We plan to travel or sometimes fall in wish of traveling around! Seems all of us felt it in way of: " Let`s get some adventure, to see new unusual places, enjoy our time". If someone would ask you: Do you want to see the city built up based on oil (petrol) industry? But, if in additional you will see land of fire with ancient flaming mountains and mud volcanoes? Little bit Europe soul of architectural style, in mix of beauties of Azerbaijan's life style houses - this cocktail so good for the soul and mind. Explore it, drink it and get new vision of something spiritual, shining around in hand of Caspian sea. I would love to invite all of you to discover this places with our unique tours which can take you to Caucasian mountains, petrol platform, golden palaces and boating! Please let me know if you have any questions about Land of Fire and petrol. I will be happy to answer to any questions!

This was a fantastic tour, and I enjoyed every moment of it! The sights truly are incredible - different than anything you will see in most places around the world. Everyone in the group was great, and the guide was kind, knowledgeable, and fun. I enjoyed spending my day on this tour, and I was sad when it was over. I want to especially mention how great Zaur is - there is no one better in Azerbaijan with whom to spend time and see the city. He is amazing! I very strongly recommend this tour.
