Worth the experience to get a half day out and around Baku without going on a long 12hr day trip. The tour takes you to 6-7 sites in the vicinity of Baku with a mix of historical, cultural and natural attractions. Javid the guide is a real character, he keeps the energy going and gets a good laugh out of everyone even in the most oppressive heat and when legs are weakening (the day I went was particularly hot).
