Old & Modern Amazing Baku - Exciting tour of the old town with guide Rameel.  The Old City of Baku is gorgeous, with its narrow alleys and buildings that blend limestone and wood. It's a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and while it certainly feels like an open-air museum, it's actually a living city with people still residing within its walls. I highly recommend taking a tour guide to fully appreciate its rich history and hidden gems.

Wonderful tour with a wonderful guide - This city tour was just wonderful ! Our guide Leyla is such a sweet person. Her pre-tour communication was very efficient. During the tour she was taking pictures of us, which she later sent via WhatsApp. Leyla is very knowledgeable and her enthusiasm is enchanting. The tour itself covers a lot of the old and new city. I can absolutely recommend this tour !
