Baku tours by Tourister — a local tour operator based in the city. We run small-group and private tours of Baku and day trips across Azerbaijan: Old City walks, mud volcanoes, Gobustan petroglyphs, fire temples, boat cruises on the Caspian and multi-day trips to the mountains. Hotel pickup, licensed local guides, instant online booking, and prices in manat with no hidden fees.
Why book your Baku tours with a local operator
Most tours of Baku sold on big international platforms are run by local companies anyway — booking direct simply removes the middleman. You get the same licensed guides and vehicles at a lower price, a WhatsApp line to the actual operator, and flexible rescheduling when your plans (or the Baku wind) change. Our guides live here: they know when Gobustan is quietest, which teahouse in the Old City is worth your time, and how to time Yanardag for sunset.
