Excellent Overview Tour - I had the pleasure of having Riad as my personal guide since no one else was on the tour Riad was very knowledgeable and gave me a good insight and history of the old town. He was very energetic in his explanations. It was an excellent tour to then know what to go back and see in depth You will not be disappointed if you have Riad as your guide

Amazing experience! - My guide Mirhashim was absolutely kind, thoughtful, knowledgeable! He shared fascinating insights about Azerbaijan's history and personal stories about his hometown that made the experience truly special. We had such great and interesting conversations that I almost lost track of time! I was genuinely sad to cut our chat short for my flight. If I ever return to Azerbaijan, I'll definitely look him up first. Thanks for making my citywalk unforgettable. Highly recommend!

Well organized and informative tour of Baku! - Our guide, Mirhashim, was so knowledgable and pleasant. His presentation was easy to understand and very interesting. The tour was longer than expected but was so informative and fun we didn't notice that the time was up. Highly recommended.

Your perfect glimpse into the treasures of old town- Baku - I recently took a walking tour of the old town with our guide, Mirahashim, along with two other people, and I had an amazing time. First, I want to express my appreciation for how accommodating the team was. I arrived five minutes late and reached out via the website to see if it would be possible for me to join the tour. Within a short time, I received a message from Mirahashim, who ensured I could participate. Thank you for that! Now, regarding the tour itself: our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and shared many interesting stories, making the two hours enjoyable and fun. The group consisted of three adults and him being a student, which led to a playful dynamic where we teased him a bit, and he laughed along, making the experience lighthearted and enjoyable. He also took the time to share recommendations for other things to do in Baku beyond the tour. I've participated in numerous walking tours around the world, and this one was definitely among the best. I would have been wandering the streets of the old town, admiring the sights, without truly appreciating the rich history and hidden gems of the area if Mirahashim hadn't guided us. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Baku!
