City tour with Rza - We were informed by the travel tour ahead of time. The pick up and drop off were on time and smooth . Our tour guide Rza, was very accommodating and friendly. He was very informative about the beautiful attractions that we passed by. To top it all, we enjoyed the free coffee during the tour. I highly recommend the Heritage travel when you visit Azerbaijan.

A nice walk in town - Had a lovely time taking this tour and my guide Suleyman ( second time guiding me) took good care of me. The tour itself is mainly done on foot with a car dropping you off and picking you up at certain spots. The difference between the day tour and the night tour is that on the day tour you go to the Carpet museum, Maiden Tower, the palace, old town and the miniature book museum while on the night tour you instead go to a view point of Crystal Hall and go to the Heydar Aliyev Center. Besides that, it's the same.
