Additional Information

The journey through Gobustan-Absheron is one of Baku’s most sought-after tours. 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. The team at Azerbaijan Travel International, known for their professionalism, generously educate tourists with narratives about Azerbaijan’s various historical periods. 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.

Great tour and great guide - The Day trip was nice and our guide Nazperi was lovely, her knowledge about different cultures was immense and she was very receptive of any questions we had. At no time we felt rushed but still made it back in time.

Nice day trip near Baku - This was a cute tour. Timely with quick visits due to distance but with a fairly relaxed pace. I felt like the time spent at each site was enough. Fidan was my guide, being led by Nazperi, as it was Fidan’s first day. She did a god job for her first day! and I’m sure she’ll continue to improve! Communication with the company was EXCELLENT! As I made arrangements very late the day before via WhatsApp as their site and TripAdvisor wouldn’t allow me to book. so I was grateful they responded so quickly. If you want some quick and easy sites around Baku then this is a good option.
