Amazing day out! Baku city, cave etchings and mud volcanos
We were met by Elnur Guseinov at the hotel before the planned time by a few minutes. He was friendly and helpful throughout. We were taken straight to the outdoor museum at Qobustan where Stone Age early human depictions are seen. The views are breathtaking. After this we were taken to the mud volcanos and here we went off road and up the volcano to see the methane bubbling through the mud pools. A primordial experience. We then went back to Baku and were taken to the Turkish monument, the Martyrs lane and eternal flame monument. We were told about the history of Azerbaijan and its past of invasion and maintaining its borders. The views of the city were incredible. We then took the Finicula train down the hill to the old city where we were provided information about the history of the Maiden’s Tower and the ruins of St Bartholomew’s church. The tour was excellent and we were looked after every step of the way. Throughout our day Elnur was informative, knowledgable and spoke excellent English. He explained clearly about every area we visited all from memory and had some great anecdotes and stories of legends from Baku’s history. Thank you for a great experience. We would add that Baku is a hidden gem of the world to visit - its people are friendly, the food is great and the atmosphere is electric at night.

Great tour (once it started)
Ali was a great guide, showed us all the sites on the tour, and was very knowledgeable on the backstory. Unfortunately he made a mistake with the booking that meant he was over an hour late for the start of the tour, so have to knock off a star for that.

Old and Modern Baku City Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Baku.
How much does Old and Modern Baku City Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $18 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 Old and Modern Baku City Private Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Old and Modern Baku City Private Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 106 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 Old and Modern Baku City Private 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 Old and Modern Baku City Private Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Old and Modern Baku City Private Tour?
+
Around 37 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Old and Modern Baku City Private 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.
