I’m an architect and urban enthusiast, and my tours are built around Baku’s built environment—from the medieval walls of the Old City to the oil-boom mansions, Soviet blocks, and the bold new structures that define the skyline today. I explain not only what you’re looking at but why it was built, who designed it, and how it fits into the city’s story.

We’ll look at the mix of Eastern and Western influences, the use of local materials, and the shift from imperial and Soviet planning to the modern identity of the capital. I also include insider perspectives on ongoing projects, controversial buildings, and the debates that shape Baku’s future. The tour is rich in detail but never dry—I keep it accessible for anyone curious about cities and design.

I lead tours in English, Azərbaycan, and Russian. Whether you’re an architect, a photographer, or simply someone who likes to understand a place through its buildings, I’ll tailor the route and the narrative to your level and interests. I look forward to showing you the many layers of Baku’s architecture.
