About Alaskar's Car Tours
Salam and welcome! I am a licensed driver and tour host based in Baku
with 8 years of professional experience guiding international travelers
across Azerbaijan and the wider Caucasus.
I speak English and Russian fluently and hold an official passenger
transport license. Our vehicles are clean, air-conditioned, and well-maintained -
comfortable for long days on the road, with bottled water, phone chargers,
and tissues provided on every trip free of charge. Non-smoking vehicle,
child seat available on request.
We specialize in multi-day private tours through Azerbaijan's regions:
the cobblestone streets and UNESCO-listed Khan's Palace of Sheki, the
alpine forests, waterfalls, and Tufandag cable car in Gabala, the ancient
mountain village of Khinalug at 2,200 meters where families still speak
their own pre-Indo-European language, the wine cellars of Ismayilli,
the apple orchards of Quba, the mud volcanoes and 40,000-year-old
petroglyphs of Gobustan, and the Caspian coast down to Lankaran.
Beyond driving, we help with everything around the trip - recommending
trusted guest houses and hotels, booking authentic local restaurants,
translating in places where English is not spoken, and finding the spots
no guidebook will tell you about: a family-run tea house by a mountain
river, the best viewpoint for sunset over the Caucasus, a workshop where
artisans still make hand-painted pottery the traditional way.
Our approach is flexible and personal. The itinerary adapts to what you
love - slow down, add a stop, change the route, stay an extra hour at a
place you connect with. We work with solo travelers, couples, families
with children, and small groups, adjusting the pace to whatever feels
right for you.
Whether it is a half-day Baku city tour, an airport transfer, or a
week-long expedition through Azerbaijan's regions, you will have a
trusted companion on the road. Looking forward to showing you the
real Azerbaijan.
