5.00The Old and Modern Baku tour was a very enjoyable experience 🌆✨ It was a great opportunity to see both the historical and modern parts of the city in one trip. The old city was beautiful and full of history, while the modern areas were impressive and very lively. The day and night views of Baku were amazing, especially seeing the city lights in the evening 🌃 Everything was well organized, and the tour felt comfortable and interesting from beginning to end. Overall, it was a great experience and a wonderful way to explore different sides of Baku in one tour 👍

5.00An absolutely fantastic walking tour through old and modern Baku in March 2026! It was the perfect way to kick off a long weekend in the city and get a real feel for its unique blend of history and contemporary life. A special shoutout to our guide Leyla, who was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging throughout the tour. She made everything come alive with her stories and insights. On top of that, she took amazing photos of me along the way—such a thoughtful and appreciated touch! Highly recommended for anyone visiting Baku and wanting a great introduction to the city.
Wonderful

5.00I had a long transit in Baku while travelling and thought of exploring it. Applied for online visa which was straightforward and the since I had a limited time, I chose 2-3 hours of tour guide to cover most important places of the city. Leyla was nice, friendly and very professional. She took wonderful photos, showed us all the places and brief description on significance of those places. I would highly recommend them.
Great highlight tour of Baku

5.00I chose the private (with pickup) option for this tour, as I was travelling with my senior parent, and I wanted her to be comfortable with the pace. We were picked up promptly at our hotel, and were joined by our tour guide shortly thereafter. Because it was cold (early March), our tour started at the Heydar Aliyev Centre, and we proceeded to through all the highlights of the city in sequence. I have been on a lot of tours, and most of the guides are always kind, considerate, well informed, and welcoming. This guide, Elcan, went above and beyond. A young, sprightly, enthusiastic person, he put up with two older ladies traipsing along at their own pace without complaint. He didn't hurry us through the tour (even though he could easily have), and took the time to explain each attraction to us in detail. He even helped my mother over slightly trickier terrain, and he absolutely did not have to do that. It was much appreciated though. A word of appreciation for the tour company as well; they were communicative, prompt and mostly quite flexible. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour.
