Fun and informative - I did this tour while on a quick solo trip to Azerbaijan and it was really fun and informative. My guide Azay was a great conversationalist - I learned a lot of interesting facts about the history and culture of Azerbaijan, and also got some good local tips for things to see and do for the rest of my trip! We were able to see most of the major landmarks during the tour, and the city is especially spectacular by night (and also much cooler, since my visit was in summer). A perfect way to kick off my trip!

Had the absolute best time in Azerbaijan thanks to Baku Tours! - I cannot begin to recommend Baku Tours enough! They are so communicative and friendly and I was really lucky to have Arif as a guide for the evening tour of Baku; not only did we see of the sites but I also learned a great deal about contemporary Azeri culture and we had really great conversations.
I also did a second tour visiting sites like Yaner Dag and it was simply amazing! Take one of their tours - you won’t be disappointed and I am really grateful for Arif’s expertise!

Excellent night trip - My guide was a University student. He was excellent in sharing the history of Azerbaijan and provided a good perspective of how the younger generation view the nation and its society.

Walking Baku Tour - Had a few hours to spare last night and decided on a walking tour. It was scheduled at 7pm but unfortunately i was late due to traffic which i have not factored since it was my first time in Baku. But Baku tours was considerate and did not cancel, instead they moved it to 8pm. I met my tour guide Arif and he was very young but very knowledgeable in history and showed me around as was in the tour agenda. I would like to commend Arif for a job well done. He is articulate, considerate and likeable. I enjoyed the casual night stroll. Baku is an amazing city. I will certainly recommend this tour to my friends.

Really informative - I think our guide was called Shahil.
He was amazing. His enthusiasm for Baku and its architecture was infectious.
He was very informative and interesting. It was a great way to orientate ourselves in Baku so that we could wonder around on our own the next day.
