Stunning Mountain Views on Fun, Well-Organized Group Tour

As a solo female traveller I typically plan out my own adventures and outings, but this type of trip required some local guidance. This ended up being a well-organized bus tour with several stops at beautifully scenic points deep into the mountains of the unique countryside of Azerbaijan. Our tour guide was highly personable and provided all kinds of useful facts about national culture, language, history. He also very kindly assisted many fellow travellers several times with photography/videography. Booking was easy on the Viator platform; however, the dates could potentially change with some notice (I was asked to move my booking to a day later than I had originally confirmed, which forced me to have to rearrange my schedule) - but definitely book it if you have a flexible itinerary! The mountain views are quite stunning, especially into the second half of the trip. Highly recommend taking anti-nauseants if prone to motion sickness (for the hours driving on rough, winding roads), packing a sweater or jacket for the frigid temperatures at some of the higher-altitude stops (even in summer!) and wearing hiking shoes, particularly if you intend to head up a ways on the Candy Cane slopes for better views/photos, and for the unavoidable ~15-20 min trek up stony paths for the village lunch. All in all, a lovely and memorable day to discover the breathtaking beauty of Azerbaijani nature!

Well-organized and a good overview

If I could give this a more precise rating it would have been about 4.6. The flaws were not at all major, just worth considering. Pro - Well-organized. The trip was laid out intelligently and it was very complete of what you could see in the environs of Baku. Said, our guide, was patient and well-informed. Especially for some of the later things (including the Zoroastrian temple) he really knew the subject. The Petroglyphs are the highlight of the tour. Cons - minimal. Said's accent was sometimes a little hard to understand. It was easier for me as a native English speaker. Also, it's a relatively long day with a lot of ground to cover, so be well-rested before you begin.

Amazing tour

My wife and I had a wonderful experience with Rozi Tour Guide! We visited Jummah Masjid, Yeddi Gozel Waterfall, and enjoyed the amazing cable car ride at Tufandag Mountain Resort. We also had a chance to do horse riding as well. Our guide was very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable about many cultures, which made the trip even more enjoyable. Everything was well organized and memorable. Highly recommended!

Ruslan is an excellent guide who provided us with comprehensive information about the places we visited, he’s also a very responsible driver, the whole drive from Baku to Khinalig was very smooth, without excessive speed and we felt safe on all the sections of the road. The highlight of the tour was the village of Khinalig which is very special and authentic. We also had a nice lunch there included in the tour program. There was also a friendly dog who accompanied us as we hiked through the village. Overall, we definitely recommend this tour and Ruslan as a guide.

A Perfect Day Exploring Gobustan, volcanoes and Absheron

Just wrapped up the BEST Gobustan, Volcanoes & Absheron Fire Tour in Azerbaijan—and wow, what an experience! From the ancient rock carvings in Gobustan to the surreal mud volcanoes and the mesmerizing flames of Absheron, every stop felt unique and unforgettable. What really made the day stand out, though, was our guide, Mehebbet. Incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about sharing Azerbaijan’s history and culture, he brought every location to life with stories and insights you wouldn’t get otherwise. The tour was smooth, well-paced, and thoughtfully organized—perfect whether you’re going solo or with a group. If you’re visiting Azerbaijan, this one’s an absolute must-do. And if you’re lucky enough to have Mehebbet as your guide, you’re in the best hands! Highly recommended!

A memorable day

It was awesome . Not too tiring would highly recommend to people who don’t want to walk endlessly but still go around and get a feel of Baku. Especially for people who don’t have many days in Baku . Our guide Elcan was very accommodating. Am embarrassed to admit that I was late for the tour due to some unavoidable conditions but Elcan was so patient and helpful. He didn’t bore the group with long discussions but engaged everyone . Am happy that I did this tour

A great day to explore

Great trip very interesting things to see and Murad very professional and funny. He changes with ease between required languages and takes care to make sure everyone understands. The lady ride to the mud volcano was terrifying 😆 but hey it's an experience. Overall a day trip worth doing.
