We were in Baku for 3 nights and 4 days... And we managed to cover most of the sights in Baku... Starting from the Airport pick up everything was very well organized and on time... Th hotel they picked for us was in right in the city center so everything was very accessible... It was a reasonably priced tour and the tour guides Mr Kamaran and Mr. Azar were very helpful... Thank u BEST BAKU TOURS

The tour was good and Karim was very knowledgeable and helpful. It was shorter than I expected though and we finished by 1pm even though the pick up was at 9.30am or after. Did not get a chance to go to the loo or eat a proper lunch
Perfect day with perfect guide!

I was in Baku for the Europa League Final so thought I'd see some of the town. Had a great English speaking guide who took me all over a fascinating city and had a great grasp of history. Very informative and value for money. Recommended if you're on a short visit.
