Full description
Following a morning pickup from your accommodation in Baku, head in direction of Gobustan. Make a stop to visit an industrialized oil well close to the Bibi-Heybat Mosque. The journey continues to the Gobustan Museum of Petroglyphs, an indoor and outdoor museum located approximately 70 kilometers from Baku. Marvel at prehistoric rock drawings and petroglyphs which were carved by primitive men on walls of caves and on rocks, reflecting the culture, economy, and world outlook of the ancient Azeri people. Then, head to the coastal area of Azerbaijan, home to 400 mud volcanoes. Stop for lunch at a local restaurant savoring delicious Azerbaijani dishes. After lunch, visit the ancient Zoroastrian Ateshgah Temple, a former holy place for fire-worshippers. Round off the day with a visit to Yanardag, a natural gas fire that blazes continuously on a hillside on the Absheron Peninsula.

Everything was excellent - our guide Zaur had wonderful knowledge of each site and looked after the group well. The sites we visited were interesting and there were many stunning views. The food at lunch was tasty and the transport was comfortable. I would recommend this tour to anyone.

Great tour, but please note it did overrun by 2hours. Not just due to traffic reasons - this was not because of the travel, just lots of locations on the tour. This meant 2 different people had to organise taxis and leave the group due to flights/other commitments that could have been missed due to being delayed.

Was happy to get a really detailed and clear explanation from Zaur. Learned new things about Gobustan, Atashgah, Yanar Dag, and Bibi Heybat Mosque. Aside to that, I am happy with the interactions happened with all of the participants as well. Kudos to Zaur and Baku City Tours for the enjoyable experience
