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.

This was our 1st time in Azerbaijan. Tahir and Arif gave us a tour of Baku. Not only a tour but the history and culture. There efforts were very commendable . I recommend them highly
My husband and I did a Baku City Tour with Tahir & Arif today and it was exactly what we had hoped for. With only a couple of days in Baku, we wanted to see and learn as much as we could. Tahir was a fountain of knowledge! I sometimes get lost in all the information provided on tours but Tahir’s communication skills and method of explaining all the sites was not only thorough but entertaining too. It was also great to chat to him about life in Baku in general. It was a delight to have Tahir & Arif take us on this private tour and I would highly recommend them to anyone coming to Baku.
We had very good experience tour in Azerbaijan. From Baku to Kuba. #shahdagh mount. Our Guide Solmaz was very helpful and informative. Emil in the office book for us. And the lady in Nizami Street. I recommend this agency. They are affordable price and good service.
Taher and Aref were very helpful and knowledgeable, the tour was a nice introduction to the city on our first day. They gave us a nice overview of the city which helped us plan the rest of our stay.
The curated trips by Guided Azerbaijan were excellent and highly recommended. Booking was smooth and hassle-free with clear information on the itinerary, pricing and what to expect. The private driver and guide were so friendly and polite throughout the trip. Overall the trip exceeded my expectations.
