What To Expect
Gobustan Rock Art
State Historical and Artistic Reserve. One of the three places in Azerbaijan protected by UNESCO (2007). There are two museums inside the reserve. The first is open-air museum. Here we will walk through the caves, see the rock paintings, see the ancient cuisine, plunge into the life of primitive people. And the second museum - a modern, interactive one - was built in 2011. Gobustan is a fusion of antiquity and new technologies.
Mud Volcanoes
There are about 800 mud volcanoes all over the world. 354 of them are located on the territory of Azerbaijan, which is about 40%. Guests who have visited the volcanoes say that they have been on Mars, because their surface resembles space films. You can shoot a new episode of Star Wars :) The mud is very useful for skin, joint and bones.

5.00Had a wonderful day trip with Smile Azerbaijan tours on Gobustan - the tours starts at 9am and ends around 6pm. We have seen so many beautiful natural wonders - the famous mud vulcanoes (3 types of mud vulcanoes) , one of them is even used for body treatment. In addition, we saw the fantastic Yanardag - burning mountains, a everlasting natural phenomenon due to gas, and the fire temple. The tour worths the trip and timing is good. Regarding the entrance fees, check out what the 25 AZN combo ticket contains (instead of 40 AZN) depending on what you would like to see.
Exceptional Baku Tour Experience with Sayeed – The Best Guide We Could Ask For!

5.00We had the most incredible full-day tour in and around Baku, and it was all thanks to our outstanding tour guide, Sayeed. From start to finish, he went above and beyond to make sure every single person in the group felt comfortable, informed, and well taken care of. We visited around 7–8 key locations, including the Fire Temple (Ateshgah), Yanar Dag (Burning Mountain), Mud Volcanoes, Gobustan National Park, several museums, and even the first oil well in the world. Sayeed impressed us all with his depth of knowledge — not just about the main attractions, but also about the smaller landmarks and buildings we passed along the way. He shared fascinating facts and stories, effortlessly blending history, culture, and local insight in a way that made everything so much more meaningful. What really stood out was how incredibly accommodating and thoughtful he was. He made sure everyone had access to water, helped people charge their phones by arranging chargers, and even shared his own personal hotspot with two other tour members who didn’t have data — something he offered without being asked. Sayeed’s time management was flawless. We never felt rushed, and yet we covered a lot without any delays. He found the perfect pace — not too fast, not too slow — and made sure every stop was well-utilized and enjoyable. Perhaps the most touching part of the day was when a woman who had back issues joined late and couldn’t sit at the back of the vehicle. Without hesitation, Sayeed gave up his own front seat for her and stood the entire day — from 9 AM to around 6 or 7 PM — just so she could be comfortable. That level of empathy and dedication is rare and truly speaks volumes about the kind of person he is. Sayeed, thank you so much — you were not just a guide, but a true host. You made our trip smooth, rich with insight, and genuinely memorable. Your professionalism, kindness, and deep knowledge made this tour one of the best we’ve ever been on. We’re grateful for everything you did and would 100% recommend you to anyone visiting Baku. You made Azerbaijan come alive for us. P.s he is an amazing photographer also. Takes amazing pictures from your phone as much as you want.
A tour that I recommend to everyone

5.00I usually don’t like to visit places with organized tours, but in this case I preferred to opt for a tour for time requirements. I am glad I made this choice because it was an extremely pleasant experience, thanks to the impeccable organization and a kind and very prepared guide. I recommend it to everyone, it is a great way to see the attractions around Baku in one day without wasting time and with a fairly contained vosto.
Several guided tours
