- World’s First Oil Well - Azerbaijani historians have discovered documents in Russian archives that confirm an oil well was drilled at the Bibi-Heybat field near Baku in 1846. This well is considered the world’s first, predating commercial oil production in the US by 13 years.

- Bibi-Heybat Mosque - Bibi-Heybet (aunt of the stern) is a ‘pir’ located near the mountains of Baku within a large cemetery. The tomb of Bibi-Heybet, a relative of the Prophet Muhammad, is situated in a grand mosque frequently visited by Muslims. Bibi-Heybet is renowned for her miraculous healing powers. Many Muslims wish to be buried near this mosque.
- Mud Volcanoes - A mud volcano is a geological formation featuring a hole or depression in the earth’s surface, or a cone-shaped elevation with a crater, from which mud and gases are continuously or periodically erupted. These volcanoes are primarily found in oil-rich and volcanic regions.
- Gobustan Rock Art - Gobustan is one of the world’s most renowned historical and archaeological reserves, serving as an open-air museum with a vast collection of invaluable historical artifacts.
- Ateshgah - Fire Temple - The “Ateshgah” Fire-worshipper temple dates back to the second and third centuries. During this period, Zoroastrianism spread in Azerbaijan, leading to the construction of Zoroastrian temples in the region. The Ateshgah temple in Surakhani was active until the 7th century, when Islam was adopted in Azerbaijan.
- Yanardag State Historical, Cultural and Natural Reserve - Yanardag is one of the most remarkable natural attractions on the Absheron Peninsula. It is a flaming mountainside that cannot be extinguished by rain or sand and has been burning for millennia. The awe-inspiring fiery landscape is easily explained: natural gas is released from the upper layers of soil and ignites upon contact with oxygen.

Super insightful, must-do tour! - The tour was fantastic! Special thanks to our guide, Reza, for making it so informative. He gave us detailed insights into each site we visited and shared fascinating stories about Azerbaijan.
The trip never felt boring—Reza has a real talent for storytelling, making it feel like we were traveling through history with our imagination.
His English was flawless—at times, I honestly thought he was from London! With both English and Russian speakers on the tour, Reza switched between languages effortlessly, making sure everyone was included.
I had a wonderful time and walked away with so much new knowledge about this beautiful country!

Complete Azerbaijan history in few hours - We booked a tour over email, Reza was our guide. I expected someone to lead us from place to place and give fee details,maybe some jnteresting facts, help us to get good pictures and thats it. But this was history lesson like I never had before. This is how every tour should look like. Reza use very possible moment to give js some details about rich history of Azerbaijan. It was soo good that I want to know and explore more. And I will. Than you for the remarkable history lesson. Aldo it was very cold outside it didnt bother us to listen to the interesting stories.

The funniest tour - The trip was amazing. Riyad was our guide. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Azerbaijan. He was very fluent in English, Arabic, Turkish, and Russian. He served us tea he made at home. My son and I enjoyed our tour with him. We laughed a lot. The group we had the tour with were very friendly. They were from Palestine, USA, Turkey, Russia, Tunisia, and Nigeria. It turns out that he is a fan of Arabic music. You will not regret booking a tour with him!

An incredible opportunity to sight see and discover local culture - We had incredible time on the tour, and the tour guide Reza was extremely knowledge about the local culture, history and traditions. The tour was conducted in thorough English and Turkish, accommodating a diverse group. We also stopped for a brief lunch at a local & traditional restaurant, which was a very nice experience. I also bugged Reza with plenty of additional questions to which he was very accommodating and provided informative answers.

Just amazing. If you want to do only one tour, this is IT - After walking tour this is THE tour you must be having in your itinerary. You will see first oil well of human history and unique mud volcanoes and the fiery fire mountain. Bibi Heybat mosque is also a must visit included in this tour. Lunch was amazing. Best thing about this trip was our guide Reza whose english was so good I thought he is from london. British accent was refreshing. His sense of humour was on the spot. Thank you guys.
