The experience

The tour starts at Otdix, where Baku's best kebabs come out of the kitchen. From there you move to Vavilon Baku to taste the city's finest sushi, then walk past the street vendors around Crystal Plaza to try pakhlava: a sweet, flaky pastry filled with nuts that traces back to the Middle East. The final stop is Yuka Kaiten Sushi, where you pick your own plates from a conveyor belt as they pass your seat.

A local guide leads the group through the city's vibrant streets and explains the food and the neighborhoods as you go. The guide speaks English and keeps the pace manageable for all fitness levels.
