What To Expect
Baku Old City
The tour begins with a short drive to Icherisheher, Baku’s UNESCO-listed Old City, where a guided walk starts at the Double Gate and continues through narrow stone-paved streets shaped by centuries of urban and defensive planning. Guests explore key landmarks including the Maiden Tower, the Palace of the Shirvanshahs, Juma Mosque, Muhammad Mosque, and Murtuza Mosque, reflecting pre-Islamic and medieval Azerbaijani architecture. The route also includes the historic Bukhara and Multani Caravanserais, Bazaar Square, the Agha Mikayil Bath, the Saint Bartholomew Church site, the Miniature Book Museum, and Vahid’s Garden. The tour offers an immersive walking experience with photo opportunities and in-depth commentary from a private guide, with approximately 3 hours spent exploring the Old City.
Heydar Aliyev Cultural Center
The tour continues with a fifteen-minute drive to the Heydar Aliyev Cultural Center, an iconic example of contemporary architecture designed by Zaha Hadid and completed in 2012. The center exemplifies parametric design and fluid geometry with undulating surfaces and seamless continuity, integrating modern engineering with cultural symbolism. Its concrete structure is reinforced with a space-frame system, achieved through advanced computational design techniques that ensure both aesthetic fluidity and structural stability. Guests spend approximately 60 minutes exploring the center, gaining insight into its architectural innovation and cultural significance.

Well worth it

5.00We took a Private tour of Baku. The experience was really good. I suggest this trip to anyone visiting Baku for the first time. It’s more expensive than the rest of tours but very much worth it. We were a small group of 3 and the detailed explanation and tailor made trip was really great. The experience was made great by our guide Shahriyar. Anyone taking this trip should ask for him. Great trip
Great Service

5.00Entire arrangement done by VLA Toursim from picking up from the Hotel to taking various places in Baku city Tour was flawless. Driver was very punctual, Mr. Valeh was always proactive in terms of providing help, checking with wellbeling and giving inputs on the city tour. Entire journey was very leisure and was not getting rushed by driver or for VLA. infact once we have delayed and was not able to see one of the place due to non availability of the time, However Mr. Valeh was kind enough to offer the same to accomodate on other day though it was not part of the schedule.
