Beschrijving
This tour a journey through the 20th-century layers of Baku that most tourists never see. We explore complex narrative of the Soviet era and its contrast with modern Azerbaijani identity
Niche Theme: While others focus on ancient or ultra-modern Baku, we tackle the fascinating, often overlooked Soviet period—a topic of great interest to a specific, curious traveler segment.
Authentic Storytelling: The tour is framed as a story of "Layers & Revival," exploring how Baku absorbed Soviet influence and is now reclaiming its own identity.
Exclusive Access: We visit a Soviet-era traditional bakery that has operated since the 1970s, meeting the baker for a taste of authentic "Soviet-era" bread—an experience not available to the general public.
Targets an Underserved Audience: This is perfect for history buffs, architecture enthusiasts, and "experiential" travelers (the "explorers" mentioned in the article) who want to understand the real, complex soul of a post-Soviet capital.
This tour is designed for culturally curious travelers who have already seen the main sights and want to delve deeper. It's for those who ask "why" and "how," not just "what." It's particularly suited for travelers interested in 20th-century history, urban development, and authentic, non-touristy interactions.
