Hello, I’m Gaya, a passionate local guide from Baku, Azerbaijan. Born and raised in this fascinating city, I bring both academic knowledge in History and real-life experience to every tour I lead. My goal is not just to show you Baku, but to help you truly feel its spirit ,where ancient traditions meet modern energy.
With over 5 years of experience in the tourism industry, I specialize in creating immersive and memorable journeys through Baku’s iconic landmarks, hidden gems, and rich cultural stories. I believe every street, building, and corner has a story worth discovering and I love bringing those stories to life for my guests.
Together with my colleague Ramil, we offer flexible tour options to suit your schedule. Ramil leads engaging tours starting at 5 pm, while I host evening experiences beginning at 7 pm , perfect for those who want to see Baku in a different light.
Beyond guiding, I am deeply committed to personal growth through language learning and exploring nature, which constantly broadens my perspective and enhances the experiences I create for travelers.
Join me, and let’s discover the soul of Baku together.
The tour was very nice and easygoing and although we could not see everything because the funicular was closed, it was nice tour for the first day in the city. Thank you!
Yusif was an excellent guide—professional, friendly, and very easy to talk to. As I was the only participant on the tour, the experience felt very personalised and relaxed. I was keen to understand more about Azerbaijan beyond the standard tour content, and while always professional, Yusif was open to answering my questions on everyday life, the education system, and other topics I asked about, which was highly appreciated. Yusif also helped with photos and showed me the best spots along the way. I had actually planned this trip twice before but had to cancel due to the Middle East situation and flight disruptions, so I really appreciated that the tour still went ahead despite me being the only guest—third time lucky. I highly recommend this tour, Yusif and Gaya (never met Gaya but for the communication prior).
Very informative and professional
We took a tour with Ramil and it was like walking around the city with a friend. He was very open to any kind of questions we had about life in Azerbaijan, had the best tips and chatted with us all the way. We can highly recommend him as a guide for Baku and we wish him all the best!
