Highlights

Maiden Tower - The Maiden Tower is a Baku landmark, a much loved symbol of the city and of Azerbaijan. It looms dark and enigmatic, looking out to sea from the southern edge of Baku´s old, walled city, the Icheri Sheher. The origins of the tower are shrouded in mystery - no-one knows for certain when it was built or what it was built for or even how it acquired its name Maiden Tower (Qiz qalasi). No written sources survive that record its construction or original function.

The insiders guide to Baku and Azerbaijan - Abdullah was a font of knowledge and so enthusiastic. I now feel I have a reasonable grip on azerbaijani history and culture. I even asked him a few curly questions about the political situation…his silence was golden🤣🇦🇿 So pleased I went on the tour…

OUTSTANDING! - I REALLY enjoyed this tour with Abdullah- Thoughtfully crafted, engaging history, delightful storytelling, good pacing, and incredibly fluent English. Additionally, Abdullah is an impressive human in general and just down right interesting to talk to. Lots of elements made this tour worth the time and investment and as a solo American female traveler I highly recommend it!

An interesting and friendly walk - I did this trip with Abdullah who communicated well to confirm times etc. There was the right amount of information given, not too much as sometimes is the case. Abdullah was an i te resting man who spoke to the 3 of us almost as if we were people he actually knew rather than people he was just spending a couple of hours with. We were given recommendations for places/food etc too which is always good. Highly recommended.

A journey through time that you will never forget - We had a magnificent journey back in time with our guide. Highly recommended, very knowledgeable and with excellent English. Don't miss the opportunity to be accompanied by Abdullah through the streets of the old city of Baku. Price is fair. Thanks a lot Abdullah, we will for sure recommend you to our Italian friends going to visit Baku!

A tour does not deliver on its promises. - While Abdulla, our guide, was knowledgeable and engaging about the history, the tour did not follow the advertised program. Unfortunately, we did not visit many of the sites that were listed in the itinerary. This discrepancy between what was promised and what was delivered made the tour feel like poor value for the price we paid. While I appreciate Abdulla's efforts as a hardworking student striving for the best education, my main concerns are with the tour organizers. It is unacceptable to charge a high fee for a tour that fails to deliver on its promises. I hope this feedback will be taken seriously and that improvements will be made to ensure future tours meet expectations.
