Highly recommended introductory tour of Old Baku. - I did the free walking tour on a Saturday morning in March. The tour lasted 2.5 hours starting at Fountains Square, walking through the old city and then around the walls outside of the old city and back to Fountains Square. 13 people had signed up, but only 7 showed up. Gani was our guide. Gani is local, very experienced and very pleasant. He managed to make the whole tour very interesting and interactive without any boring moments. He could answer convisingly any random question that was fired at him, and provide very informative and interesting background on anything that had to do with the history, culture, religion and politics of both the past and present Azerbajian. I particularly enjoyed the many maps and pictures that he showed us, especially the photos of old Baku in contrast with the current situation at the same locations, which was eye opening. The tour does not include entrance to any museums or sights (e.g. Maiden Tower, Shirvanshahs Palace, etc.), except the free miniature books museum, but provides you with all the information you need to then visit all such places within the old city on your own. At the end of the tour we were provided with a paper providing tips for restaurants, shopping etc. and Gani answered all our specific questions about what else to visit, what to buy and where etc. All in all, this was one of the best walking tours I have ever taken, even more so considering that it was free. But please remember to tip at the end if you are happy with it.

Amazing tour with Gani. - Informative and interesting tour. Gani was a fantastic guide. Best we've had in Azerbaijan. We never felt bored or disinterested throughout the 2 and half hours. He told interesting facts in a comical way and included legends about some of the landmarks which we really loved. After the tour Gani recommended some of the more authentic and affordable restaurants which we ended up loving.

Azerbaijan Traveller - The guide tour of the old city of Baku was very informative and interesting. Gani who was our guide was very knowledgeable and an in-depth know of Azerbaijan history and the cultural impact of Ottomans, Persians, Russians and the West when they came to Azerbaijan when oil was discovered. Strongly recommend to join him in exploring the richness of Baku and Azerbaijan culture.

Baku walking tour - The trip was really nice. Gani was very informative and helpful even later in giving us details of local activities. We greatly enjoyed the walk.

One of the best free walking tours I have taken so far - My friend and I took the free walking tour in Baku and we had an excellent time. These tours only and only depend on how good your guide is and in our case it was the famous “Gani” about whom we had read good reviews even before coming to Baku. So the tour was very informative, crisp and fun. The history of the country was beautifully presented by Gani and his perspectives were also very interesting to know. I highly recommend this tour to anyone going to Baku and looking for an insight into its history and culture along with some good laughs!

Definately recommend walking tour with Gani - Gani is knowledge, organised, quirky and funny. We did the old baku walking tour with him and it was a pleasant and enjoyable experience. Would recommend 💯

Colourful culture - İt was amazing! We traveled through the whole old city and learned how colourful bakü actually has been !

Great experience - Thoughtful stroll across history of baku with great historical content along with great guide who explained every bit of detail possible in a humorous way

Amazing experience - We’ve been to Azerbaijan a week or so and had many tours, but this one was my favorite. The charisma and passion of the guide had left me speachless❗️ We loved every minute of it. It’s a must. So if you have two and a half hours to explore the inner town, choose this one.

Baku Tour - Great Guide Lots of informations Highly recommendable Walking was easy, could have been a little more in öy opinion, but it was really hot so thanks for choosing spaces in the shade
