Tour description

Historical Inner & Outer Town Magical Baku Tour 


It is a brilliant walking tour for those who want to catch an eye on the city's spirit, touch on the multilayered history, and dive into the architectural symbolism of Baku. The transitional topics of art, literature, historical events, and personalities will make you feel in situ time frame of those occurrences.

I am always pro-interactiveness of walking tour, thus please do not hesitate to ask questions, comment and laugh.

The walking tour includes spots mentioned below but is not limited to those: 

  • İsmailiyyə building 
  • Səadət Palace
  • Medieval hotels
  • Literature Museum
  • Maiden Castle (Tower)
  • Institute of Manuscripts
  • Historical Double Gates 
  • Narrow streets of inner town etc.



Meeting place: In front of İçərişəhər (Icherisheher) subway (metro) station, next to the monument of H.Z.Taghiyev (see pictures).

Please take into account that due to summer temperature the walking tour might be not too easy walk.

A notice for German-speaking walkers:  
if you book a tour in English, take into account that I offer the same tour in German language too. However, the tour in German language has a different time-slot than the one in English. Depending on available schedules I could offer you a separate tour. Just ask in advance if you would like to have a walking tour in German language. :))

Kamil Guruwalks- Kamil is the kind of the guide who you want to have as a guest at your dinner party as the conversations will keep flowing. Loved the tour. Very enthusiastic and informative guide with a wealth of knowledge. Gives a lot of history and background and puts things into perspective for those who love deeper understanding of the city and it's people. Kamil likes to show things beyond the obvious sites. Speaks very good English and German with a lot of supporting pictures on the iPad. The tea experience was something that we didn't expect so that was special too. The tour finished at Nizami st perfect for an after tour snack. The tour lasts much longer than advertised so please don't book appointments right after so you enjoy it in full. We did the inner and outer town magical Baku tour with him and we highly recommend.

I recently had the pleasure of joining a walking tour in Baku led by Kamil, courtesy of Guru Walk, and I must say it was an unforgettable experience. Kamil is, without a doubt, the most informative and engaging guide I have ever had the pleasure of touring with. From the moment we set off on our exploration of Baku, Kamil's passion and knowledge about the city shone through. His enthusiasm was contagious, and his deep understanding of the history, culture, and architecture of Baku truly enriched our tour. Kamil's storytelling abilities were exceptional, bringing the city's past and present to life with vivid descriptions and engaging anecdotes. He patiently answered all our questions and went above and beyond to ensure that everyone in the group was having a fantastic time. Thanks to Kamil, I not only saw the beautiful sights of Baku but also gained a deeper appreciation for its rich heritage and vibrant atmosphere. His professionalism, warmth, and genuine love for his city were truly inspiring. I highly recommend Kamil as a tour guide to anyone looking to explore Baku. His expertise and passion for sharing his knowledge will undoubtedly make your experience unforgettable. Thank you, Kamil, for a fantastic tour—I can't wait to visit Baku again and learn more from you!

Kamil was an amazing tour guide! We learned so much about the recent history and he was able to thoughtfully answer every question we had. It was obvious Kamil is very passionate and knowledgeable about his work. He added so many personal touches: a homemade tea break, excellent restaurant recommendations, personal anecdotes, and even an amazing movie recommendation that highlights much of the history and architecture we learned about. An unforgettable experience all around!! We were able to appreciate Baku so much more after taking this tour… we highly recommend!!
