5.00I had a fantastic city tour of Baku covering both the historic Old City and the modern side of the city. The tour was well-organized, informative, and gave a great perspective on how Baku beautifully blends its rich history with modern architecture and development. A special thank you to our guide, Sayed, who was knowledgeable, professional, and engaging throughout the tour. He shared interesting historical facts, local insights, and answered every question with patience and enthusiasm. His passion for the city made the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Baku for the first time. It’s an excellent way to understand the city’s culture, history, and transformation. Thank you, Sayed, for making it such a memorable experience!

5.00We did a tour in Russian with Said. It's cool, no rush... They even rescheduled it because they wanted to take a tea break. The perfect tour to walk around town and not waste your time planning. Some historical and funny facts...
A wonderful day in Baku.

5.00You can post something like this: “An exceptional experience from start to finish. Although the listing says ‘Night Baku Tour’, we did the daytime experience and it was absolutely beautiful. Baku has such a fascinating blend of history and modern architecture, and seeing the city during the day gave us the chance to appreciate every detail. The itinerary covered many of the city’s highlights and was very well organized. The tour itself is designed to showcase both old and modern Baku. A special thank you to Ayshen, who made the experience memorable. She was warm, knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about sharing the history and culture of Azerbaijan. She answered questions thoughtfully, kept the group engaged, and added personal touches that made the tour feel more meaningful than simply visiting landmarks. It felt less like being guided through a city and more like being introduced to it by a friend who genuinely loves it. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Baku for the first time.
