Excellent Tour ! - I had excellent Half Day Baku Sightseeing Tour with Baku Tours and Guide Gunay. Gunay was prompt, very knowledgeable, and accommodating. She went the extra mile to make sure I had adequate time at each site to ask questions ,and take photos. Gunay clearly has a passion for her beautiful city and for sharing it with others ! Very pleasant experience ! Highly recommend Baku Tours and Gunay as your Guide.

Baku at a glance - We had a wonderful half-day visit (almost 7 hours!) with Gunay of Baku Explorer. She was competent, funny and bright. We visited most of the main sites in downtown Baku, including the Old Town, the Palace, the Tower, took a cable ride to the Flames and generally had a perfect day. The pace was smooth and relaxe. My wife and I highly recommend this walking tour!

Great experience with a local touch - I took this tour as a part of solo travelling through many countries and I must say, this has been one of the good ones. The tour guide (Azay) has great knowledge of the historical sites and its very helpful with other off-tour requests. Also, Azay is very proficient in English and Spanish, which makes the tour even easier to follow and not miss details, if you come from America. Great tour experience with a friendly local guide that feels like a friend.
