5.00Our tour guide Musa was very knowledgeable and thoughtful. I was with my elderly mum who understands Russian and my 8years old son who only understands in English. He was helping my mum, and translating and entertaining my little son too. The tour was quite interesting, the tour mini bus was warm considering outside was quite cold and windy.

5.00We had a great experience with City Tours Baku, especially thanks to our guide Sayed. The trip was very well organized and enjoyable from start to finish. We visited Gobustan, the Fire Temple (Ateshgah), Fire Mountain (Yanar Dag), and learned about the first oil wells, which was very interesting and informative. Sayed explained everything clearly, shared local history, and was very friendly and professional throughout the tour. The timing was perfect, the places were amazing, and the overall experience was worth it. I highly recommend City Tours Baku and guide Sayed to anyone visiting Baku and wanting to explore Azerbaijan’s history and culture.

5.00One of the best experiences, this was my family's first trip with a group of strangers. Sayed is definitely a great host and guide, he went out of his way to ensure everyone was comfortable, cared for and always made us laugh with his witty jokes. Overall very happy with the service. Special thanks to Sayed as he went out of his way to ensure we had good vegetarian lunch arrangement for my family. I was initially unsure of using a group tour, but these guys definitely changed my perception. Highly recommended!!!!
A great day.
