Unforgettable journey
A truly incredible experience. The 4-5 hour tour was a perfect way to immerse myself in Baku’s rich history. The Icherisheher and Maiden Tower were the highlights for me, but the Shirvanshahs’ Palace and Museum of Literature were equally fascinating. A big thank you to Fuad, our guide, for his detailed knowledge and engaging storytelling. Highly recommend GuidedAzerbaijan for anyone visiting Baku!
