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.

We saw pretty much everything I had looked up beforehand. I was glad the tour didn't miss any spots and was really efficient with time, yet still gave us a lot of details about each place we visited.
Outstanding experience and a very good time spent. Well educated team with high customer service. Came on time to pick us up and until the last minute were taking care of us.
Went on a city tour with my husband and toddler and was really impressed! Our guide Tahir was very informative and knowledgeable, and very accommodating to our toddler. We hit all the highlights in the walking tour and Tahir was able to answer all our questions. Highly recommended!
Loveddd Baku!!! We travelled to the burning mountain, fire temple, mosque, old city etc.. It was very insightful, lot of history to the city. Tahir our guide is very well versed with the details of the city, telling us about the culture and history. He made us was in love with Baku with all the insights that he had, sharing the information with his subtle humour made the day super amazingggg!!!
Entire team is very professional & pleasure to deal with. To begin with our booking was handled very well by Lamia - very prompt in her responses & went out of her way to make us comfortable. The tour coverage was very good. Tour guide Tahir speaks fluent English & in no time we became friends with him. He knows his job very well & was extremely courteous. He also guided us on good places to spend our evenings & have dinner. Driver Arif too was very good & was with us all the time. Both of them can really make you feel special on your holiday.
