- EmilyR40 contributionsGreat wine tour in BakuI had a great visit on the wine tour of Baku. It was meant to be a group walking wine tour, however I was the only one that booked/showed up, so it ended up being a private tour with my guide Gamar - who was excellent! We went to two different wine bars where I tried 7 different wines (white, red, rose, pomegranate, and quince) from different regions of Azerbaijan. The accompanying snack plates were really good. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone visiting Baku who many not have time to make it out to the wine regions!Written November 18, 2024

We met our guide Gamar and started our toir around and in the old city of Baku. She was very friendly, imformative and gave us a lot of information and really good recommendations. She got us inside of beautiful hotel and buildings, explaining about the culture, folklore and habits of the locals. She even extended the duration of the trip and accopanied us to really nice restaurant. Thumbs up!

I had an excellent experience with Seymour as my guide in Baku. His knowledge of the city's history was impressive, and he took the time to explain everything in detail. Seymour went above and beyond, even helping me exchange money and get a metro card. I highly recommend booking a tour with him!

I did the walking tour of the Old City with Aydan. I got lost and was late but she waiting a whole 15 minutes! She is very knowledgeable about the landmarks and the city's history. I got good insight and tips from Aydan. The tour was nicely paced and I saw a variety of historical landmark buildings and historical figures around the city. I highly recommend Aydan as a tour guide.

This was the best tour I went on in Baku. The city is amazing and unique as it is, but having a local guide us around made it all the more magnificent. Our guide Azay was friendly, motivated, and professional from start to finish. He was eager to give us the best experience possible by informing us about the history of the city, and he delivered 100%.
It’s because of this experience that I will be revisiting Baku in the years to come, and hope Azay gets bigger and better opportunities as he has so much talent presenting these tours.
Thankyou Baku Tours & Thank you Azay.

Had the great luck to have a dedicated tour with Azay. Beside being extremely knowledgeable about the city and the local culture, he managed to share his perspective on a number of topics that go well beyond a generic tour. Very wise guy with a bright future in front of him. Happy I had a chance to experience the city in his company, you should not really miss spending time with him!

We had a great time on a walking tour with Gamar. She was showing us around the old town and knowledgeably telling the stories behind. She gave us great tips about Baku and answered all our many questions. It was a pleasure to have her as our guide!

It was a perfect day for a solo walking tour within the old city. We also saw some gorgeous buildings outside the old city that had interesting history. My guide Gamar was very knowledgeable and did an awesome job of communicating historical facts and local stories.

Seymur is a really great tour guide! He has an in depth knowledge of Baku and made it very interesting! He would make you understand the history of Baku easily by connecting all the puzzles and presenting a clear chronological timeline. He speaks very clear. He was patient and helpful. Strongly recommend!
