5.00Sayed was an amazing tour guide and it helps that he is passionate about making good pictures. I enjoyed walking though the old city and learning about the history, it rained all 4 hours but it was an amazing morning. I recommend.

5.00Had a great time with our Tour Guide, Sayed. Through the rain and all, we made it through all the destinations we wanted to see while getting a history and political lesson (and the history and political layout is one of complexity). Sayed was patient with us as there are so many picture worthy places (we had an influencer in our group who loved the camera) and Sayed is a great photographer. If you come to Baku, you should book this trip. It is a tour of around 3 hours, which I love that timing. I would suggest doing this tour when you first get here as Sayed will give you the best recommendations for what to do, see, shop and eat while you stay in Baku

5.00We had an amazing walking tour of Old Baku with Sayed, he was very knowledgeable, kind and made amazing photos. We were not so lucky with the weather as it rainy for the entire tour but we had a really fun time, who knew Umbrella photos were so cute. It was very nice to learn about historical events and monuments. This is a great tour for getting to know Baku. I recommend.

4.00A very good way to see the main sights of Baku for a few hours on foot and with a knowledgeable, English-speaking local. Ideal for a 'first day' experience and our guide, Ayshen, was very friendly, informative, and linguistically skilled. I learned a lot!
Do the Baku old and modern tour!

5.00Ayshen is a fantastic tour guide! She is incredibly knowledgeable about the regions history and you can tell she really enjoys giving the tour as well. Wonderful experience and would highly recommend. The price/fee is not very high either, you get a lot of value for your money and time. The sights and views are amazing and well worth it. Ask for Ayshen!
great guide
