I experienced this Baku Street Food Tour. It was a good experience. The guide Ramiz was humble and really informative. We enjoyed the tour over all.
We recently had the pleasure of joining the "Old and Modern Baku City Tour” in Baku, Azerbaijan, and it was an unforgettable experience! The blend of contemporary architecture and historical charm in the city is truly remarkable, and this tour perfectly captured that essence. Our guide, Sarvan, was absolutely fantastic! His knowledge of Baku's history and culture was impressive, and he shared fascinating stories that brought the city to life. His passion for the subject made every stop along the way not just informative but engaging as well. One of the highlights was the street food experience. We indulged in delicious shawarma and famous Baku kebabs that truly showcased the local flavors. Eating these tasty treats while exploring the vibrant streets of Baku made for a perfect afternoon. If you're looking to explore Baku's rich history and modern flair while enjoying some of the best street food around, I highly recommend this tour provided by Eagle Travel Azerbaijan. Thank you, Servan, for an amazing day filled with culture, history, and great food!
This tour will literally make your stomach full. We tasted a great deal of food, all different but worth it. Its a must do tour.
Come hungry! Enough food to share with another person and still leave full. A great way to see Baku off the beaten path, learn how locals eat, and avoid “touristy” spots. Great trip and highly recommend.
Expected more for the price. Food was good, but not great and believed 'street food' was different than experienced. Guide was informative and pleasant. I think the price for what we got was the determining factor for this rating.

Good exposure to Azerbaijan street food, which to us is very similar to Turkish food as we have spent 2 weeks there prior to visiting Azerbaijan.Our guide Aylan, was very knowledgable and took us to several places to various combinations of flat bread with meat / veg stuffing. There was too much to eat and we had to take away food from two stops. The tour ended with baklava and tea, which was nice after walking about 3+ hours. Good introduction to Azerbaijan.
Exceptional tour with Ali, a superb foodie ambassador for Azerbaijan. We visited a series of places, and tied a wide variety of local foods. Each place is carefully curated, with its own charm. As we ate, Ali regaled us with stories and lore. We heard about what it was like to grow up with these foods. One word of caution: go with empty stomachs. We were stuffed to the gills by the end of the tour, and ended up taking parcels to our hotel to eat the next day. We were a mixed pair, one vegetarian and one not. Ali did an admirable job of making sure the experience remained intact, while accounting for these food preferences. 100/10 definitely recommend!
Very interesting and delicious, to make your mouth water! 🤤 The guide made us try the best local specialties in places frequented by locals, very recommended!
I would say that everything was such perfect and I loved everything about it! Everything I experienced there made me such pleased and satisfied.
Great place 😃, I recommend you everyone to visit baku and this amazing place ......................................
