Amazing tour with an incredible guide! - It was a fantastic tour getting an overview about the most famous sights and places in Baku and also to hear more about the history, economy, culture and actual topics about Baku/Aserbaidschan. The tour guide (Orkhan) made the tour an unforgettable experience. He contacted me already 2 days before the tour (fixing pick up time and location), he asked the tour participants their special interest and even after the tour I could contact him for further questions and recommendations what to do in Baku. Really enjoyed the tour! Thanks Orkhan!

A great guide who gave us an a fantastic tour of Baku - My grown up son and i were in Baku for the Europa League Final and booked a tour - our guide was prompt in meeting us at our hotel , spoke perfect English and had an impressive knowledge of Baku history - her passion for the city and country's history was infectious and she kept the energy of her narration up for the entire 5 hour duration of our tour. This was a little on the pricey side but we both felt it was worth it and came away with a real sense of the great city of Baku!

Excellent introduction to Baku - Our private tour was a wonderful experience. Our guide Orkhan had in-depth knowledge of Baku and Azerbaijan. We appreciated that he shared a lot of cultural and traditional information with us which we otherwise would not have had a chance to learn. Orkhan was very hospitable. His choice of a traditional meal for lunch was excellent. The incredible architecture of the Heydar Aliyev center and the Flame Towers was something to behold. The exhibits at the cultural center were very interesting. The views from the Highland Park were incredible. The carpet museum is great example of Azerbaijani culture and history. The old city was charming and fascinating. We ended up going back to the old city on our last day in Baku for more exploration.

The fantastic architecture of the Heydar Aliyev center and the Flame Towers was something to behold. The Memorial of the Martyrs was great. The old city was charming and fascinating. The carpet museum is a must see.
