City of Winds, Heart of Stone: Discover Baku on Foot
I’m a passionate tour guide based in Baku, and I love showing visitors the rich history, culture, and hidden corners of this beautiful city. Walking through the old streets of Icherisheher or along the Caspian promenade, I enjoy sharing stories that bring Baku to life. In my free time, I explore new places, meet travelers, and dive into local cuisine and traditions.
Pickup
We’ll start the tour at Molokan Gardens, a peaceful park in central Baku, located between Khagani Street and Uzeyir Hajibeyov Street. Look for the main fountain in the center of the park, that’s where we’ll meet. Please arrive 10–15 minutes early to make sure we start on time. I won’t have a sign, but I’ll be waiting by the fountain and happy to greet you with a smile! If you’re unsure or running late, feel free to message me. I’ll help you find us.
