What To Expect

World's First Oil Well

Azerbaijani historians have found documents in Russian archives confirming that an oil well was drilled at Bibi-Eybat field near Baku in 1846. Thus, this well can be considered the first in the world, as it appeared 13 years before commercial oil production began in the United States.

This trip is around the city of Bacu. It is a pleasant trip but the attractions included in the trip are not so interesting - I would say it is little boring... I you have limited days in Baku you can skip it - this company has other more interesting trips. Good value for money
Nice day trip

We participated in the day trip to Guba and ended the day with wonderful memories. Our tour guide, Samir, was very kind and always attentive to all participants. He consistently provided information about each attraction we visited. The lunch was delicious. Although the brochure didn't include any pictures of the restaurant or the food, it definitely deserves a mention! Overall, it was a fantastic experience and we highly recommend this tour
Amazing experience with Samir

The tour was very informative and engaging. Riad (our tour guide) was fully loaded with AZ history, cultural information, and information about all the sites we visited. Lunch was good too. The tour started and ended as per schedule. A 5 star overall!

Very interesting tour with some highlights. The guide Riad is very knowledgeable in history and was able to tell us a lot about his country and the sites visited. We really enjoyed the tour.

This tour company is so well run, I cannot praise it highly enough. The office manager, Ramin, set up an individualized itinerary that took me to historical places other tours were not willing to stop at. As for the tour itself, my day spent with Sabina and Elmar was the high point of my trip to Central Asia. Both of them were so knowledgeable and kind, deeply rooted in the local culture of Baku and able to explain anything we encountered. The pacing of the tour was perfect, giving a visitor a rich, personal impression of the Absheron peninsula, thoughtfully presented by Sabina, without overwhelming you with random facts. An outstanding experience.

A good day trip if you have limited time in Baku. Riad was informative and enthusiastic and obviously passionate about history. For the cost it was good value and I enjoyed the mud volcanoes journey and views at Gobustan. Lunch was a brief stop and felt could be better if the host/guide sat with the group as the group did not interact much. The trip to Yanardag was interesting to see while it still remains. I enjoyed the journey and scenery along the way. All the oil wells were fascinating as they seem everywhere. My only criticism was I felt we were too much on the clock and a little rushed.
Good way to see Baku surrounds

Reza was a brilliant guide, and ran the tour bilingually in English and Russian. Some parts felt a bit rushed, and I would have liked more time at the mud volcanoes, but overall everything was fine. The fire mountain was a bit overwhelming, but it is what it is!
