Azerbaijan's story runs from 12,000-year-old rock carvings to Silk Road palaces and the fire temples of the ancient Zoroastrians. Our history tours connect these threads across the country — the walled Old City of Baku, the petroglyphs of Gobustan, the Khan's Palace in Sheki and the eternal flames of the Land of Fire.

Each tour pairs the landmarks with the stories behind them, led by guides who know the history first-hand. Explore the trips below, or browse all tours in Azerbaijan and day trips from Baku.
