Excellent tour with Jamshed - Our guide Jamshed was excellent and highly knowledgeable making the tour a real highlight of our holiday! His passion for and knowledge of the history of Azerbaijan really shows as he was able to give us deep historical context and stories around the sights we visited in Baku. From the natural gas and fire erupting out the side of the hill, to the zoroastrian fire temple and then modern architecture of the Heydar Aliyev centre, we enjoyed every stop of this tour! Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Baku!

Three hours well spent - A short journey to the outskirts of town and back to see the temple, the mountain and the "I love Baku" sign with the intriguing Heydar Aliyev Center designed by Zaha Hadid in the background. In spite of the heavy traffic, everything went quite smoothly. Guide was kind and talkative. Nothing unforgettable, definitely not the trip of a lifetime, but three hours well spent.
