The walking tour of Old City Baku. Not to be missed. - The city tour was an eye opener to Baku. So well organised. And Mr. Patel our tour guide was ideal. Knew the history and explained well. The walk was great. And yes it was very windy. Had a great time. Ms. Esmira and Ms. Narmin from Baku City Tours were real good organisers.

A quick glance at the culture - We had an overall good experience knowing about the country and its culture. Special kudos to our guide, Aysu - who was extremely active, jovial and helpful. Our group was small, with 6 people, and hence had a good walk around with others as well. Though light rain played spoilsport, the city tour lasted around 4 hours covering old city and parts of new city. Please note that this does not inlcude access to any of the sights, though we did come back later to visit the attractions as tickets are required to be taken for entrance.
Take offs - Monday is a holdiay for most attractions & you cannot visit the carpet musueum, miniature museum or Funicular ride.
