Wonderful Walking Tour of Old Baku! - We had a wonderful 2-hour walking tour of Old Baku with Elcan. He explained all the key sites and we learned a lot about Baku and Azerbaijani history and other features. He took us to a little shop where we were offered complimentary baklava and delicious Azerbaijani tea. He also kindly recommended a small place for lunch that he said was very authentic for very reasonable prices and he was right - all the food was delicious and it cost only 20 Manat for three of us!

Was in a Baku for only less than a day. - I was in Baku for only a day. The tours had already gone and I couldn't go for an evening tour since I had flight in the evening. The office recommend a special solo tour of the city. Gave me a good discount without even asked.. Mr Ellan was appointed who showed up on a designated time. He is young, energetic and very caring. He explained Azerbaijan's past, present situation and future prospects. He conducted in a very professional and timely manner keeping my special request in mind. I hope to engage them in future if I get a chance to visit Baku for other day tours. Thanks for making my trip a memorable one and special thanks to Elcan.

Great tour! But can be better organised - Musa did a very good job on this walking tour. His knowledge about Baku old city, trade history and how various parts of the old Baku were so important (silk trade route) and other small details was really good. Coverage of highland park and the view point for flame towers was also good. Start timing needs to be earlier to ensure that the mini books museum remains open. Most importantly the drop point next to carpet museum should be worked out in a way that the Carpet museum is still open.
