      Bringing History to Life – An Unforgettable Tour with Ughur
      We had an amazing tour with Ughur, who guided us through the mud volcanoes, Gobustan, the Zoroastrianism Museum, and Yanardag. He has a modern and engaging way of presenting history, making the stories come alive rather than just listing facts. His insights and storytelling style kept us interested throughout the day. He was also very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional, ensuring we had a smooth and enjoyable experience. On top of that, he recommended a great place for lunch, where we got to enjoy delicious local food. If you’re looking for a guide who can make Azerbaijan’s rich history both fun and fascinating, Ughur is the perfect choice!

      The tour was great. We started on time and also came back on time. Our guide Ughur had all the information and was not rushing through it during the tour. Got enough time to take pictures and had a memorable experience.

      Gobustan Trip
      The trip was excellent! Toghrul was an engaging guide—knowledgeable, witty, and refreshingly realistic in his storytelling. His ability to blend history with a touch of sarcasm made the experience both informative and entertaining. The only area for improvement would be the van’s seating arrangement; sitting face-to-face, especially backwards, can contribute to motion sickness. Aside from that, everything was well-organized and enjoyable.

      Amazing time in Azerbaijan
      We had an amazing time on our Shahdag tour today! The experience was truly unforgettable. Our tour guide, Layela, was incredibly helpful and kind. City Tours has a fantastic team, and Mirza was also a great help.

      Great trip. We saw a lot in one day. I wish the SUV vehicles had belts though and the driving was slower but no traffic off-road so suppose it was safe enough! (This was a different driver to the main one, like a taxi driver). The guide was really great. I did however find the trip a little rushed st times but appreciate we saw a lot. Lunch could have been at a better and cleaner place

    I had an absolutely wonderful experience exploring Baku with Aysu as our guide. Her knowledge of the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems was impressive, and she shared it all with such enthusiasm and passion. Aysu’s friendly and professional demeanor made the entire tour enjoyable and comfortable.

    Her recommendations for local spots and food were spot-on, adding a personal touch to the experience. From the breathtaking views of the Flame Towers to the charm of the Old City, every moment was made memorable thanks to her guidance.

    I highly recommend Aysu for anyone looking to explore Baku in the best way possible. Thank you, Aysu, for an unforgettable journey!

    I am writing to share my recent experience with Baku Tours, and I must say that it was truly amazing. During my visit, I particularly enjoyed exploring the Old City, where the blend of Arab, Muslim, Russian, and Persian architecture was truly captivating.

    I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation for our guide, Nihad. His knowledge about Baku's history and culture was extensive, and he did an excellent job of explaining everything to us in a clear and engaging manner. His passion for the city was evident, and it truly enhanced our overall experience.

    Based on my positive experience with Baku Tours, I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking to explore and learn more about Baku. The professionalism and expertise demonstrated by the team, especially our guide Nihad, were truly commendable.

    We had an overall good experience knowing about the country and its culture. Special kudos to our guide, Aysu - who was extremely active, jovial and helpful. Our group was small, with 6 people, and hence had a good walk around with others as well. Though light rain played spoilsport, the city tour lasted around 4 hours covering old city and parts of new city. Please note that this does not inlcude access to any of the sights, though we did come back later to visit the attractions as tickets are required to be taken for entrance.

    Take offs - Monday is a holdiay for most attractions & you cannot visit the carpet musueum, miniature museum or Funicular ride.

    The tour was very fun and interesting. We have seen both the old and the newest parts of the city and the comparison was very nice. Aysu was our guide who was very friendly and helpful. She always made sure we heard anything she said. They were also very kind to our schedule because we had to change the reservation a few times.

    Very good tour of old and modern Baku. Beautiful architecture and historical sights and the guide himself was insightful and informative. All accessible and easy to get around. The only let down was being ripped off at a restaurant whilst being with our tour guide - always ask for a menu with prices instead of assuming you wouldn’t get cheated just because you have a local guide with you.

    Baku City Tours was super prompt with WhatsApp communication, and we also received re-confirmation from our guide Aysu the day before. She knew Icherisheher (Old City) like the back of her hand and efficiently guided us through the various alleys and shortcuts (Trust me its like a maze, and easy to get lost). She knew everything that I asked of her, and was super happy to take as many pictures that I requested. Also loved the funicular ride from Highland Park to the Carpet Museum.

    Yashar was a very good tour guide. He was very friendly and told us a lot about the history. We unfortunately went to a tourist trap restaurant for lunch where we overpaid for average food, but Yashar promised he would no longer take guests there
