5A great adventure!
A great experience. Thanks Old City Tours.
3Around beautiful Baku
The description of today’s visits led us to expect things that were a bit more interesting or exceptional so we felt a bit disappointed. On the whole the guide and driver were good. Our guide, Samir was very knowledgeable and approachable but he spoke very quickly and we missed a bit of information.
5A Gobustan excursion
It Was an interesting tour. I learnt a lot at Gobustan stone art, I loved visiting the Zoroastrism temple and museum. It did not particularly like the tour guide, there was an unwilling to help make photos and a disdain for what he deemed "tourist behaviour". Go on this tour if tou really love nature, history and culture, it is not a fancy tour but educative.
3The tour was okay, little...
The tour was okay, little bit stressed by the tour guide even if we have enough time. Spots are nice, well planned.
5Very nice trip from Baku.
Brilliant tour. Our guide was very knowledgable and kept us entertained throughout the day tour. Highly recommend this trip and operator.
4Guide was flexible about...
Guide was flexible about changing Mud Volcano Museum to Mud Volcano visit which was the highlight of the tour despite the rough drive there. Good day out

About Baku
Baku is Azerbaijan's capital on the Caspian Sea, where a walled medieval old town sits beside oil-era mansions and glass towers shaped like flames.
The walled Old City, Icherisheher, is a UNESCO-listed maze of lanes with the Maiden Tower and the Palace of the Shirvanshahs, both medieval. Beyond the walls, grand mansions from the oil boom of the late nineteenth century line the streets, and a long boulevard runs beside the Caspian. The three Flame Towers glow on the skyline, and Zaha Hadid's curving Heydar Aliyev Centre is a landmark of modern architecture.
Top-ranked sights in Baku: Bibi-Heybat Mosque (Bibiheybet Mescidi), Yanar Dag, Baku Old City (Icherisheher).
