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.
