    Wonderful and informative guide

    Riad was an excellent tour guide. Very informative and helpful. Really friendly and knowledgeable. He knew the answers to all the questions. We saw the best Baku has to offer - old and new. Thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it.

    Fun and informative

    I did this tour while on a quick solo trip to Azerbaijan and it was really fun and informative. My guide Azay was a great conversationalist - I learned a lot of interesting facts about the history and culture of Azerbaijan, and also got some good local tips for things to see and do for the rest of my trip! We were able to see most of the major landmarks during the tour, and the city is especially spectacular by night (and also much cooler, since my visit was in summer). A perfect way to kick off my trip!

    Response from the operator: Wow! Indeed, Azay is one of our best guides. Thank you for this detailed review!

    Had the absolute best time in Azerbaijan thanks to Baku Tours!

    I cannot begin to recommend Baku Tours enough! They are so communicative and friendly and I was really lucky to have Arif as a guide for the evening tour of Baku; not only did we see of the sites but I also learned a great deal about contemporary Azeri culture and we had really great conversations. I also did a second tour visiting sites like Yaner Dag and it was simply amazing! Take one of their tours - you won’t be disappointed and I am really grateful for Arif’s expertise!

    Excellent night trip

    My guide was a University student. He was excellent in sharing the history of Azerbaijan and provided a good perspective of how the younger generation view the nation and its society.

    Baku by Night: Small-Group Walking Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Baku.

    How much does Baku by Night: Small-Group Walking Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $49 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Baku usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Baku by Night: Small-Group Walking Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Baku is not rushed.

    Is Baku by Night: Small-Group Walking Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Baku, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Baku by Night: Small-Group Walking Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Baku by Night: Small-Group Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Baku by Night: Small-Group Walking Tour?

    +

    Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Baku can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Baku and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Baku by Night: Small-Group Walking Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Baku within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Baku?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Baku experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Gobustan and Absheron tour, BEST Gobustan, Volcanoes & Absheron Fire Tour (Group or Private), Shahdag, Quba, Candy Cane - Azerbaijan's Alpine Odyssey Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Baku?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Baku?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Baku by Night: Small-Group Walking Tour?

    +

    Included: Local guide. Not included: Food and drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Baku by Night: Small-Group Walking Tour?

    +

    Tour departs from the exit of Icharishahar metro station (there is only one exit/entrance). Your guide will have a badge with his name and Baku Tours logo on it. Exact meeting point: http://bit.ly/IchariMeet Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Baku by Night: Small-Group Walking Tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Russian, English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Baku by Night: Small-Group Walking Tour?

    +

    Is Baku by Night: Small-Group Walking Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
