About this trip
Ten days across Azerbaijan and Georgia, two countries where futuristic skylines sit next to old stone towns and mountain monasteries. You will move from Baku's modern architecture to the ancient rock carvings at Qobustan, then cross into Georgia for medieval ruins, wine country and Caucasus scenery.
It is a sightseeing-led trip with a fair bit of ground covered, mixing city time with village life. A home-cooked lunch with a Kakheti family and a hike up to Gergeti Trinity Church give you a break from the coach window and a closer look at how people actually live here.
Expect a steady pace through cities, mountains and mud volcano landscapes, with guided visits throughout and enough walking days that you will want decent shoes.

- Explore Baku's Old Town and modern skyline
- Visit the UNESCO-listed rock art and mud volcanoes at Qobustan

What's included
- Guide: All group trips are accompanied by one of our group leader or local representative. The aim of the group leader or local representative is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. Intrepid endeavours to provide the services of an experienced group leader or local representative however, due to the seasonality of travel, rare situations may arise where your group leader or local representative is new to a particular region or training other group leader or local representative. Your group leader or local representative will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense, you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the places visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious, and social aspects. At Intrepid we aim to support local guides who have specialised knowledge of the regions we visit. If you are interested in delving deeper into the local culture at a specific site or location then your group leader or local representative can recommend a local guide service in most of the main destinations of your trip.

- Accommodation: The style of accommodation indicated in the day-to-day itinerary is a guideline only and may change. On some occasions, alternative arrangements may need to be made due to the lack of availability of rooms in our preferred accommodation. In these cases, we will use a similar standard of accommodation. Throughout the trip, we request that our properties prepare rooms in time for our arrival, especially if we're arriving prior to normal check-in time. However, this isn't always possible which means we won't be able to check-in immediately on arrival at some hotels. Instead, we can store our luggage and explore our new destination or on some trips, have use of shared day rooms until all rooms are available. Hotel (6 nights), Guesthouse (3 nights)

Worth it if you're drawn to Georgia's dramatic scenery and culture. Think twice if you need reliable logistics and consistent service standards.
- Operational failures: wrong joining instructions, wrong hotel, then Georgia subcontractor didn't meet Intrepid standards.
- Georgia accommodation was poor—one hotel had no bathroom curtains, staff were dismissive when guests complained.
- Azerbaijan guide Ramin was excellent and proactive, adapting itineraries; guides make or break this trip.
- Georgia outshines Azerbaijan for scenery and history, but both countries are tourism-immature with pockets of unexplained free time.
