About this experience
Explore the architecture and heritage sites of Baku on a group or private guided tour.
This spectacular tour is made up of three parts and will first show you examples of medieval architecture in Baku from the 12th century, followed by more recent architectural developments. The excursion will begin by the entrance gates to Gosha Gala Gapisi in the Old City. The Old City is a UNESCO world-heritage listed site and is almost an open-air museum with many sights to see. After that, you will get to see some of the 19th and 20th-Century buildings in the city, which are mainly linked to the oil boom and the history of the Russian Empire. The final part of the tour discusses the Soviet occupation of Azerbaijan and life in Baku today. All the key parts in the old city are covered during the Baku tour, such as the Maiden Tower, Juma Mosque, and Shirvansah's Palace, along with a Funicular ticket.

“We had the best time on this tour with guide Ramil. He was incredibly knowledgeable, answered all our questions, and shared fascinating history. It honestly felt like exploring Baku with a local friend. He also gave us great recommendations for the rest of our trip. This tour has honestly been the highlight of our time in Azerbaijan so far – we can’t recommend Ramil highly enough. If you want a memorable and informative experience in Baku, don’t miss a tour with him!”

The tour guide was very friendly and explained a lot of things, but rushed a bit through some places. Also despite our raised concern we were told we could enter a mosque without special clothes, which was later not appreciated by the locals. All with all it was a nice tour, but the company can improve on some aspects.
