Tour description

Historical Inner & Outer Town Magical Baku Tour

It is a brilliant walking tour for those who want to catch an eye on the city's spirit, touch on the multilayered history, and dive into the architectural symbolism of Baku. The transitional topics of art, literature, historical events, and personalities will make you feel in situ time frame of those occurrences.

Please take into account that due to summer temperature the walking tour might be not too easy walk.

A notice for German-speaking walkers:
if you book a tour in English, take into account that I offer the same tour in German language too. However, the tour in German language has a different time-slot than the one in English. Depending on available schedules I could offer you a separate tour. Just ask in advance if you would like to have a walking tour in German language. :))

Important Notice
– A minimum of four (4) individuals are required to operate the tour.
– The stairs in the old town present challenges for individuals with mobility impairments and those with difficulty walking.
– Please arrive at the meeting point 5 minutes prior to the scheduled start time.
