Additional Information

While it focuses primarily on historical attractions, it equally presents visitors with an insight into our culture, the unique aspects of Absheron peninsula’s environment, and the nearby Gobustan desert. The Gobustan and Absheron tour path takes you to the active mud volcano craters, salt lakes in the semi-desert, the harshest mountain of the Greater Caucasus, where fire spews from its recesses, to the contemplative, otherworldly landscape of rock hills and vast oil rig territories.

From the Stone Age to contemporary history and present-day realities, from Roman soldiers to Hindu mystics - these events and figures will form an unforgettable segment of your newfound understanding of Azerbaijan.

Baku day trip - Fabulous day trip with Nazperi as our wonderful guide who was so knowledgeable and attentive to our wishes. The taxi to the mud volcanoes was a real experience not to be missed.

A fabulous day learning all about Azerbaijan’s history. - Nazperi, our guide, gave us brilliant information on all the history and sights of Azerbaijan. Getting a taxi ride to the mud volcanos in an old Lada was a highlight. I was impressed with the vegan lunch provided. The burning mountain was fabulous.

Beautiful day in Baku. - My friend & I had a great experience with this tour package. It is so worth it. Although due to bad weather condition we skipped the mud volcano which is fine for me. But I really had a great time and also learned a lot about the history of Baku. Also, our tour guide I will call him Yas (I don’t know the spelling of his name) He has a lazer pointer that I will give a plus point as he explains to us the carvings on the rock of Gobustan. My favorite is the Fire Mountain. I would highly recommend tour from this company.

Wonderfoul tour - I was already on this tour with ATI two years ago, but this year I' ve decided to go again. I' ve spet a realy beautiful day on a tour and saw Mud volcanoes, Qobustan museum, first oil pump on the world and after that we had a very delicious lunch on the center of Baku. Than we continued our journey to the Ateshgah where we've seen a fire temple and after that we went to Yanar dag (burning mountain). I am so grateful that our guide was Vusala, who is very very professional and experienced guide fluent in english. She told us a lot informations about places which we've seen and a lot of inormation about country. It was seen that she realy love this work and and this travel company can be very happy that Vusala working for them.

Exceptional Tour Company and Tour Guide, but unimpressive itinerary! - This tour company is genuine and a really good one. All their staff, right from the sales person ( Friendly and politely persuasive Fidan) to their Manager to their super awesome tour guide ( again very genial and polite in addition to being exceptionally knowledgeable Nazperi!) were all super amazing and helpful. Tour itself is very well organized. Cost was very reasonable. For all the above, it's a 10/10. But the places that are part of the tour aren't that impressive. Not being able to go to the mud volcanoes was a big disappointment... not their mistake completely as it was raining at the time.
