Baku is in the midst of a rather extensive and expensive beautification process.

The majority of historical buildings in the city center are targeted with upward flood lights.

I am solo traveler and found this Tour at GetYourGuide to visit many places near Baku city in one day. It was very convenient tour with private driver and the guide was very friendly. He speaks English very well and there was no problem with communication. He even made a time to check the Bibiheybat mosque, which is not on the tour list. I think if you don’t have much time to be in Baku and want to visit Qobustan and Atashgah, which located completely different from the city, this would be very convinient.

Fantastic trip that made it possible to see the entire landscape of Azerbaijan and have a view of the interior and mountains of the Caucasus. Our guide Habil was fantastic. Very attentive and polite. No defects. Note 20

it was a very fun and varied tour of Azerbaijani curiosities. The guide, Habil Gudratli, told the history and modernity of the country with great calm and a smile. A fun time and a memory of the colors of Azerbaijan.

What a great experiance and Habil is the best Tourguide you can get in Baku. Thanks for hanging out with the 3 Swiss Guys!

What a cool trip. Thank you itouch for the lovely and well organized Tour..
