📍 Start at Icheri Sheher(Old City) for walking tour
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:
- The Caravanserais – Multani and Bukhara, once home to merchants from India, Pakistan, and Uzbekistan
- Historic Hamams (Bathhouses) – used by travelers before entering the city
- Notable sites: Baku Khans’ House, the Sailors House, the Chain House, and the famous Cat House
📍 Visit the Iconic Maiden Tower during the Old City Walking 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.
📍 Explore the Shirvanshahs' Palace Complex
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:
- Main Palace building
- Palace Mosque and Minaret
- Divankhana (royal hall)
- Mausoleums (including Seyid Yahya Bakuvi’s)
- Murad’s Gate and sacred underground Bathhouse
📍 See the Ismailiyya Palace
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.
📍 Stroll Through Fountain Square & Nizami Street
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.
📍 End at Baku Boulevard & Caspian Sea
Conclude your Tour of Baku City at the scenic Baku Boulevard, stretching along the Caspian Sea since 1909.

Amazing old and new Baku city tour
Me and my wife had the most amazing city tour with Elsever our guide and Kamil who drove us around. The vehicle was a Mercedes van, and was very comfy. Most of the tour was on foot and Elsever was very knowledgeable, going into detail about history and taking us to little nooks that typical tourists miss. He was also careful to tell us which are the best places to go to, which places to avoid. There is a lot of history hidden in plain sight and would definitely come back to this company for tours 😇 The prices are a little above average of what you normally see, but this is very much justified with the quality of the tour

Great introduction to Baku!
From the time I started communicating with Fouad our experience was wonderful. He ensured all arrangements were made smoothly and everything ran on time. Elsever our guide was friendly, accommodating and full of interesting facts about beautiful Baku. Our driver was a really nice chap too. Our group had little kids and seniors so Elsever ensured everyone was engaged, happy and comfortable in all aspects. He showed us all the sights but at a pace that was comfortable for us. All in all it was a wonderful experience and I can’t think of anything that didn’t work out perfectly.

Great Baku City Tour with guide Ell
The city tour was perfect for what we wanted. Excellent pre-tour communication led to no issue pick Ip in new people carrying van and off to beautiful view of city. Guide Mr Ell was fluent in English and a really pleasant person to talk to, to discuss the history of various aspects and to lead at a sensible pace, always ensuring all in the 3 person private tour were ok during what was a very hot day. Great guide, perfect half day tour. 5*.
