Things to do in Baku

An unforgettable Bosphorus sunset experience! The Bosphorus Sunset Tour in Istanbul was an absolute highlight of my trip. Watching the city transform as the sun slowly dipped behind the skyline was nothing short of magical. The blend of soft golden light reflecting off the water, the silhouettes of centuries-old palaces, and the call to prayer echoing across the strait created an atmosphere I’ll never forget. The boat was comfortable and beautifully maintained, with plenty of space to enjoy the views from all angles. The crew were friendly, professional,and there is an audio guide available, from the Dolmabahçe Palace to the Maiden’s Tower and the impressive bridges connecting Europe and Asia. One of my favorite moments was cruising past the waterfront mansions and watching the city lights begin to shimmer as night approached. It felt peaceful, romantic, and incredibly scenic. It’s the perfect way to experience the city’s beauty, history, and charm all at once. Highly recommended! ⸻

Our guide, Adil, was certainly entertaining and engaging and full of knowledge. We learnt much from him about the history of Azerbaijan and about each of the locations visited. It was an eye opening experience indeed. The lunch was yummy as well. A day well spent and your money's worth.

Our trip was started on very positive vibe because the guide Mr Adil knew a lot about Azerbaijan history, culture and food,and it was really helpful for us.Since journey was long he kept us entertained by singing and dancing with us.He is a very optimistic person.Firstbee saw candy cane mountain,guba jewish village,then we stopped for backlava and tasty lunch,we also stopped at picturesque Gechresh forest which was very beautiful.Next we went shadag,then did off-road journey to laza waterfall.Back in shahdag we went for thrilling roller ride and zip line.It was a memorable day and we saw Jewish synagogue and river that separated Jewish and Muslim world.Overall I highly recommend this tour.

the tour was amazing! Naz was very kind to tell us things about the locations and such a charming lady. the drive was safe as well that we fell asleep. Will definitely recommend to anyone planning to travel outside Baku. Shahdag, we will be back!!

very nice experience with Aarzoo… she narrated the stories and theories of the sights amazingly. very punctual too. Dropped us off at the actual time.

We went on this tour yesterday and honestly had a fantastic time. It wasn't just a standard sightseeing trip; it felt like a true deep dive into the local culture. Our guide was exceptional—incredibly knowledgeable and passionate. He didn't just point out landmarks; he took the time to explain the historical significance behind every stop, ensuring we understood exactly why these places matter. The culinary aspect was just as impressive. We stopped for lunch, and the food was wonderfully authentic—a genuine taste of the region rather than typical tourist fare. If you are looking for a perfect mix of history, context, and great local flavors, I highly recommend booking this. It was the highlight of our trip!

Today I joined the Azerbaijan Best Nature Tour from Baku, covering Gabala, Nohur Lake, the Seven Beauties Waterfall, and the Shamaki Tufandag Resort. It was a full day of discovering some of the country’s most beautiful natural and leisure spots. Nohur Lake offered calm and scenic views, the Seven Beauties Waterfall was refreshing and worth the climb, and the Tufandag Resort provided a modern, well-organized space to relax with mountain surroundings. Our guide, Kamran, made the experience stand out. He was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive, sharing insights about each place while keeping the day smooth and enjoyable. His energy and organization ensured that the trip was not only well-paced but also engaging throughout. Overall, this was an excellent Sunday getaway from Baku ... a perfect balance of nature, relaxation, and adventure. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to see Azerbaijan beyond the city, especially with Kamran as a guide.

The guide Nurlan was amazing and after the boat tour, he took me to the Nizami street and we had Gutab, the local food of Azerbaijan. Since, I was a solo traveller, he took my photos as well. He is a great photographer. 100 % recommended to everyone

Our tour guide Narmen was amazing! Very knowledgeable, friendly, and made the trip fun and memorable. They explained everything clearly, answered all our questions, and made sure everyone felt included. I truly appreciated their enthusiasm and professionalism. Highly recommended!
