Enjoy a seamless private guided Baku tour with your own car, professional English-speaking guide, and fully personalized service.

📍 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.

Enjoy a Boat Tour, relax by the water, or visit modern malls like Daniz Mall and Park Boulevard Mall for some evening shopping.

Fascinating city with great driver and guide

I booked the Baku city tour for 4 hours. Guide and driver came on time and we met in the lobby. City tour started from Upland Park and we were able to see the panoramic view of the city and had luck to take the nice pictures, after this we went to old city for explore and walking. Guide explained the history of Baku in very good technics and asked some questions about the tour. It was totally fun and interesting. Worth to take the tour. Recommended to everybody.

Excellent city tour by Elmir

The tour of Baku city was well planned for the second day by the company. Our guide Elmir explained us everything and as well as invited us to drink some soft drinks in one of the restaurant in Old City. It was very sweet of him.😊😊😊 I took very nice pictures front of Maiden tower, but can't find them now :( Hope I will visit again there for the new taste and pictures 😎 estimimag November 7, 2019
