Most intensive and enjoyable experience. - It could not have been better! Our knowledgeable and personable guide took us to the main places of interest and gave a detailed talk on the subject. The same in the Old City. Most fascinating and educational! An absolute treat with the addition of being available for any other questions or advice that we mayneed!

Great experience - Did a morning tour just 2 of us with Riad. He was very good at communicating via WhatsApp to check we were still coming. Interesting tour, provided recommendations and other information when the tour finished. Good experience and recommend.

An amazing walking tour - Absolutely amazing walking tour led by Riad. We were the only people on the tour so we were able to ask additional questions. Riad demonstrated an excellent knowledge of the history of the old town as well as more recent history. The tour was lively and entertaining and we learnt such a lot in a short space of time. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Baku. Thank you.

Fantastic Walking Tour of Baku’s Old City with Riad! - I had the pleasure of joining Riad for a one-hour walking tour through the Old City of Baku, and it was an absolute highlight of my stay! The tour was both engaging and informative – the perfect mix of history, local insight, and personal anecdotes. What really stood out was Riad himself: his easygoing, humorous, and genuinely likeable personality made the experience feel more like a walk with a knowledgeable friend than a formal guided tour. We had some truly interesting conversations not only about the rich history of Baku but also about its present-day life and rapid development. If you're looking for a relaxed yet insightful introduction to Baku, I can’t recommend Riad enough. Thank you for such a memorable experience!

Baku : The wind swept city. - Mirhashim was an excellent and highly knowledgeable person and we were lucky to have him as our Baku Old City Walking tour guide. Mirhashim contacted us the day before via WhatsApp, making sure we were aware of the meeting point and the location map was sent by him again. He came equipped with printed slides which he used to make the tour more visually interactive. His stories or rather recounting of moments in history was not only informative but accurate timeline historically. He used humour and knowledge to make the tour engrossing and interesting. End of the tour, he was kind enough to inform us of the possible scams or tourist traps we could encounter and how we should avoid them. He also gave us a list of recommendations for restaurants, pubs, coffee shops to visit. We did pick two of his recommended restaurants and they did hit the spot right. Thanks Mirhashim. All the best.
