private tour in Azerbaijan, and everything was organized very professionally from start to finish. From the first contact, Artunj was always quick to respond, flexible, and very helpful. He adapted the itinerary several times to match our wishes, recommended excellent hotels, and everything was arranged exactly as agreed. There was one small issue on our arrival day when our first airport driver had difficulty finding our hotel because many streets in Baku were closed due to the Formula 1 preparations. However, Artunj reacted immediately, stayed in close contact with us, and made sure everything was resolved quickly. We really appreciated his support and professionalism. Our guide and driver, Ramal, was friendly, knowledgeable, and spoke excellent English. He shared a lot of interesting information about Azerbaijan and always made us feel welcome. One small remark is that he occasionally used his mobile phone while driving. We noticed this seems to be quite common in Azerbaijan, although we personally would have preferred less phone use behind the wheel. Overall, we had a fantastic experience. The itinerary was well balanced, the hotels were excellent, communication was outstanding, and we always felt well looked after. We highly recommend Azerbaijanguide.az and especially Artunj to anyone looking for a well-organized private tour in Azerbaijan. Thank you, Artunj, for making our trip such a memorable experience!

Qobustan it is an ancient place of habitants which live in these areas on the dates of 5,000-40,000 years ago. It is located about about 60 km far from Baku city center. This location included to the UNESCO Heritage list. Qobustan National Museum will help you to feel the history of first immigrants of these lands. The reserve has more than 6,000 rock engravings dating back between 5,000-40,000 years. The site also features the remains of inhabited caves, settlements and burials, all reflecting an intensive human use by the inhabitants of the area during the wet period that followed the last Ice Age.
Azerbaijan also famous with its Mud Vulcanos which is very rear in the world. We will have a chance to see these Vulcanos which are near to Qobustan Museum. As the road to Mud Vulcano is so bad, we will change our car to Soviet cars with the brand name Lada. It will be another Safari adventure for you. ;)

We did a customised 2 day tour. The first day was mainly Baku city including old city walking tour and second day was Qobustan, the mud volcanoes & the burning mountain. The trip was well organised. Our guide Farhad spoke English very well. He is very helpful , friendly & reliable. They were also very flexible according to the tourist requirements.
