Enjoy a seamless private guided Baku tour with your own car, professional English-speaking guide, and fully personalized service.
Your Baku City Tour begins at Icheri Sheher (Old City), the ancient heart of Baku. Through the Double Gates (also known as the Shamakhi Gate), you’ll step into a medieval world of cobbled streets, ancient walls, and historical monuments.
Baku was declared the capital of Azerbaijan in the 13th century after a powerful earthquake destroyed Shamakhi. The Shirvanshah dynasty moved their capital to Baku, shaping it into a significant cultural and trade center.
Here, you'll explore during Old City Baku Tour:
Standing tall within the Old City, the Maiden Tower is one of Baku’s most recognized landmarks. Originally constructed in the 6th century BC as a fire worshippers’ temple and later completed in the 12th century, it served defensive and ceremonial purposes.🟢 Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001, along with the Shirvanshahs’ Palace.
During the sightseeing tour of Baku, our next destination is the Shirvanshahs’ Palace Complex - a key highlight of any Baku sightseeing tour. Built after the capital moved from Shamakhi, this majestic complex includes:
Located on Istiglaliyyat Street, this Gothic-style palace was commissioned by millionaire Musa Naghiyev in memory of his son. Designed by architect Josef Ploska, the building was inspired by European Gothic cathedrals and took 5 years to complete. Today, it houses the Presidium of the National Academy of Sciences.
As part of the sightseeing of Baku, enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of Fountain Square, one of the city's most popular gathering spots. As part of the Baku walking tour, stroll along Nizami Street, a vibrant shopping and pedestrian zone named after the poet Nizami Ganjavi.
Conclude your Tour of Baku City at the scenic Baku Boulevard, stretching along the Caspian Sea since 1909.
Enjoy a Boat Tour, relax by the water, or visit modern malls like Daniz Mall and Park Boulevard Mall for some evening shopping.

The tour around the old city of Baku and the Martyrs' Monument was wonderful. I also entered the Carpet Museum and got acquainted with the history of Azerbaijani carpets and learned new information. The company's treatment is excellent and wonderful, and they were very helpful Alshamlan October 8, 2022
The route was well planned: park with beautiful views first, details of old city and younger city later. A nice tour with walking and driving, good mix. I had time to enjoy, got information on everything & could ask many questions. Also, lots of beautiful fotos. Baku is a beautiful city, has everything: old, modern, green and city buildings, and good tea shops, too! The guide was professional & nice, good cheerful person. My best tour for a long time, in many cities! nonili October 30, 2022
This is a city tour that you cannot miss. My guide Nurlan picked me up from the hotel and we drove to the highland Park. The weather was great so it allowed me to take nice photos. Nurlan is a great guide with huge knowledge of history and politics not only of Azerbaijan but other countries. It is actually what he studied. In addition he is a polyglot so you can switch to other languages easily e.g. German, English , Turkish. The tour was very interesting and I really enjoyed it. Don't miss the recommendations from Nurlan where to buy best baklava- it is delicious. Credits go to a driver- very professional and safe driving. This is a must tour when you are in Baku - ask for Nurlan, you will be in good hands. Happy7Voyager November 12, 2022
