- 1Azerbaijan Travel International, with pleasure, presents our guests the Old City tour. By taking our Old City tour, you will have amazing walk in the heart of Baku, a place where architectural styles and historical events intertwine. While listening to our guide you will have a chance to enjoy the harmonious interaction among the ancient oriental buildings of a typical medieval city, the European-style mansions of the “oil barons” of the early 20th century, Soviet architecture, and ultramodern hotels. Moreover, you will be informed about the unique history of Maiden Tower, City Walls, Monument to Lovers and Cats, Juma Mosque, Chinese Mosque, and many other important places of interest. The culture, people, architecture and further aspects of the Old City is different from the whole Baku which means it is “the city inside a city”.

About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- GhazanfarA160 contributionsMountains, Monuments and a Marvelous guide.The Gobustan & Absheron group tour was a fantastic journey through Azerbaijan’s rich history, made truly special by our incredible guide, Sölmaz Khanam. Her knowledge was impressive, and her sense of humor kept the entire group entertained and engaged throughout the day. From the ancient carvings of Gobustan to the surreal landscapes of the Absheron Peninsula, every stop was brought to life through her storytelling. While the tour itself was well-paced and informative, the only letdown was the lunch — it was too basic and not very filling, especially after an active morning. I’d happily give this tour 5 stars if the lunch matched the quality of the rest of the experience. Still, it’s a must-do, and if Sölmaz is your guide, you’re in excellent hands.Written 22 March 2025
- Mohnish_patil0 contributionsSuperb ExperienceI would highly recommend this company for planning your tours and you would be very lucky if you come across Nazperi as your tour guide as she is amazingly good, speaks very fluent and clear English; she is very knowledgeable and is super funny. She is the best your guide I have ever come acrossWritten 21 March 2025

- kymblair0 contributionsAzerbaijan is amazing!The natural sites in Azerbaijan are amazing, and the ability of our guide to deliver so many in one day is amazing. Some are UNESCO sites. We saw 40,000 year old petroglyphs, mud volcanoes, methane-fed flames that have been burning for millennia, the first oil well in the world, and several museums. We also stopped for an excellent lunch to fuel us up for the afternoon. Our guide, Solmaz, spoke excellent English (and Russian, Turkish, and Azerbaijan) and educated us on each site and on life and culture in Azerbaijan. This 8-hour tour covers so much outside Baku. Highly recommended!Written 19 March 2025

On February 3, I took a tour of the Old City with guide Heydar. I was left with the most positive impressions! It was a story from an interested person, with attention to detail and interesting stories related not only to the old city, but to Azerbaijan in general. We were informed that the tour would last about two hours, instead Heydar led the tour for 2 hours and 40 minutes (of course, at our mutual request) at no additional cost. If Heydar reads this review, then I convey THANKS to him again! And in conclusion, two pieces of advice: firstly, you should definitely take tours of the old city - you will get a completely different impression from it, and secondly, I recommend this company, because all of its guides are very good!

We took a walking tour of the old city and it was one of the best decision of our trip. It was a very knowledgeable and informative tour.
And the highlight of our tour was our guide -Nazperi, a very dedicated person with in-depth knowledge of every fine details of the city and its history and current status.
She explained to us the stories and details of every architecture and statues of the old city and gave us ample time to explore the Maiden tower and Palace of the Shirvanshahs and miniature books museum and old bazar square and she waited patiently without hurrying us and explaining every small details.
She gave us recommendations for shopping and dining and other activities which was on point
Overall it was an exceptional service from ATI, very welcoming and professional people with excellent communication and knowledge
Our only regret was that we dint book our other tours with them.
Definitely recommend them to anyone coming to Azerbaijan for the first time for an unforgettable experience and if you’re lucky, you’ll get Nazperi as your guide and that will be a bonus !!
Thank you ATI and Nazperi 🎉🎉

Very informative guide ( Heyder) made it fun and interesting. There’s a lot of facts to hear but the guide kept your interest. I would recommend this tour , we were short on time and it was good to get a quick comprehensive insight into the history of the city in a short amount of time. I would advise getting a walking tour rather than trying to work it out for yourself, this way you’re less likely to get any hassle and will learn a lot more about Baku.

I took a private tour for Baku old city and my tour guide was Nazperi from Azerbaijaan Travel international company. The moment I met my guide Nazperi we hit it instantly. Nazperi is really warm by nature and has an infectious smile. She guided me with each and every intricate details of Baku old town during our tour with so much passion and warmth. She was kind enough to answer all my doubts about the Old city. I’m sure she really loves her job and is very enthusiastic and passionate about it. I would love to go for more tours with her. And I would recommend everyone coming to Baku to go on a guided tour with Nazperi and with Azerbaijaan Travel international company they are extremely professional and will ensure you have a great experience while in Baku. They are happy to help the tourists with anything they like.
Great Job guys!
Would love to comeback soon and go for other tours as well.

Thanks to guide Gaidar for the best excursion of my life! Usually excursions are boring, there are a whole bunch of people and somewhere in the distance a guide is rushing somewhere, with whom you can’t keep up. I expected something similar today, but no! Gaidar does his job perfectly, it seems as if he knows everything and can tell a separate interesting story about every pebble. A very attentive, friendly, cheerful person who tells everything in an incredibly fascinating way. I have never listened so carefully on excursions before. The city itself is stunningly beautiful! There is a feeling that there is no piece of earth where your eyes are not delighted with what they see. I definitely recommend it🤌🏻👏🏻❤️

Our tour of Old Baku was unforgettable, thanks to our amazing guide Nazperi. Her deep knowledge and passion for the city’s history brought landmarks like the Maiden Tower and Shirvanshah’s Palace to life. Every story and detail she shared added a rich layer to the experience, from the city’s Silk Road origins to its modern cultural significance.
She was engaging, patient, and attentive, tailoring the tour to our interests and answering every question with insight. Her warmth and local tips made the experience even more enjoyable. If you’re visiting Baku, her services is a must—transforming a stroll through the Old City into an extraordinary journey through time!

Special thanks to Ms. Jamila who was prompt in arranging this tour. Without her I would not have hopped on these tours.
We had an amazing experience exploring Baku with our guide, Mr. Seyid. From the Old City tour to the breathtaking Baku by Night tour, he made every moment enjoyable with his jovial and friendly personality. His deep knowledge of the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems added so much value to our trip.
Mr. Seyid’s enthusiasm and storytelling made the Old City come alive, and his recommendations ensured we experienced the best of Baku. The night tour was equally mesmerizing, with beautifully illuminated landmarks and a fantastic atmosphere.
If you’re visiting Baku, I highly recommend taking a tour with Mr. Seyid. His warm hospitality and passion for his city make him an exceptional guide!
