    Great morning tour
    My tour guide Gunay was a pleasure to get to know, I was the only one on the tour so we had a lot of time to talk and walk around the city. I had a wonderful time!

    Fun and informative
    I did this tour while on a quick solo trip to Azerbaijan and it was really fun and informative. My guide Azay was a great conversationalist - I learned a lot of interesting facts about the history and culture of Azerbaijan, and also got some good local tips for things to see and do for the rest of my trip! We were able to see most of the major landmarks during the tour, and the city is especially spectacular by night (and also much cooler, since my visit was in summer). A perfect way to kick off my trip!

    Had the absolute best time in Azerbaijan thanks to Baku Tours!
    I cannot begin to recommend Baku Tours enough! They are so communicative and friendly and I was really lucky to have Arif as a guide for the evening tour of Baku; not only did we see of the sites but I also learned a great deal about contemporary Azeri culture and we had really great conversations. I also did a second tour visiting sites like Yaner Dag and it was simply amazing! Take one of their tours - you won’t be disappointed and I am really grateful for Arif’s expertise!

    Off the beaten path
    Interesting tour in a place where people usually don't go. If you have enough time, off the beaten path is this cemetery. Many tombs are particular and colorfoul. I had ARIF as guide and enjoyed my time. He's young, likes his job and his English is EXCELLENT. We also went to the Candy Cane Mountains: I suggest even this spectacular place.

    Walking Baku Tour
    Had a few hours to spare last night and decided on a walking tour. It was scheduled at 7pm but unfortunately i was late due to traffic which i have not factored since it was my first time in Baku. But Baku tours was considerate and did not cancel, instead they moved it to 8pm. I met my tour guide Arif and he was very young but very knowledgeable in history and showed me around as was in the tour agenda. I would like to commend Arif for a job well done. He is articulate, considerate and likeable. I enjoyed the casual night stroll. Baku is an amazing city. I will certainly recommend this tour to my friends.

    Delicious and fun group tour in Baku!
    We connected with Baku tours to arrange a custom tour for a group of international scientists at a conference in Baku. Etjal and team helped us to come up with a fabulous evening trying the foods of Baku! They arranged transportation, a cooking demonstration, dinner, entertainment, and a tea ceremony at multiple locations within our budget. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience and set the perfect note for a great week in Baku! Shoutout to Heydar for being a great tour guide!

Booked the small group, and it was only me, which was great as I could do it all at my pace.
The tour guide arif was a lovely guy and was able to answer my questions.
Overall, I enjoyed visiting both sites, each unique in their own way.
I would recommend this tour.

We had a fantastic trip visiting Gobustan and the mud volcanoes. Arif Seyidov was our tour guide and he did a splendid job sharing with us some history and other informative facts about Azerbaijan.
Arif was super friendly, helpful and quite knowledgeable. We really enjoyed our time and learned a lot!
Very highly recommended!

Heydar was my tour guide and he did an amazing job at guiding me through the sights and explaining the history and the culture behind various exhibits and attractions. He was a good companion and was very relatable and he also described life in Azerbaijan. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in history and local geographical marvels.

It was really helpful for me to be picked up from my hotel in the Old City. Azay was my guide and he was so friendly and kind and totally informed on all aspects of the volcanoes and rock art. The mud volcanoes were reached by a quite exciting off-road route, the volcanoes themselves were small but interesting and almost unknown elsewhere. The rock art museum was very impressive and well set-out and the walking trail for the rock art was like another world, silent and brooding. Good stuff. Azay and the driver also took me to the Roman inscription nearby which I appreciated as I was keen to see it. When my iPad ran out of juice Azay took some photos and e-mailed them to me. Big thanks to Azay and all the guys involved, I would definitely recommend them and this trip to anyone staying in Baku.

Seymur did his best to accommodate us, gave us really good info, even outside of the tour, for our entire stay it Baku, it all had a friendly feel to it. Excellent guides, I felt really welcome, was sincerely an awesome experience, whether we spoke English or Turkish, it really made my visit to Azerbaijan worthwile

Very satisfactory half-day tour with Seymur and driver, who I had entirely to myself - it must have been a quiet day! Seymur was very knowledgeable with excellent English. First we visited the mud volcanoes (via a VERY bumpy road - great fun) and their constant burping and bubbling, then the petroglyphs museum & site which were most impressive. Well organised, friendly guide/driver. Dropped off back near Sahil metro station to continue exploring Baku.

Had a brilliant tour with Seymur to the Mud Volcanoes and Unesco World Heritage site of Gobustan to see the Petroglyphs. Seymur was excellent and very informative and answered all our questions regarding this wonderful place of history. We were dropped back off at the hotel and thoroughly enjoyed our trip. We would definitely recommend the trip.
