Who we are

AzerbaijanTours.com is an independent travel website and tour operator based in Baku, Azerbaijan. Since 2010, we have been helping travelers from over 50 countries discover Azerbaijan — from the dramatic modern and historic architecture of Baku to the Silk Road cities of Sheki, the alpine meadows of Gabala, and the isolated highlands of Khinalug.

We are a small team of local specialists, licensed guides, and travel planners who know Azerbaijan intimately — not from guidebooks, but from years of living, working, and exploring here. Every tour we offer is one we would take our own families on, and every itinerary on this site reflects routes our guides have driven and stayed on personally.

We operate as a licensed local tour operator, working directly with hotels, drivers, and guides across the country rather than through third-party resellers — which keeps our pricing honest and our on-the-ground support genuinely responsive.

Verified traveler reviews
★★★★★

"Farid made Sheki feel like we were visiting a friend's hometown. The caravanserai dinner he arranged, the morning walk through the Khan's Palace before other tourists arrived — none of this was on the standard itinerary. Genuinely the best-guided trip we've done anywhere."

Sarah M. · London, UK · Classic 7-day · October 2024
★★★★★

"We booked a honeymoon package and Aynur handled every detail — from the rose petal welcome in Sheki to the private Caspian sunset dinner. Azerbaijan was our friends' most surprised reaction when we said where we were going for our honeymoon."

Ahmed & Fatima R. · Dubai, UAE · Honeymoon 8-day · May 2024
★★★★★

"As a solo traveler joining the group departure, I was nervous about compatibility. Completely unnecessary — the group of 8 became friends within two days. Rashad's driving was smooth and safe on mountain roads that would have terrified me to self-drive."

Priya K. · Bangalore, India · Northern Highlands 10-day · September 2024
