Private Trip from Baku

  • 3 reviews | 23 travellers
    I hired the tour in Spanish and in the end it had to be in English, a setback because I don't speak English very well. Fortunately, Zaur, the guide, is great and gave all the facilities in the world as well as being a piece of professional, he transmitted very good vibes and was aware of the group. A 10 for him!

Description

If you have several days in Baku and want to explore the surroundings with a guide at your disposal, you can book any of our private tours. These tours last between 3 and 10 hours, will begin at the Baku Tourist Office and include transport in a private vehicle, and an English–speaking guide.

You can see the itineraries of each excursion listed below:

Gobustan Trip (3.5 hours)

We'll collect you at the meeting point before heading to the city's first oil well, drilled in 1871. We then visit the Bibi-Heybat mosque and admire the features of Islamic architecture inside.

Afterward, we will continue to the Gobustan National Park, where we will see cave paintings from prehistoric times in the Caucasus. After this, we will climb in a former Soviet taxi and go to see the famous mud volcanoes. This amazing natural spectacle has been compared to moonscapes!

Absheron Peninsula Tour (3 hours)

Starting from the meeting point, we'll take you on a tour of the beautiful Absheron Peninsula. The first stop will be at Yanar Dag (Fire Mountain) which is continuously burning due to the natural gas inside it.

After admiring this spectacle, we will set off for the Fire Temple of Ateshgah, where we will discover the importance of the metaphor of God and fire in the ancient religion of Zoroastrianism.

Gobustan and Absheron Peninsula (7 hours)

We'll collect you at the meeting point before heading to the first oil well in the region. Then we will enter the magnificent Bibi-Heybat mosque, a temple that served as an inspiration for the famous writer Alexander Dumas.

We will continue to the Gobustan National Park, where we will enjoy a splendid tour of petroglyphs from different periods. Then, aboard a Soviet cab, we will arrive at the mud volcanoes. This amazing place was a candidate for one of the seven natural wonders of the world!

Afterward, you will have one hour of free time for lunch (not included) before we return to the Absheron Peninsula. There, we will admire Yanar Dag, a burning mountain that expels natural gases, and we will visit the Fire Temple of Ateshgah, of great importance in the Zoroastrianism religion.

The itinerary for this tour is similar to the regular Gobustan and Absheron Peninsula tour.

Quba Trip (10 hours)

After meeting at the Baku Tourist Office, we will embark on a wonderful journey along the Quba road. On the way, we will stop at Besh Barmag mountain, an important place for pilgrims. Then, we will continue to the Qecresh forest, where you will have some free time in case you want to try delicious Samovar tea.

We will continue the trip at the Mestergah waterfall, where we will be able to enjoy a waterfall surrounded by endemic species. After that, we will head to Khinalig to explore its picturesque streets and learn about the peculiar way of life of the villagers. Listen carefully, because the inhabitants communicate in the Ketsch language, unique in the world.

The itinerary for this tour is similar to the regular Quba day trip.

Gabala and Shamakhi Trip (10 hours)

Starting from the meeting point, we'll make our way to Juma Mosque in Shamakhi. We will admire this great work of architecture that served in the Middle Ages as a socio-cultural center. We then head to the hanging bridge of the region of Ismayilli, where you will enjoy the spectacular views.

Our next stop is Gabala, where you will have one hour of free time for lunch (not included). Feeling reenergized, we will get into an old Soviet cab that will take us to the Seven Beauties waterfalls. To crown the visit, we will make one last stop at Tufandag Mountains Resort, where you ride to the top of the mountain on a cable car.

The itinerary of this tour is similar to the regular trip to Gabala and Shamaki.
