You meet your guide at the exit of Icherisheher metro and the city immediately shifts—the cobbled lanes of Old Baku narrow, stone walls leaning in to share steam and spice. Gutab sizzles on a street-side griddle, the pastry folding savory lamb or a fragrant herb mix into a warm, handheld map of local flavor. The tour moves from maze-like alleys to a curated downtown restaurant, then finishes with tea and murabba on Baku Boulevard where the Caspian Sea breezes push the steam from your cup toward the shore.
