5Trip around Azerbaijan
I had amazing tour around Azerbaijan. We visited very interesting sites which showed a lot about the history of the area. Our guide SEYIDAGA was amazing and his English was really good. He did excellent job on describing the places and sharing interesting stories. He also love to talk about football :) The best part was the trip to the muddy volcanoes - they transfered us to LADA (soviet car 40 years old) and the drive through the dust was fun..

5The best experience this Year
My experience on the tour with Guide Seyid was the best. My first time in the country, I learned so much from him. He is very polite, funny, and very intelligent. I loved Azerbaijan's history; thanks to that tour, I fell in love with the country. Eager to return.
3Great tour. BE AWARE Lots of additional fees to pay on tour.
Our tour guide Naz was excellent and so passionate! However, I really dislike the hidden fees included. Extra this, extra that. Mud volcano is part of the drive and should be included in the price but it’s actually an extra! So be careful when comparing with other tours as they tend to include.

About Baku
Baku is Azerbaijan's capital on the Caspian Sea, where a walled medieval old town sits beside oil-era mansions and glass towers shaped like flames.
The walled Old City, Icherisheher, is a UNESCO-listed maze of lanes with the Maiden Tower and the Palace of the Shirvanshahs, both medieval. Beyond the walls, grand mansions from the oil boom of the late nineteenth century line the streets, and a long boulevard runs beside the Caspian. The three Flame Towers glow on the skyline, and Zaha Hadid's curving Heydar Aliyev Centre is a landmark of modern architecture.
Top-ranked sights in Baku: Bibi-Heybat Mosque (Bibiheybet Mescidi), Yanar Dag, Baku Old City (Icherisheher).
