Cannot miss this in Baku - fantastic trip. Cannot believe it’s free! Our tour guide, Mirhashim, tough still very young, is quite knowledgeable. The tour itself is fantastic. You get to experience the city with people from all over the world. Mirhashim is so nice that he even took an Iran girl who asked him for the direction on our trip with her family. Turns out that she’s also a tour guide. And she knows Arabics as well so she becomes our second tour guide. And the other family in the original group is so nice as well. So moved by their love story. They gave us valuable information regarding preorder our food in that big two-story bazar.

Free Old Town Walking Tour - We had a fantastic tour of Baku with Riad — knowledgeable, warm, and engaging throughout. He brought the Old City to life, from the Maiden Tower to the Shirvanshah’s Palace, and introduced us to hidden gems like the Miniature Book Museum.
Riad seamlessly connected Baku’s rich past with its modern landmarks, weaving history, culture, and insight into every stop. A thoughtful and memorable guide — highly recommended!

Delightful tour - The tour was great, and although there was only 2 of us participating, Mirhashim was detailed and professional. Didn't make us feel like he doesn't want to do the tour as it happens sometimes with low turnout. I liked the fact that I learned about the history and got a better understanding of Azerbaijan and Baku.

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
